When is Raid Rolling Complete?

When do you consider a roll on an item completed? I was always under assumption, once the Raid Lead hands out the loot that was rolled on, it’s officially completed. No further rolling.

Scenario. Last night during BWL guild raid, I won much needed T2 gear off Broodlord Lashlayer. Gear distributed, and just left it in my inventory. We clear the next 3 dragons, and right before Chromaggus the raid leader messages, and says that the other Shaman “missed” the roll on the gear I had won. So we had to re-roll, which he won. Now I have to trade away my gear.

Sounds like a guild issue.

When I would host raids, the moment I called last chance, you had 5 seconds to roll or forever hold your peace.

That is 100% against the rules of looting. You cannot have the winner “reroll” because someone else “missed the roll”.

Report him and move on.

Umm, what?

This isn’t at all against tos in any way. By no means did he have to let the pieces go to the other player, but it was nice that he did it willingly.

Honestly, I might’ve done the same thing if it were my guild. But if this were a pug, I wouldnt have given it back. They missed their chance to roll. If they had been paying attention maybe they wouldnt have missed it.

Sorry that happened. Theres always next week

That’s stupid. If they don’t roll before distribution it’s their fault. Equip the gear and they can’t have it.

I wouldn’t have given up gear i won fair and square. That’s a guild id have left the second they made me reroll.

It’s Ninja Looting. You report it to the realm’s Ninja Looter list.

The fact that it happened between guild members doesn’t really change that frankly.

I mean hell, nobody wants to get involved with someone else’s guild drama. But, I wouldn’t stay in a guild with a raid leader who pulls that kind of move.

Thats ridiculous rofl. There are no “rules of looting.” Its handled on a case by case basis and as such by frivolously reporting you’re not only wasting your time (of questionable value) you’re taking time away from a rep who could be looking at an actual issue.

What are you even talking about right now???

If you don’t agree with how your guild runs things speak up, get over it, or move on.

Telling someone else to give up loot that they won fair and square is 100% Ninja Looting.

There is no ToS issue. Blizzard doesn’t handle Ninja Looting afaik.

I don’t know how to make this any clearer.

I’ve been distracted several times and missed the roll on huge upgrades during phase 1 and 2. I knew it was my fault for not paying attention and missing the roll. ESPECIALLY as that’s the whole freaking reason everyone is there, to get loot. To not pay attention to the whole point of raiding is the fault of the person missing the roll.

All 3 times I did that I sucked it up and didn’t say anything. Although I’m equally sure that the raid leaders would have also said tough luck, pay attention next time had I tried to cry to them about it. At the same time, had someone in my guild really needed it and missed the roll, and I was asked nicely to re-roll I might consider it depending on who the person was that missed the roll and how big of an upgrade it was for them. But for a pug? Go pound sand.

What are you even talking about? Even IF they had looted it to the other guy, still a guild run and guild rules. BUT THATS NOT EVEN WHAT HAPPENED.

How is it ninja-looting if they didn’t loot it. If he voluntarily decides to give up the gear, thats on him. Seems pretty clear-cut

Ordering someone to give up loot that they won fair and square is Ninja Looting.

What do you need to understand this?

This wasn’t Loot Council. This was open roll.

Imagine the guy who received the loot was a “good friend” of the raid leader.

Use your imagination. This is straight up Ninja Looting.

That’s 100% not “ninja-looting” by any definition of anyone, anywhere but you.

From now on, I’m gonna call heal-sniping ninja-looting because nothing means anything and we can make up definitions as we go apparently.

Imagine someone tells you to give up money that you won at a casino for no reason and you feel like you are forced to oblige.

That’s called stealing. You go to prison for this. Because it straight up illegal.

Does that do anything for you?

I don’t think it’s again the TOS. I do think it’s a bad call and I wouldn’t be happy with their decision. I can see 30 seconds or even a minute, but to wait from Broodlord to Chromag? That’s pretty dumb.

If you win an item, equip it.

That one was on you.

Here’s an entire page of google results. Find me one that defines “ninja-looting” as “asking a player to give up an item to someone else who rolled late.”

I’ll wait.

What exactly is complicated about this to you?

Its literally not. Its 100% literally not and you 100% literally can’t.

Try again.

You’ve clearly never gambled in your life AND you don’t understand even the basics of how contract law works… so maybe pick a different analogy.

No, it literally is stealing.

Trying to manipulate or coerce someone to do something against their will is illegal, and trying to do this in such a way where you take their money against their will, is stealing.

That’s how it works.

This is literally why the Ninja Looter list exists. It is specifically to address this kind of thing. This is the point.

I don’t know how you’re not getting this.

If someone leads a raid and tells people to give up loot that they won to other people, that’s Ninja Looting. That is just straight up Ninja Looting. You can call it “coercion” if you want. Nonetheless, that’s still Ninja Looting. You’re just using semantics at that point.

Just equip it right away next time. I always immediately equip stuff I get to soulbind it unless I’m debating trading it.
