Curse

OK, I just did an IDS run with 3 other warriors. 2 of the other warriors were trying to use a build that they had never used before (Will call them Tank1 and Tank2). The other was a competent warrior and was apparently at least using a build he knew (Tank3).
We start of by running all the way to the cave. Tank1 dies once along the way (at the giants). No biggie, happens to even the best warriors.
We get in the cave and I use my bow to pull a small group of Imps away from the large group. I call the target once they get a ways away from the herd and we all run in. Things were going fine till all of the sudden EVERYTHING gets aggroed. We all die. Back at the spawn point I asked who aggroed and Tank1 says it was him. Once again, not that big of deal. You can't exactly move very fast to run away when you are frozen in place.
We get back to the cave and Tank1 and Tank2 die almost immediately. Neither Tank3 or myself brought a rez. But since we were right in the middle of a big group we kept fighting. During the fight an IDS drops for Tank1. By the time the fighting was over it was no longer assigned to him, so I picked it up.
Now I'm not sure if I should give it to him or not. As I said he was absolutely NO help whatsoever during the entire trip. If he and Tank2 hadn't been there then the drop would have either went to Tank3 or myself anyway.
Anyway, my question is this: What should I do? Should I give it back, or keep it and just be happy? Thanks for your thoughts.

Give it to him, its his drop regardless of whether you think he helped or not. He was in the group, He gets his cut.

Ask Tank 3 what he thinks, if he doesn't give you an opinion then keep the sword and put Tank 1 on ignore list.

who cares hes a stranger, keep it he would keep it if the roles were reversed.

If it was actually a good sword, you should've kept it. But since it's totally useless, give it to him.

To be honest I would just give it back. It was his drop and he should have it. If he was a real asshole to you though I'd keep it for myself. But looks to me he was just a newbie who didn't know what to do, and just wanted an IDS. At least he tried and you never said he pissed you off or ruined the entire run. So I would just give it back, it's just fair.

well just my two cents

I say keep it, it he wasn't so busy aggroing everything in sight and can't pay attention to his drops he deserves it. I have been in groups where members died and everyone called their drops based on the conversation menu, because we were paying attention.

I agree with most here: if he wasn't being a real jerk, give it to him. This is equivalent (although on a much lesser scale) to someone getting an Ecto drop in the underworld, who died defeating monsters so you could live, and you not rezzing him/her until the drop was yours.

Naturally, your actions are far less insidious, but same reaction.

The trump card: if he was being a jerk, tell him off and keep it. It never pays to be nice to a jerk, that gives them the idea that acting that way is OK.

I think I will give it back. Just because he wasn't rude even when I didn't give it to him. Thanks for everyone's opinions.

Neither you should give the sword to me

AxeMe · Dec 27, 2005, 02:49 AM // 02:49

No question at all here -- it's his sword.

Irrelevant. If the OP died instead of the tank it'd become HIS sword. If it were indeed "his sword" then why didn't he pick it up? He died, why did he die?

chris_nin00 · Dec 27, 2005, 03:42 AM // 03:42

Keep the Precious...
Or be a good boy and give it back to him.

If I were you and you were I, then I would give it back to him and you would say you would give it back to him too because you were I and I were you.

Just give it back to him

Victory Gaint · Dec 27, 2005, 03:44 AM // 03:44

Keep it. Unless he's a good friend of yours, just keep the frickin thing.
