False, the GM is stating the looting rules of the server they have to adhere to in every "player dispute scenario" as they explained (For example, not telling the healer at the start of the dungeon that they should not need on a 2h strength sword over the dps players if it ever drops)Defiant wrote: Sat Aug 29, 2026 7:18 am
As multiple people have already stated, the GM is responding to your specific scenario.
At this point after so many replies, like 90% are completely focused on the pants despite being completely irrelevant to what the GM explicitly explained about ninja looting as a general server rule, and the other 10% either agree with the gm proclaiming ninja looting as part of the "classic experience" or are gaslighting themselves into thinking the same server looting rules explained by the GM wouldn't apply in a more "extreme" case of ninja looting, like the example I just gave, which doesn't even make sense.
Nobody has been able to disprove anything because, at the end of the day, it's their word against the objective looting rules given by the GM. People with common sense will be able to understand why this approach to moderation is bad the moment they read the GM's response in the screenshots, or they'll change their opinion the moment one of those "extreme ninjaloot" cases happens and the GM gives them exactly the same response the OP received. There's no point in continuing to discuss this topic.
