Hi !
I browse this topic frequently as I'm strongly opposed against ninjaing.
I was kinda surprised and annoyed to see this in the front page :

Be Cautious.
I am the Mortarion dude, and Scyll is a IRL friend.
Here is the post accusing us :

Anyway Scyll was NRing on BoE items in instance and I noticed one spamming in World to sell them. I asked him to equip and he said he no, that they were twink items worth bazillions of gold. Even after explaining that we can all sell them, NR means you're going to use, players still would not equip gear. Screenshot-ed is only conversation left after I had ported to Org.
Mortarion wasn't ninjaing loot, he just was aggressively defending his IRL friend's right to do so. said something about being "IRL friends" with the guy (same guild) and that because they were friends he's allowed to do it...

The topic explicitly ask for "
screenshot evidence of the previously discussed loot rules" and I have to say that this part is missing.
Here is a screenshot of the drop (Shadowfang is not something you see everyday) :
You can see I said
"Everyone need" because I thought that everyone know this weapon legend's and the tons of gold you can get selling it.
Things went very fast and some insta greeded / passed when they saw the sword icon.
I was on Skype with Scyll and decided to not roll on the weapon.
Scyll then said on /world "WTS Shadowfang" for fun just to see people reactions, and got plenty of wisps.
Then (far after the instance) he decided to give it to me as I have introduced him to Vanilla
At this moment we were not sure of what to do with this weapon because well, it's a f*ckin' Shadowfang !
Equip it for 5 levels or sell it for hundreds of gold ?
We assumed things were ok because I asked everyone to roll need.
Apparently it isn't, and I don't want to get anymore troubles.
I still have the weapon and
I am ready to roll again this weapon with every party member.The names are on my screen : be sure I will screen the rand when it will happen.
I will contact them soon to ask if they want to roll and will screen every discussion.
