So I had encountered this situation a couple of times. I joined a split MF game, checked other players’ locations (shortcut P by default), and went ahead to a location where no one was present. I was half way finishing the minor monsters, and then found a guy just joined me and of course he/she wanted a share of the final boss’ drops.
Another time I had already killed Baal, and was rearranging my stuff to make room. And a Sorceress showed up, found nothing interesting, and so she picked up the flawless gem I had thrown to the ground (while making room) and left the game. No big deal as I’ve already took the 39 MF chance guard that Baal gave me.
I thought split MF means separate MF. Am I wrong?
People are free to play how they wish in public games.

I would never tolerate nor do such things but you’ll get plenty of replies on the line of “it’s a free game, if it’s public anything goes, deal with it” (edit: perfectly exemplified by the above comment)
Either find like minded people like you to play with or accept the wild west that is the D2 community

Organize private split mf games to avoid scum like that. Public games are the wild wild west and you should count yourself lucky they didn’t PK you instead. It’s a shame botters and weirdos are gatekeeping /players command on bnet which would solve many issues.

It’s not appropriate, but your playing a pubby game, that means people will do whatever they want to do. Expect the worst.
Make private games once you find some people you are good with.

This is why a number of players want the “/players x” put into the game… Many of us have had similar experiences. Furthermore, I am quite sure that many of the players throwing a fit about “/players x” being added or considered for online play, do NOT want it instituted…

I don’t really join split games, but I do wonder…
Who gets to decide who goes where? Who gets the ‘better’ areas. What about when the better places are used up? Just supposed to twiddle your thumbs?
To the /players x folks, go cry in a corner. It causes as many problems as it solves.
Want it, go play SP, use infinite stash plugins, and leave the realm. Thanks.
This is just more reasons to add /players x on battle.net (at least on non-ladder) and no it doesn’t cause as much problems as no players x currently does, it’s been discussed for months already.

Happened to me too, i went to solo CS (with a blizz sorc so had to use merc and skip the mages), and pally who was not in party joins right time for diablo and ninja the kill/xp and drops.
He does the same in baal after i had soloed the whol 5 waves, and he even acted surprised that i would hostile him at that point (this was in HC).
i mean in pub games you have to expect and plan for that. because people suck. thats why i prefer to play in a group with ppl you know. sometimes thats not possible and i pub it. and ik when i do i might as well have 0 room because it wont matter. not saying ive never ganked a drop because who hasnt …but i try to be respectful whenever im leeching exp in pub games i rarely bother for drops. i craft tho so i will snatch any gems and runes i see usually no one cares about gems unless they craft too
When I hosted split MF games I added in the description what I was running. Most of the time people would join, ask what was taken take what’s left, farm, join next game. Of course, there were a few who didn’t care about this.
I don’t necessarily support /players X on BNET, but I fully support a system to not allow certain players to join the games you host. Something like anyone who’s on your ignore list can’t join your games. This should drive griefers towards playing with their own kind
people can be dicks, duh
You should talk to tohers to find out or set some rules, its best made with people you discuss rules before you start doing split runs.
