Prevent Loot from Displaying in General Chat

[Beherit_Baphomar]

If they pull the raid loot, it's too late.

Pull being the general term for loot in a chest, not necessarily used for when an item is removed from the chest.

[lenric]

well, ifthe party agreed ahead of time that anyone who gets raid loot in the chest has to roll on the items, then they should know if he got raid loot from the chest and didnt have people roll on it, thus they knot not to let him in their raids again.

I do not agree with the original poster but I would hate to be in a raid like this. The whole reason I liked the new raid loot system is for no more rolling and losing chances at raid loot, hell if your dice made it so you got raid loot then you deserve to decided what to do with it, if you want it keep it if not then feel free to put it up for a roll.

Learn to run all the raids (except the dragon) with two people like I have. Problem solved.

Very rarely do my lfm's distinguish specific levels or classes. Nor do I put a comment in the description that says, "no idiots allowed". So to answer your question, I group with anyone that joins the lfm.

Or you could vote with your feet and leave a group.

Chances are if you are doing a chain and you find someone is being a nuisance that other people are as well. So start sending tells around that this player is bothering you and leave. Some may follow you.

There have been many times where I have looked at the group composition and just knew that we could do a quest on Elite, and the group majority decided to do it on Normal. However there is that one person that wants to do it on Elite because he has done it on Hard already without much difficulty (mostly because the group that did it on Hard with him were all 2 levels higher than our highest group except for him). So when we get to the portal what does he do? He opens it on Elite. What does the rest of the party do? We tell him we are doing it on Normal and to exit. When he refuses, we all just drop group and reform without the guy.

It is very easy.

This game (and every other game) gives you many choices, this game gives a lot more.

This isn't WoW or another MMO with shared adventure areas, a jilted player can't just vulture your targets (for example, hitting an instant attack when they see you start casting a casting time spell). If you don't like PlayerX, leave group. PlayerX can't follow you into instances. And if they harass you, /squelch add PlayerX.

The only possible benefit hiding your loot would do is allow someone to effectively lie about their item income for the purposes of being able to beg other players for stuff.

That I am against.

Your problem seems to be more a case of Alpha Gamer-itis than a fault with the game. You can't PK a person that bugs you, so you (but your own admission) antagonize that person instead to get them to squelch you.

As to your server of residence, I am glad you are on Sarlona because I'm not. I am happy on my server and with my 5 characters on it.

Good to know.

I see you gave up on the idea already of joining my server and adding me to you "do not group with" list. **** shame, I was looking foward to it.

I would not like to see any dev time spent on this concern. I personally do not mind being asked about loot, it's a social game, I'm a social person and it's just part of the game. Most of the time I ENJOY discussing loot and being asked about items and being generous about giving away items. Call me a gullible, but it's fun helping others better their characters.

[Hvymetal]

Seriously, how often does this happen to you? I've had maybe one or two people bug me for stuff since headstart, doesn't really seem to be that prolific of a problem that it needs to be "fixed". They actually have a fix, /squelch , don't want to use it I don't know what to tell you.

[Arlith]

Please don't do that. I like seeing what others pull

So do I! I get to aks them "Ar you gonna use that?"

(Note, outside of painfully obvious jesting I have NEVER actually said that)

[Spell]

If you are constantly grouping with a "chest-sponge" just beat him to the punch and ask for everything he pulls out out of the chest. If he wants something, ask what he'll give for it.

[cdbd3rd]

As for moving over...it was a great idea but I stopped doing it... half the time you move things a second after they turn away and the stuff gets left behind. I generally just make a mental note if I want to give soemthing away and trade it at the next chest when we are all stopped anyway.

Seconded. Unless I'm with a close guildie who I know will come back for the stuff when I tell them about it, I grab it all. Next buffing pause I try to offload the gear to the people who can use it.

On the thread topic, IMO, I enjoy watching what folks pull to enjoy the pull - cuz I sure don't pull the goodies myself.
Hiding pulls is further away from the spirit of D&D. (At least the good aligned part of the game....)

[Tenkari_Rozahas]

My bard pulled a +1 Str Tome out of the white dragon chest.... I like that people could see if i pulled something like that <.< it was my second tome pull ever.

[XFracture]

Just grow a sack and learn to tell people no.

Jebus, people need to grow the funk up. How the hell do you manage real life situations when you have trouble telling someone "no", over a third party chatting medium?!?

[Frodo_Lives]

I have very rarely run into this problem, only once or twice did I group with a person who kept asking if he could have this or that. It is annoying, and thankfully rare.

I simply told him that I'd sell it or trade it to him and if he pulls anything I could use than maybe we could make a deal. The other time I ran into this I was a little more straightforward and told him to bugger off. After all I was running on my cleric and going through a few wands and I had to support my wand habit somehow.

I have also had people in the harbor just come up and send me a tell for wands or plat. Great, pan handlers in Stormreach.

That being said I usually let everyone know that if I pull anything that they can use let me know. But that is generally for level 6 - 8 loot, so far very few people have even asked for anything I've pulled. Much less asked when I haven't even offered.
