Ninja Looting is ALLOWED! (with proof) (confirmed by GM)

[Archivist]

Imagine knowing fuck all about USB types, reporting a guy for taking a charger because you think it's the wrong connector for his device, when it's actually the correct one. Management can't be bothered or doesn't have time to teach you USB standards and gives you a generic "no agreed priority" response.
You then spend the rest of the day telling everyone to just take whatever fucking charger they want, regardless of whether they can use it, because management said it's allowed. All the while insisting people need to stop focusing on the misunderstanding of USB types because "that's beside the point."

The pivot of "The pants are irrelevant!" was kinda funny. Primarily because understanding what the pants were and how they contribute to a Paladin as a whole is fairly vital information to have. Even if the OP disagreed.

Hello, players of OctoWow!

Did you know that apparently ninja looting is completely fine?

I was playing Stormwrought Ruins with a party, and [Pants of Forgotten Ages] drops, a healer item.
Our DPS paladin (which was prot spec for some reason) rolls Need and wins it over our healer.

(Our party was full cloth besides the healer, and the one DPS paladin)

So naturally I opened up a ticket to get this issue resolved, and get the healer their pants.
And the answer I received from the GM surprised me, and it will probably surprise you too:

"If no loot rules were established before the run began, this is considered a player dispute and Support cannot intervene"

Naturally, the party disbanded immediately after, because no one wanted to keep playing with a ninja.

So hit Need every time, unless someone says "don't ninja loot" and has a screenshot to back it up, because you are allowed!
(I didn't think I'd need to clarify, but this is FIGURATIVE speech)

Moral of the story: Only play with your guild and or friends

why did the healer NEED on a dps item?

This is my favorite read on here so far. OP is just totally oblivious to how the custom content works here and refuses to learn anything new, resulting in a cyclical argument where dozens of people try to explain the new mechanics to him and he plugs his ears and goes "nananana I can't hear you, but what about this random other thing that means nothing to the situation" haha.

Damn, that's a lot of drama over an item you'll replace in at most a week....
