Loot Stealing

[*poststructuralism]

Mathios (postructuralism) just ran past my group twice in the abyss invisible (am warlock with see invis. OOPS!) on clueless so there would not be any spotter mobs, took the loot, then left.

The mobs were bugged for a good 10 minutes.

And no loot.


Thanks. *tips hat*

It's lovely of you to blame your problem on me, but I have just as much a right to be in the abyss as you do. I didn't do anything wrong and I resent multiple people in your group flaming me simultaneously. You don't have a monopoly on game areas. My character is level appropriate for the area and can go where he pleases no matter how entitled you feel to have exclusive rights to an area.

There's plenty of game/server/loot for everyone. I didn't loot anything in sight of any of your party members. Here's a thought, pick up your loot before moving on to the next area if you don't want someone else to get it. Handle your IC conflicts IC instead of whining and making accusations. GROW UP.

Take it to the DMs in private. Public forum isn't a place for this.

I'm also witness to the event phantom mentioned. I was going to post here about the details but I figure this is better handled by the DMs and I'd ask that other members of our group refrain from using this thread to report him, and do so via the proper channels.

I bet there could be low level abyss areas too. You know many demons are like around cr 5 or 10 aren't they? I know the ones we have here are custom "more powerful than asmodeus" demons but weaker demons are fine too. Maybe something more like the mid level range baator areas. =)

There's 666 levels of the Abyss. :P Some of them have got to be ok for Planeswalkers who aren't uber-geared & high level.

Here's another brilliant idea, if you see someone who is on their own, why not consider inviting them to your party instead of seeing them as a big threat to your character's economic livelihood and pouting and griefing them?

This topic is not for pointing people out. You have an issue message the dm team.

It is hard to realize in time that an invitation is appropriate, considering the loot is gone, the spawns are bugged and the invisible culprit is already well on his way. In a party situation, going over every bag with a question: "did you take this or was it the invisible guy?", is not an option really.

About the other issue. There is no IC way. It was denied in this very thread.

I would very much like to know how to deal with situations like this in the future (and considering the trend... I get the feeling like it's going to continue). From what I gathered from, again, this very thread, an ooc action is required (asking nicely to stop or for pvp). If that is denied, or worse, returned with threats of the "stop talking to me or get reported" type, then it's hard to progress really... I'd love to have the proper way of keeping both parties happy in this.

My advice would be, for anyone experiencing someone snagging loot, is to first try it IC (sincerely, that helps at times)

No interaction from the other? Send a tell with ooc question if they kindly would leave the loot alone since you fought for it.

If this also does not help, try not to engage in rage. Take screenshots and notify a DM. Feel free to PM me for these things.

Another tip, sincere at that, pick up loot after each kill. This is the best way to prevent forest fires. -Taps his smokey the bear hat-

Only 666, what happened to infinite layers? Did it get "balanced" too because the devils were complaining the demons had too many? :lol:
