I LOVE to argue. Where are these idiots when I am playing I would love to
just open up on someone like this. Its times like this I wish I was on a
PvP server b/c I would wait till he was just about 2 bubbles and instead of
healing I would Bomb him and then loot all the PP he should have shared and
taken one of his items. I sure miss UO, anyone here play UO before?

Yeah. Sometimes you group with the only people available though. Like in
Highpass if you need in a group you're stuck with the people camping the
room you want to camp.
I've had mostly good experiences with looting but there are a few people
who've given me trouble. One thing that pissed me off-- I was group leader
and had alpha loot established. My computer crashed. When i logged back in
there was a new group leader. Despite the fact that I had been at the spawn
point first and had established the group, he felt that bc he had reinvited
people that he was now in charge. He said it was FFA -- ninja loot.
When I asked them to allow me to loot just once corpse he told me I could if
I was fast enough. Often while I was busy healing him he'd go loot
something. When it was clear he didn't appreciate my help, I left. I mean, I
need money to buy spells and stuff.
