I quit my guild today because of ninja looting

This guy is like talking to a wall. I’m thinking potential boomer lead poisoning.

I should not have to tell you that if you are going to sandbag you dont deserve an item.

It depends. If the guild expects someone to bring consumes, buffs, know their class & basics for the raid and the player just didn’t do those things then the player didn’t hold up their end of the deal.

It’s not ninja looting in that case.

You don’t jump into the water, you don’t get to roll on the swim speed ring in my raids.

THEMS THE RULES.

I’ve browsed wow forums off and on for over a decade. I don’t remember a decision being met with more overwhelming praise than this one.

The few people who post negative feedback are the same people who refuse to acknowledge that gdkp is a major demand driver for RMT and botting. Why would you think that delusional feedback carries any weight with devs?

well mostly i just see posts saying that the GDKP restriction does nothing but force players to play the game in a way they don’t want to.

Fixed.
Slash ten

so when developers force players to play the game in a way that the players don’t like, the mmo just loses players.

and then it just becomes a single player game because all of the other players left because they no longer enjoy the game.

developers should embrace the playstyles that players enjoy so that the mmo thrives.

Lolno.

If you want to find a reason it’s that in the last 10 years or so, the amount of mentally ill groups of thin-skinned soy drinkers has increased by a lot.

Imagine unironically stating that banning an ENORMOUSLY unpopular practice that makes the game worse for everyone except those participating in said behavior is going to decrease player count.

If you like the game enough that you still log in on your geared toons only to make gold through gdkp, then you’re not going to leave. You’ll lament the loss of what was once lucrative access to potentially large sums of purchased gold, but you’ll keep logging in.

Lol kay.

As if the forums werent just as whiny back in the day.

well enough people are using GDKPs that blizzard noticed.

if GDKP was so unpopular, then it wouldn’t even be an issue and blizzard never would have seen it.

so obviously, the GDKP ban shows that GDKPs were immensely popular.

It’s the WORLD that has gone crazy.

To be fair I was tanking in retail the other day to get Timewalking quest done.

I have tanked these Cata dungeons 100’s of times from when they were live to when they became TW.

Some noob was going the wrong way, aggroing mobs that were easily skippable.

I let out a couple of “noobs” and “WTFs” and a guy said, hey, thats my wife, she just started playing, sorry.

I said YOU DONT APPOLOGIZE. I apologized and I let her know I was sorry for being a D!k.

I slowed down and made sure she was accounted for and not trailing behind.

TLDR: Not everyone is a PRO. This game isn’t that serious. Calm down and be fair.

No, nor would you as I have some consideration for people I play with. However, if you have stated loot rules and bring someone through your raid without kicking them, and then not give them loot they win a roll for under those rules, you run the risk of being reported for ninja looting. The other advantage to saying it in advance is that people looking for a carry are more likely to leave on their own or otherwise avoid your group.
