No ninja in pug group descriptions?

If im playing maps with my Ranger then if I make the game its always LOOT2NAME.

Why, because melee have an inherent advantage when looting, im not standing in the mass of mobs, makes no sense.

Now if im on my templar its a different story since I can stand in the middle of the mess not attack and still be good.

And yes, I watch for kids to specifically ninja, ill pay attention and press Z and insta kick whoever doesnt follow my game rules.

And I rarely have a problem, someone will try to be slick and ninja at the start, once I call them out that pretty much solves it.

I always add good mannered kids or they add me whenever running maps, I like other like minded, courteous players.

Slow people label their parties no ninja, so they can ninja easier when something decent actually drops.

i always make "no ninja" groups. Its less of a rule and more of a courtesy. I also add other descriptors to my party title (level clearing, teamwork) to play with similar players like myself. I usually do find people that play like me and we usually have a good stress free time.

One thing that i do to earn another players trust is let them have a rare drop or currency. Usually after that, they either they return the favor or allow me to grab my gear without hovering(may 1 second extra time). After i get a good group going i simply make the party private.

still, i dont fool myself. I know i must still keep on my toes and that any uniques that drop become fair game.

I always name my public runs "FELLSHRINE NINJA LOOT COMPETITION".

PUBLIC = PUBLIC
everything can happen.

if you dont want to get ninja'd and minimize the randomness of jerks, search for people to start a real group so you can share the loot.

IMO it's only ninjaing if some1 is preventing others from picking up their gear via blocking (standing on the item) and that can only be judged from repeated occurrence. If the timer on loot runs out, it is FFA.

Semantic arguments are kind of pointless. You know what he means by the statement. Stop trying to enforce double-speak.

OH einstein joined.. let me put it in other better simpler words then..

hope that makes it clear

you apparently don't know what semantics means.. ahh to be 14 again..

Generally most no ninja groups I've joined have been very good, with very trustworthy players. People pointing out to others that are way off screen, that a chaos, fusing or whatever dropped when they could have easily taken it and no one would have known. Nice people.

Can't trust the people in ninja parties, so I avoid them like the plague.

Are you going to debate the meaning of semantics? Really? And yes being 14 again would be nice.


Define Semantics - The branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.

Meh, I play in FFA and No Ninja parties. I just respect the soft rules of each one. I must say that it is difficult for me to get upset about "losing" an item that is nothing more than freaken database entry on a server somewhere.

Funny story: an alc orb dropped for me somewhere far away in a docks farm. Another player picked it up and gave it to me via trade. But the party leader thought that person had ninja'd it and kicked the nice player.

Did not even get a proper chance to thank the person.
