Trust is the only way, after lvl 35 ( I think its 35) this gets easier no
more book to stare at.

How do you know how much coin the other people loot though? Bc some people
can just loot stuff while you're medding and you'll never know that they
took all the coin off of it.

So I run into the same problem of not being near the corpse when it dies and
the group you're with is FFA. I really don't mind free for all loot,
provided that everyone understands no one needs to get greedy. By the sound
of it, you were hunting in Highkeep, a personal favorite of mine. Most
groups that are not ffa usually go alphabetically and you keep looting until
you get a total of 2pp, a bronze or FS weapon or armor, or some combination
of ore (down in the warrior and raider rooms).

completely depends on the people you're grouped with. Some people can do the
ffa loot and no one ever loots too much and it works smoothly. And in the
alpha loot, as long as everyone's honest, that works well too.
