Everything that is not picked up within 12 milliseconds after the mobs death, is my property by my own law. groups now have priority over idiots.
You can kill me, but you cannot get your loot back :) I know. But I could always kill you again ?
Practical Kitten Hating dog
You see, kat, that's what the trap is all about. You have to tempt the fish to bite. The idea is to place yourself in a "passing" area. This way you get a current flow of targets (Like a cop hanging at a strategic position with a radar...).
You may make a few adena out of running away with a bank robbery, but soon enough, lots of peeps will be after you (and I'm not talking about the police).
Yes any loot that is not picked up by any person other than Dark belongs to Dark so please stay away from his loot. He can be very persuasive about his loot and has many field agents about him.
That alone means, that roughly 95% of the whole playerbase can easily kill me, if they decide, that they want to.
Of those crowd, there is a significant lot, that do not need any kind of reason to kill a cute dwarf.
If you want to go red, cause I "stole your loot", which you are to lazy to pick up, then by all means do so.
If you need such a silly "trap" to justify your behaviour, then you can as well just go ahead and kill me right away, even if I am just running past.
If you would feel bad, you could always tell yourself, that I did pickup some of the loot or that I just wanted to pickup some, so you needed to kill me first to protect "your" loot.
You see, my only tolerable dog I know, that I do not loose anything, if I pickup your bait.

Oh Kitty Kat ! (and I am talking about the "morph" Kitten), your post was heartbreaking, and it's part of why I love you.
But listen to the quote. You were here fast, but how fast did this guy pickup on on a message ?
If you are too lazy to pick up the loot and leave it lieing around thats called litter. Being a law abiding citizen and concerned about the environment I am doing the only honorable thing by cleaning up after you.

Yeah, like tell that to the wizards about the litter, and tell that to the Orc about cleaning up after yourself...
Look buddy, the law is pretty simple. You lay a hand on my adena, you will be killed.
I pickup anything not nailed down.
Anything I can pry up is not nailed down.
Either pickup your 923 or I will do it for you.
Worst case of laziness ever? A MELEE character who doesn't pickup their kills. Archers and Mages are bad enough...but a MELEE?!?!?! 923!
Everytime I see 923 like this I feel the growing need to make a L1 character, never level or equip it...but run around Ninja looting all the lazy 923'ers who don't pickup.
lol no prob, I like picking up after people too lazy to do it themselves.
Well, so do I. But somehow, I enjoy people who are polite.
I am skillfull theif. Almost like a politician... I am also the crook. I have seen more gore than a politician could handle.
"Oh, Hello, I am a theif, can I steal all this loot you left behind ?" Is a line I often use. Picking up loot is like picking up girls, you have to be at the right moment at the right time.
I confess to picking up LOTS of loot in L2. I would have this macro called "Yoink !" and guess what it said ?
Well, so do I. But somehow, I enjoy people who are polite.
Hmmm.
So is it ok, if I first pickup the free loot and then curtsey to you and say "Thank you, verdammtes Spitzohr !" ? (The last two words are a german *cough* blessing *cough* of the Elven Race.)
Allow me to communicate this in all means of sincerity as I can.
PICK UP YOUR GOD****ED LOOT!
If you're too lazy to pick your own crap, why have the motivation to start something with someone not lazy enough to disregard it. The only thing you accomplish is being both remarkably stupid and a social inconvenience.
Makes me want to go to the AC, pick up the loot and then scorch your butt with a hurricane ^ ^ I don't mind going red.
Girl, you know it's exactly what I was expecting of you. You look great. But imagine what happens after ?
Hmmm.

Lying Kitten
It's all about how you present yourself. You wouldn't get away with some mechanical tactics, but some some german charm is always nice.
When you are ready to take down a too **** near 70 Dwarf, please, give me a holler. Till then, start hammering pickup if you see me coming, gold on ground is gold in my pocket, the same as Gear on Bot is gear Im taking. And yes, in my crusade to take all the gear I can from them, you will see me anywhere you find them. Send out the Canto signal, and I'll hop on the Cantomobile and be there lickety split if I can.

