Then a few minutes later, they remind the person to pick it up.

When the time comes and its available for everyone, is it fair game?

Then you look through the Guild Wars messaging system to see who it belonds to.

Oftentimes people are so much more concerned about saving your ass, that they do not pay attantion to drops untill after the battle.

Do they deserve their drops less than you deserve their drops?

Well since you said that Tank 1 died at the beginning and didnt help at all, I would keep it. If he did not do anything at all then it shouldnt have dropped for him any way.

Yogi's Pain · Dec 27, 2005, 06:49 PM // 18:49

We all have the same right for drops. And being the nice person that I am, not only did I congratulate him for his good luck, I reminded him to grab it before he no longer had the opportunity.

Now, bad for him and good for me. If you are too occupied that you don't notice the drop when it first drops, don't notice the 3 comments about it and don't notice it laying on the ground for five minutes then I have no qualms about picking it up. If you can't see that, then how are you seeing when I call a target or something?

And since I'm not the worst person in the game, I would have given it to him if he had noticed. But he didn't and I'm 7k richer for it.

It's yours. You couldn't res them up and it became unreserved, so it's yours.

dawnrain · Dec 27, 2005, 07:37 PM // 19:37

I think you made the right decision in giving it back. I would've given it back as well.

Scourgey · Dec 27, 2005, 07:40 PM // 19:40

I had a very similar situation. I was a mesmer and there were 4 people in our team left (monks had left), after a fight, I was the only one left, against 4 or so ice imps. I managed to solo them, there was an Icy dragon sword belonging to someone else on the floor, after about 5 mins of soloing the imps I managed to get the sword, then I decided trying to solo the next group of about 10 imps.

I gave back the sword when we respawned, not really too bothered, it's only a game and I don't need the money TOO badly

Golden Rule, people, Golden Rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Simple like that.

I thought silence was the golden rule.

Without a "kick" feature, I believe in fulfilling luck of the draw, and giving someone what's theirs, whether they earned it or not. Next time just go solo or with people you know and can trust, and there will be no controversy. When I have to split drops between me, myself, and I, there usually isn't much drama.

ghostlyranger · Dec 28, 2005, 02:48 AM // 02:48

i can really see who is the greedy jerk within this thread,

make one more friend by giving back the swords, make tons of enemy by taking away his sword. ( that tank1 can spam alot of ppl telling them u steal his loot )

u make the decision,

He isnt stealing anything though, tank 1 did nothing to earn the sword. If tank 1 helped in the killing of the enemies then I would give it back, but tank 1 died right at the start without helping. The sword should have dropped for invisa or tank 3. I am a nice person, but I believe that if you do nothing to help, then you do not deserve the drops, (I hate people who join for a mission and then just go afk and take all of the left over drops without doing anything to earn them).

Thats just my two cents, I think that you should do what you want with the sword.

Kassad · Dec 28, 2005, 06:38 AM // 06:38

I wouldnt give him the sword, I wouldnt keep it myself either. Go to LA and sell it.

lol, good idea

It's all a matter of how you want to be as a person. You're obviously a person with a conscience, since you even ask the question and care about other people's opinions.

If you give it back to the guy, you're being a nice and generous person. If you keep it, you're being selfish and cheap.

Remember, this decision will affect all your future decisions in similar situations. And it doesn't matter if "it's just a game". People's behavior follow patterns, online or in real life.

Tank1 did help but in the process he died therefore he was helping. Second no one was healing him, three no one bothered to bring rez.

I would have given him the sword, I’ve had to many people take drops that where mine, thunderhead keep comes to mine when you take out the two mobs before going threw the gate, and we as a group didn’t make to the items before the time ran out, or we all died and had to make a long run back to the area. Guess that’s why I don’t play with pugs anymore.

If you get in PUGs like this that steal your drops, then you are a moron. When something drops for you, pick it up. It really is that easy. I have personally never been in a group that has stolen my drop, 1000 hours of PUGs.

Why can't you grab a drop while fighting? If you can't find a group that will get you through a mission then you are the problem that is causing the failure. PUGs are not great and they never will be but they are successful over half the time. If yours never succeed, then take the common denominater and do the math.

Obviously I didn’t have sprint and the item wasn’t at my feet and I can't fly.
