Ninja looters: what to do?

[Mysticknight]

I am wondering what should be done about ninja looters, it is not a problem really at a low level, but at higher levels this can be a real issue.

I'm looking for sugjestions as for what to do if I have to deal with the idiots, and almost any sugjestion is welcome.

There is nothing you can do except warn other people about the looter.

That... Kind of sucks...



So your sure there is nothing that can be done? Ffs....

My guild recently had a ninja looting experience. During an MC raid a hunter was told he was not allowed to roll on a particular sword as rogues and warriors had priority on that weapon (as explained on our forums). He left guild straight afterwards. Later that week his brother, also a member of our guild, ninja looted all of Majordomo's chest. The hunter then joined our healing channel to mock us. They both then left the server.

Its just something you have to grin and bear as there is no way around it. Our guild still runs raids on free for all loot and we just figure its worth losing the occasional item to weed out the bad eggs (to mix metaphors).

On a happier note we discovered the realm the ninjas moved to and they cannot now get a raiding guild there.

Looks like you did a dosage of owning them with there next realm (btw how did you find it out?)

I'm just glad I haven't had an experiance with any of them yet.

Oh well, in the game I used to play the person who did the most damage got the loot... And if it was tied the person with the least exp. would get loot - I kinda wish things were like that when it comes to looting sometimes...

Just wondering what exactly is a ninja looter? From what I can tell its someone who rolls need when he doest need, but even after that he still has to win the need. Im only up to lvl 30 instances so I have yet to experience this.

On my server the guild of some of the biggest whine babies and ninja's and stuff along with some ninja looters left a few months ago, I was so happy.

This man speaks the truth. You could also try being more selective when recruiting/getting a group. We've done MCruns with free for all loot, without any incidents :)

Loot rules are generally that you pass on BOP items and discuss who gets it. A typical ninja will simply wait for everyone else to pass then hit need or greed, automatically winning the item.

It's not so much an issue at lower levels but can be a real problem at high levels.

The main problem I find is that the only recourse is to use a global channel (usually LFG) to announce their ninjaing. This is often ignored or ridiculed however, which I find strange. The alternative for a guilded ninja is to contact his guild and inform them of his actions. This can be productive on occasion.