First: loot that lays around cause of lazy peeps doesn't pic it up is free for everyone.
The only benefit of nukers are that they are almost to bussy with killing mobs fast as hell than to pic up their loot... $$+++++
I didn't read anything in the EULA that it's forbidden to pic up stuff that lays around and depends to nobeody after the 5sec pic up block.
I only can laugh about that topic, tell me where you lvl and where I can pic up the loot. My lvl 1 char will love to be killed by you and to see how your karma grows and grows... what a kid :)
Whats wrong with you people? The other day i was running back to my spot when i saw a huge field of adena as far as the eye can see. Being the greedy bastard i am i ran over and started picking it up. The guy that "owned" it and his friend pk'd me a few times for taking "their" adena. They didn't want it bad enough to pick it up and IMO anything thats left lying on the floor is unowned. If people taking your loot is such a problem why don't you just pick it up in the first place? It's not like they can take it out of your inventory.
Yeah, like tell that to the wizards about the litter, and tell that to the Orc about cleaning up after yourself...
okay really. orcs are not ditry little litterbugs, neither are dwarfs, reason being that these are the two races without Real nukers/archers. the ONLY classes that litter are ranged. so if you want to complain that it "wastes too much time" to go and pickup your loot, ill just tell you to reroll a melee, so you can level faster AND get to the loot before i do :p

Hmmmmm, maybe there is nothing in the EULA about this, but there is good reason for it. The EULA is NCSoft's law. I create my own by-laws and enforce them as I please.
If you don't like it, just get out of my sector.
I published a SS of my hunting area. I will be in that sector for a few days.
So you see, Jute, what I was telling you about people being intrigued by rudeness. Notice how most people claim they will break the law at the first occasion...
Hello Dark.
A few points:
1) Forget it. I see something on the ground and u havent picked it up, then its mine. No matter what u think u are (police or whatever u want to call it).
2) U want to kill me for that? Try. U may succeed. Or not.
3) I hate people like you. Who do u think u are? Get off your lazy bottom and start picking up what u have left on the ground if u want it. Or else dont even think of starting a thread like this.
Adena left on the ground becomes the property of Aden?
I'm a nuker, and I always pick up my drops. Anyone that doesnt is just plain lazy.
First, purely technical reasons you should pick up drops:
1. All that stuff on the ground are just extra polys, textures, and heaven-forbid shaders. Maybe you have a good computer and can handle a few hundred piles of adena. Others can't. And it's not just rendering, it's the lag you get from the server having to tell you where ever single pile of adena is.
2. Connections are never going to be perfectly stable. Between you, your ISP, and NCSoft, there are plenty of places where the link can be broken. You disconnect, and moneys = mines. =) Leaving it on the ground past the safety-pickup period is, meh, fine whatever, the money is still yours. leave it for 5 minutes, and its questionable. Leave it for half an hour, and suffer a full disconnect and I think youve pretty much lost dibs to it.
3. Have fun with server crashes. Half Mil down the tube because of a crash? Shoulda picked it up.
Then you have the player factor. Maybe you want to leave a hill of shiney hillsides around to bait people into picking it up, just so you can threaten them with PK. Or, maybe they will just PK you right off the bat, and pick up your drops while you sit there and watch. Also, if your going to leave drops around, you should at least keep it in a confined area. It always bugs me when people leave a MASSIVE area littered with adena...and you look around and theres not a person to be seen. Their off over a hill or something! So your like "heh, free money, yay!" Then they FINNALLY see you like 5 minutes later and threaten you. If you leave it on the ground and you go out of sight range of it...then thats just asking for trouble.

Buahahahahaha. Learn to read. No, I dont mean read the words, I mean read the message. ;)
One thing that's good about beeing a field person, is that you know the folks that roam around (*winks at Ashamon*).
Upon beeing pulled over by one of our representatives, please make sure to be cooperative, for your own safety.
Have Fun !

Plz tell me you are on bartz!!! Oh god plz tell me you are I need some one to pk when i am bored i need some clan to war/pk when nothing better to do !!! If you are on bartz need reall in game name. Just did sin eater quest on ever one of my 66+ charaters so there 30pkers with your name on them!
Have fun ( thourghts kittens in bag thourghts bag in pound )
thats an impresive loot you found there... Good for you..
I nver actually got so lucky as finding such a loot myself, im just not lucky enuff it seems :(
That's why pickup goes on a hotbar and I can press down with one finger, enjoy a sammich, and watch my coffers fill.
Anyone doing that more than deserves to be ninja-looted.
do you cdl? no
Picking up loot while cdling is suicide as any mob can 1 shot you. Picking up a cdling nukers loot is also suicide, as he can 1 shot you. Stay out of my adena fields or you will be pked. ty

Cheers!!
thats in elf noob town though, maybe, maybe 100k if you pick it all up.
and since I keep all my toons on same server, money is not a problem, probably would skip on that 100k if it got my toon leveled significantly faster. Money can be made afk by playing the market extremely well for me now that I have put in the work farming, etc to get the base funds.

