Heh...that would be one guy I'd never group with again.
and I don't understand the term "ffa"
alpha looting is okay in my opinion...
What I'd like to have happen is that one person with a lot of bags loot
everything and then at the end of the battle he /split p g s c for the rest
of the group
but then that would include a bunch of trust...
and then he calls off everything he'd looted while we were grouped...
then again...you really have to trust someone a bunch....
