I think someone has brought this up before, but I figured I would bring it
up again. Lately when I have been hunting in a group we have been using the
one person loot method. This is where one person turns off autosplit and
loots all the kills, and offers any items found on the body to the group.
Whoever wants the items gets it if it is OK with the group. You can ask for
the item weather you can use it or you think you can get more for it selling
it to PC's rather than selling it to a merchant. Or we can try to sell it in
auction while we are hunting. Usually I have been the one doing the looting
in the groups that I have been in, because I have the level 19 Druid Ring
spells, which are awesome. If no one wants the item, or wants to sell it to
a PC, I hold on to it. When I get overloaded I use one of my ring spells to
take me RIGHT to a merchant. And it just so happens that this merchant is
also a Druid, so I get a little better price when selling items. Then I just
gate back to where my party is and do some more hunting. This sell time
takes about 3 to 4 min, it is awesome. This continues until someone is ready
to leave the group. Once someone needs to leave the group, I do one more
final sell run, then come back and use the /split command to split the
coins. I first try to make change for the PP and the Gold if it is not a
number that can be divided by the number of people in the group. I am not
sure if everyone knows this, but even if you have Autosplit turned on, and
there is six people in your party, if the MOB has 5P 5G 5S 6C, the looter
gets 5P 5G 5S 1C. The other party members get 1C each. The computer will not
make change. That is why the one looter method works so well.

But I have an even better way to do it, this works better if the entire
party are all members of the same guild or are good friends. You plan a
hunting trip, make sure everyone goes to the bank and deposits of all their
coins. (You really do not have to do this, you can take note of what coins
you currently have and then subtract those numbers from the new numbers at
the end of the hunting trip. It is just a whole lot easier if you have zero
from the start.) This way everyone can loot, and can have Autosplit on or
off, makes no difference. When an item is found it is offered to the group,
if no one wants it, it is sold. Then when the party gets overloaded with
"JUNK" they can go sell, or if they have a level 19 or higher Druid in the
party with a Ring spell, give all the junk to him, he gates to go sell and
then gates back to hunt some more! At the end of the hunting trip, or if
someone must leave, everyone gives all their coins, or the coins that they
did not start with to one person and that person makes change where needed
(this is not hard to do if you are in a crowded zone, someone is always
looking to get bigger coins for smaller ones, coin weight adds up). Then
uses the /split command. Everybody wins in either one of these loot plans.
The only problem is finding someone to party with that you can trust. Trust
is earned not given, and I can understand that..... just a few ideas on
looting!
