Just ask, if they leave the sword they most probably don't want it and would probably be happy to leave them to lowbies.... But ask, not asking is against the rules, and this game is about socializing anyway...

If you didn’t kill it you should not loot it unless you have the permission of the person who did the killing. Most would not care but if someone did you could be punished for it. Even if the item was about to rot.

Just shoot them a tell and ask them.

Loramin would suspend someone over a 4 platinum fine steel weapon? What a loser.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Just ask. Honestly, if a player asked me if they could loot fine steel, I'd be kinda touched they asked and saved me the trouble of feeling mildly irritated by their silent ninja presence.

is the item tradable? if so, loot up without a word. the game already has a mechanic where if someone kills a mob, they have exclusive loot rights for a period of time. then that period wanes, and looting is ffa...

This. From kill time, to 5 min, only the group/player can loot. That is their window. After that, it is indeed FFA. Like it was told to me, if you wanted it that bad, you had 3 minutes to take it. If the original developers wanted it any other way, they would pema lock the corpse as they do in WoW. In WoW if it is not your kill, you can't loot. (At least it used to be that way, years ago.)

The only time I hear whiners go off about "ninja" looting, is when quadders are so busy running around to stay live, they don't have the chance to loot their kills within that 3 minute window. Sux to be them.....

Don't loot things that don't belong to you

Just ask. We're talking about vendor trash. 90%+ of the time you'll get a quick "sure, go ahead" and then you're good to go.

If I was a GM I'd probably give the guy who petitioned a fine steel sword that was "ninja looted" a little vacation from sim elf.

Its 0 tolerance ninja looting for a reason. There's no set line to what is significant. 4p? 10p? 100p? 1000p? If a piddly little newbie killed some mob with a FS weap, but then had to zone. That may even be the first time they've made a few plat off a single mob.
