I personally find that an iway fame farmer is worst than an ebay gold farmer.

That would probably be the BEST update ANET could do, or, better yet, if the item dropped for you, it is automatically placed in your inventory, until your inventory is full. No more ripoffs when farming in fow/uw. The player could then have the option of dropping the item(s) if he/she didnt want it. There wouldnt be a worry about being rezzed, or having something really valuable drop for you after you've died, with no chance of recovering it.
Also, it would keep some PUG members a little more honest, and easier to manage. You won't have to worry about getting scammed by a PUG member, because the items arent left there.
I was in a PUG in fow 2 days ago, and we were doing great. I had missed a shard that dropped for me. A PUG member had picked it up, and when we had a break in the action, he gave it to me (I had totally missed the drop). I thanked him numerous times for his honestly (we all know how badly we want those shards..lol). It's too bad a lot of PUG members don't have that type of integrity...

Well thats mean, but it was bound to happen. If he hadn't picked them all up someone would have got one that was origionally assigned to them anyway. Its just a shame there's nothing you can do.

Greedy Gus · Apr 07, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

Wow I hope your learned your lesson. The entire reason you do tombs runs is for greens. When you kill the bosses, grab your drop.

floplag · Apr 07, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

let me get this straight.. some of you are telling this guys its HIS fault for not rushing out to get his stuff in the middle of a fight... youd be the same hypocrit that would give him grief if he did that for leaving you to fight it out alone

shouldnt happen, ever.

yes, its a game.. but thats not an excuse to throw out whatever measure of class you may have, grow up

Greedy Gus · Apr 07, 2006, 03:52 PM // 15:52

The fight was over when the greens dropped.

First of all, it's poor form to not save the darknesses till last so you can focus your attention on them. Second, the game mechanic should be known by the time you're in an end-game, high end PvE area: saved drops do not last forever, they expire and then anyone can pick them up. If you sit and gab about the drops before you even pick them up, it's your fault when someone else picks them up later.

items were assigned. and the assignment expired but we still knew who's oughta get what (bless the gw logs) and out of a sudden, that one guy rushed to get all the drops (coz we weren't able to pick drops promptly coz we were having difficulties on the mobs.), refused to give them back and you are telling its the fault of those who didnt pick their drops promptly? lol. its like saying "its not the fault of the bank robber but the fault of the bank because the bank didnt have 1232 guards."

they were left unpicked for a reason and that is not not wanting them. someone took advantage of item assignment expiration. and i think it should be fixed so things like this wont happen again.

Some time ago I posted a thread with a poll asking if unassigned drops were fair game to pick up and while many said it depends on whether the group was fighting etc, the result was 50/50.

So... whenever your drop gets unassigned you will have 50% chances that the player will pick it up and not care and 50% chance of another played picking it up and giving it to you later.

Greedy Gus · Apr 07, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Personally, I like the mechanic. It makes items go unwasted if someone doesn't pick them up and someone else wants them. And yes, it was your fault for not picking them up. I still don't understand why you left the items "unpicked for a reason" yet still feel that they "belong" to you once the assignment expires. If you want to play with people who abide by your made-up rules (only picking up what the logs say dropped for you), then play with guildies. But don't be a scrub and complain that someone didn't abide by your rules.

The mechanic might be at fault here if the assignments only lasted for a few seconds, but that is simply not the case. They are plenty long enough for anyone to finish what they're doing and still grab their stuff, while not being so inordinately long that no one can grab items that were left unwanted by others.

coz maybe if we rushed and picked we wont be able to and well zone to Tombs waiting area.

imagine this. you were still inside the instance. you have the chance to be ressed and your party mate took the item that belonged to you because the assignment expired. say Victo's Bulwark. wont you get pissed?

i wont get pissed if i got error 7/dced from that instance.

there will be a high chance that the team will zone to the tombs area if we rushed to take the green drops. there are still mobs roaming near the drops.

/time spent: 2 minute or so.

using one's faulty grammar as a counter argument is worse than iway fame farming

Greedy Gus · Apr 07, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

I already mentioned that it's poor form to go straight for the bosses without taking out the roaming mobs first; you're lucky you didn't all wipe. Anyway, I fail to see how aggroing too many enemies and killing the bosses first is anyone's fault but your group's.

If you're going to kill the bosses first, it should go without saying that, if you manage to kill them, you should grab the drops and consider yourself lucky, rather than turning to fight the other enemies for a minute with the greens sitting on the ground in front of you. Again, in an end-game situation, you should have a full grasp on the game mechanics.

It was hardly a counter argument. I couldn't understand what you meant, and was reminding you of the rules.

That was exactly what I was thinking... if you go straight for the bosses right away for some reason, you're going to have to ninja loot your drops regardless of what else is going on. Plus, with a MM and orders on a B/P team (from the way it looks in the picture), you could of easily taken out things around the bosses first.

lol...PWNT!

Way off topic now:
My stance on fame farming is this: Maybe if people weren't emote-discriminating turds in America, people wouldn't be compelled to hand Europe favor every day in exchange for a few measily fame points. If you don't have r3 at LEAST, you can't do anything. So how do you get it if you're never given a chance? Keep in mind not everyone is connected enough to find a high ranking guild (or even a half-way skilled guild) to do HA with. America DESERVES IWAY.

2nd EDIT:

that happened while I was posting the first edit

I was thinking about that recently. I believe GW's EULA clearly states in there that all names, characters, etc submitted to the game become the property of ArenaNet/NCSoft. I could be wrong, though. When I get home I'll check it out again. If this is the case, then you'd really only need ANet's consent to use it and not the player's consent.

yeah the group had faults in dealing with the mobs but it was all under control.

if the assignment didnt expire (that soon), there will be no pissed people and that guy wont even think about taking them greens.

Silent Kitty · Apr 07, 2006, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Very few people know that it's bad strategy/form to grab items, while your mates are dead or still fighting.
This game is either going down the drain fast, or there must be a meeting of greedy people in this thread.

I expressed myself very mild in my former sentence.
