I voted no, mainly because of all the times someone in the group has warned me that 'you've got a shard left behind' or such....

The only exception would be when a leecher/jerk got a nice drop and it times out, but as far as my experience goes, these types of people never miss any of their valuable drops

Maybe just because they're busy looking at what drops rather than helping people out ^^

I pick up the item regardless. If the person for some reason wasn't able to pick it up themselves, say they were dead, too busy with other stuff or out of reach, I've give it back to them.

Like one time in PvE Tombs, a Battle Axe dropped from the first Darkness and it bugged out and somehow appeared way below ground. Noone could figure out where it was but I had seen something like this before and stepped back to the bridge, hit alt, clicked on it, then walked up to where it dropped and hit space when it timed out. I then passed it over to the person it dropped for.

would have voted, had there been another couple of options...
you need..

3. yes, but only if player xxx is a jerk/freeloader/asshat
4. yes, but only to stop the ninja looter/asshat/protect a fellow guildie/friends drop when they are up to their ass in buggouts
5. no, but if they reply they dont want it, i will
6. no, but i do scavenge on the return trips, when their whites or salvage.

guess its a number 4 and a number 6 mainly for me....
i have never had a realy GOOD drop in a group...i guess the best drop i have ever had was a saphire outside ascalon city when i was niping over to get some salvage stones, and a stone elemental dropped...i was shocked

(thought they only dropped in high level critter areas lol)

since i tend to pay in groups with friends, or friends of a friend...i dont have that problem...
never been to UW or Tombs, so i have yet to experiance the fun of being left for dead while some smacktard waits for my drop to go unasigned...

okay, i was in tombs a few days ago, and an ecto dropped when the party was dying, you know at lvl 2 where the dryders are. so we regrouped and by the time we cleared off, my ecto is free for all to pick up. this guy goes off and picks it up and said he had to go. okay that was sad, but bear with me

so by that time we had 3 rangers, 1 necro, and me left, everyone decided to quit. i tried to zone out also but it was giving me err13=D u guessed it, they rolled the game back and i lost all the tomb stuff =DDD.

well, there you have the Vengence of the Server gods, ange1

the traders just got so sick of the ninja looters, they threw a fit and sold everything at fire sale prices, and they they roled back

and to those peeps that DO the looting....
remember what you do, you get back three times worse.....maybe in game, maybe in real life...

They died its their fault. Some times when i do chest runs i dont rez some one and grab thier item. Got an IDS that way too. Great when people dont bring rez!

Now I dont know if 4k is alot to some people these days but players dying to get the drop and getting another 15% dp does not seem worth it.

Well, just pointing out that if he died that fast again probably wouldn't get more dp. You actually have to live for like a full minute or so before you'll get dp again. But as for the priciple of it that is annoying.

Same;

I have on several occasions picked items up for people and given them back once we are in town. I also make it a habit to calling attention to good drops since some people miss them when there is a lot of action going on.

I have been on the other end of the stick and delibertly not resed until my drop turned so someone else could grab it. I have also have had someone say they were going afk for a minute and would catch up to the group. To find out they were only really waiting for a black dye that I had drop and did not know about turn so they could get it. They only reason I knew it happened was they had the audacity to brag about it after they picked it up.

Moral of the story "watch your drops!"

If the person has left, I'd say it's okay. But if it's become free, the person who it was assigned to has completely ignored it, or otherwise indicated that he doesn't want it, then you MUST call it. If somebody's called the item, then you pick it up, you're scum and should probably be shot.

No... Thats like calling a seat in a crowded bus. Its first come - first serve... Or whoever needs it the most in terms of the bus.

With items, people will only forget things if they

a. Don't care about drops OR
b. Are completely oblivious to everything around them.

I'll pick up stuff if I want it. If I see a gold in front of me that someone has blatantly ignored, sure I'll pick it up.

I've only ever seen 2 gold items unbind that were worth something.

I've never EVER seen someone forget an Ecto or incredibly rare item, but if they do its their own fault.

I've also never been in a single battle long enough to unbind items, aside from THK. Its always in an area that we backtrack to. It happens occasionally in Thirsty I guess... but those aren't really individual battles.

Basically I'll pick em up when I see em. You can say "Oh I'll never play with you!" but I probably won't notice anyway. GG.
