Dave192 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 As the Xmas event is all about them loot drops, how many have you been idling beside waiting for the timer only to have someone else turn up and loot it quicker? So far I'm on 5 'stolen' drops. This event certainly brings out the Xmas spirit in some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevLoki Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I don't usually steal them but I like to place a poop in the drop and take the rest. When someone finds it and says something in global I say "thanks for playing hide-a-duke!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danouk Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 What does the loot drops looks like? Is it the green, blue, yellow, purple and red which get better when it's the right time of night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For x-mas spirit's sake you should put a piece of charcoal, unless you believe in "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took them from another dead player's inventory or raided base. Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. on pve to steal a drop is when you see someone waiting as the drop slowly falls and even though they were there first you fly down and take the drop on my server i made sure drop theft was stamped out straight away, tribes got one warning doesn't matter who you are or what tribe you were stealing from, you steal a drop again and i'll see to it you'll be wiped from the map thankfully most of the rest of the server saw things my way and we've only had to run 2 tribes off our server. during this event only one drop was stolen (so far) and that by a tribe who are new, we explained the rules they said sorry life goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt matter of you are standing around sucking on your thumb waiting for it to drop. For me I always thought it was good ettiquette to let the person already waiting on the drop to get it. Just general courtesy if you ask me. If you dont 'steal' 'my' drop I wont 'steal' 'yours'. Kinda of the same thing of running around nicking other peoples eggs, nothing wrong with it especially if the person is offline line but generally frowned upon lol. We all have to get along on a PvE server so its generally a good idea to have a good relationship with the rest of the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungnur Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Depends on your definition of stealing, on my server anyone entering the canyon on Rag is KOS by my tribe and thus believe that anything in the canyon is our property so in that case I've stolen none but outside of the canyon I believe if they get there first it's theirs, if not about 2 dozen boxes have been stolen from inside the canyon.

Volunteer Moderator Jerryn Posted December 27, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 27, 2017 Let's try to keep this one more on topic about Drops/Beacons and what is or is not stealing, or if you have had them stolen from you, or if you like to get there at the last second and are quicker on the draw than others. The whole server justice/society/law/etc side convo has been moved to its own thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave192 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yes i should click quicker but these old-man reflexes just arent up to the task. I feel it is just common courtesy to let someone get the item if they were they first. You need to respect others if you expect to be treated fairly. Despite having items 'stolen' I have not retaliated the same, hopefully karma will give me something nice eventually (fingers crossed for rex saddle bp).