Ty for that info. Next time PK CDLing mage first, pick up loot, then run like hell.

o_O I CDL all the time and still pick up the loot as it drops...Adena doesnt drop until the mob is dead anyways so I dont see the danger...shoot it, pick up adena. If anything is next to the adena, shoot them and then pick it up. Not difficult.
Gotta agree here, if you're too lazy to pick up you're loot you obviously don't need it that much, once the timer runs out it's up for grabs. Leaving hundreds of piles of adena around creates lag, too.

Feel free to eroll on Sieghardt anytime you feel frisky. Since I'm such a carebear and you're such a pvp god I'm sure we could have lots of fun together.
If the person wnot picking up the drops that no longer belong to them once the drop timer is off, decides to pk me, by all means do so, It just lets me have a chance of getting gear. ;]
It is only misspelled if you read it, otherwise it is fine. Plus my spelling is better <grins>
Hmmmm, perhaps. but it's already too late if you try. "Once you read it, you can't unread it." (PornMeister)
Friday night, time for some criminal activity, w00t !
Come steal my loot, you all are so big mouthed about stealing it without a second thought on the board, yet I haven't seen one of you try to steal from me.
Hahahahahahahahaha, sorry girls, had to go out to try out my car (got a special piece of exhaust yesterday, wich is supposed to make me sound cool). ROFL. I don't know about me, but the strider sound funny.
For quite a while now, in certain areas that I hunt, I have to take a half hour out of my grinding to collect the unclaimed drops that litter the land. I never really understood if it was lazy players just wanting to have a field of gold or if some stupid bot program was flawed. Either way, I claimed all that I could see. Last night I made 50k, previous nights have yielded anywhere from 20k to 100k in gold and mats just sitting there.
If it's there and the player is not around. It's mine. If I see a player nearby who is currently battling, I will give them the benefit of a doubt and leave it for them. Unless they kill a mob right next to them and it drops money and then the player walks away. If I see that, I think bot and it's mine (especially if they have a stupid name).
Didn't your mom ever tell you to clean your mess? Same goes for in game. You don't clean your drops, then I will clean them for you.
Good to see you back on Lionna DM.
I guess if you have a billion adena already and are leveling a character, there's little reason to pick up drops.
There is a "side economy" related to this. You see, if you are clever and know the terrain, you can actually make a lot of adena without lifting a finger.
As people "twink" up some chars, they have no use for 159 adena. It's leveling the char that counts.
What I REALLY enjoy is a 1 adena tip. **** KIDS ! Stop putting graffitis in my area !
not quite true, I probably have somewhere near half a billion(gear+cash) and rising from playing the market, and I still feel compelled to pick up EVERYTHING.
Doctor Mc. Coy always called Mr. Spock a "verdammtes grünblütiges Spitzohr" ;)
"Grünblütig" means "green blooded".
It is a sign of my age that I actually remember watching Star Trek in German, and remembering that made me giggle like a madwoman. <3 for the reference!
thaaaank you! A nuker that picks up his loot is love to me!
The point you gave about it giving endless lag to other players is very valid. Some friends and I were in Forest of the Dead... and I started lagging very badly when prior to that I as going just fine.
Quick investigation showed a large field of adena, drops and silver arrows just over the next hill. No nuker in sight, so we started picking up the things. Clearing the field of drops helped reduce the lag a little, but noticably. Wandering on, we found even MORE fields of gold and loot. Actively annoyed, we continued picking it up then a human mage comes up and asks us to stop picking up her loot. We readily agreed, but asked her to kindly pick up her loot, as it was causing our party lag. She apologized and started clearing her field. We went back to where we had been before and continued our own hunt.
Seriously, several fields of adena, mats and loot. I WILL pick it up unless you tell me to stop, then you had better be ready to go pick things up.
I've partied with nukers and archers. Playing my healer, my dwarf or my bd, I will inevitably get pickup duty. It is from a nuker I learned that it's good manners to pick up after yourself - or find yourself lagspiking and dead because you didn't. Since arrows would weigh him down, he would simply drag them into the 'destroy' bin icon but never to just throw it around to get rid of.
