Now can't we all just get along?

These are the rules I've been doing missions for as long as I can remember.

Trouble is off-course when loot is all and someone has no itention in sharing a nice item more then 1 people wants equally....

Everyone should read these!

Yeah, bump to this guide!

I agree that if loot is set to alpha, then any rares you get is de facto yours. However, I think if it is a profession specific rare, if the profession is in the team, give it to him.

Hogging a GA disc will get you some mondo credits in the short term, but look at it in the long term:

You pick up a GA4 disc from some random mob in a mission.

MrLuckyInsertNonFixerProfHere: Wow! Didnt expect that...

MrLuckyInsertNonFixerProfHere: Well, it's for fixers only and I'm not a fixer, so I guess the fixer should have it.

MrIncrediblyLuckyFixer: WTF! WOW! w00t! THX THX THX!


Think of the reputation THAT would give you in the general populace! The man/woman who just voluntarily gave up GA4 to a team member.

And if that fixer has even an ounce of honor in him, he will be your personal blitz/HoT/Run Buff/NCU ***** for the rest of eternity.

The rest of the team might protest that it should be rolled, but it would sound really pathetic if the item was given by the looter to the person in the team who could/would use it, rather than sell it on eBay.

My 2 cents, but the guide should definitely be required reading for anyone who teams.

If you team with regulars/guildies you trust, Loot All is how it should be.

If you team with pickup teams, Loot Alpha is probably best.

Although Loot Leader might work if you are teaming with reasonable people, and tell them up front that you guarantee that anything worth over 1 mill on the market will be rolled for no matter what.

Although I gotta admit, I would be very su****ious of an unknown, to me, Team Leader who said that, and might consider dropping the team if I didnt buy the guarantee-for-roll claim.

Very knotty problem, which I easily solve by doing two things:

1) Team mostly with guild and other people I know and trust

2) Don't care about the money that much.


Personally I blitz enough to keep my cash reserve at around 4 mill or so, and thats it. Don't really need more for day to day stuff.
