Dungeon ditch timer needs to go.

Ninja looting is where you either get what you want, or not, and pop smoke after a boss fight leaving people behind without so much a word on why. First boss fight is down, healer gets what they want from it, then leave. Now you are sitting wondering where you're next healer is coming from, or tank, w/e.

Not that it really matters in the context of the thread, but this is not the activity that ninja looting refers to. It's a (honestly morally debatable) term people use to describe someone that essentially "steals" drops; think that you've just tanked T5, and the healer rolls Need on your Allagan Battleaxe. Since you can't roll Need if you're not the class, it drastically cuts down on the ninja'ing, which is why the first couple of responses were along this vein.

There are other ways of stealing loot, but the overarching term to describe it is ninja looting. (we just called it loot stealing back in the day)

Nowadays people just use it to rage at people using the system (example : HA geared tank rolling need on Divine war gear when a dps wanted it for whatever the reason). That's just a childish way to say "They got what I wanted although I didn't want to secure it by going in the right job"

And now that we can't vote dismiss people when the loot pool is active, there is no remaining way to "ninja" loot in this game.

Or a little communication. Before the boss fight speak up and tell the party your intentions. "I plan on Greeding X. Do you guys mind if I take it?" More often than not members will be inclined to acquiesce to your request.

aye sure, but unless they specifically agree to let you have it, it's only a matter of being rude or not. If they specifically agreed to let you have it however, you can always fill a ticket for (can't remember the category in which it is) (maybe grief) and it will be answered. **


edit : ** : only if the chat logs can prove ALL the other players agreed to let you have it, or at least the one who over rolled you
