View Full Version : Loot stealing

So, there is a one hour lockout timer on STFs and I can't afford to fight loot stealers all the time. And I'm slower anyway.

I have yet to see a SINGLE loot that is not granted by the system. Always the same: it appears for a brief moment and someone steals it. Talking about boss drops ofc.

This is disgusting.

Why do you allow for this?

What are you talking about? Loot in STF is either only for you or gets a Need/Greed Window. Nothing else. Unless you get kicked from the team due to a certain bug (which can't happen every single STF) and thus are outside the need/greed-system, there simply is no loot-ninjaing possible.

Yes, I often get kicked from the group just before the end of the fight. Loot appears then disappears immediately.

It is a bug last I heard people. A bug.

this still going on?

leave team, leg it to optional loot and take it before anyone else gets there; loot not bound to team, so anyone can loot it, if your not in team at the time you loot, you get it all, as no team to need/greed it with.

i thought this was fixed ages ago?

cheers

Just like the De-cloaking bug?

When they leave a bug in long enough, it becomes a feature!

That's not how I've seen it happen. For me the loot has never been first-come, first-serve. Sometimes the loot doesn't even spawn if the team disbands right before it.

huh, never seen this work, seen people try it and endup not getting anything.

as to teh decloak bug, they should just remove the cloak till they can fix it, that way people will stop complaning about a bug and instead complain about the lack of a cloak :D
