Hello, is there something to do about ninja looting ? I’ve been scammed by a guild during BFD run.
We joined a guild for a BFD raid on WoW SoD. Seeing we joined a guild raid, my friend Cobia and I (Policeofficr) asked if anything was reserved, they said no. So we proceed to raid.
At final boss (hydra), the quest item for BiS trinket dropped, I won with a 97 roll. They gave it to somebody from the guild. I immediatly said they were wrong, but everybody HS and ignored me, I whisped the guy he said “cool story bro”. I have every screenshots if needed. Guild is “Dior” on server Lone Wolf, alliance side.
We spent 4 hours trying to find a raid with my friend Cobia and when this kind of things happen it’s really awful. They are all mocking us telling that submitting a ticket won’t do anything, but I’m still trying to punish them
In Vanilla that was all you could do, expose them. I mean it’s pretty bad if everyone knows you or your guild ninja loots so that should already do a lot.
It’s part of the social experience.
Unless they wrote the loot rules in chat there’s nothing you can do. If they did write the loot rules down in chat however then this qualifies as a scam and that is an actionable offense. You can report them and get them banned for that.
You can’t name and shame them either, that can and will get you into trouble. So while is very tempting I would strongly advise against this as it is against Blizzard’s ToS. However it is worth noting Blizzard will only act on this if you are doing in publicly, if you join a guild feel free to advise them the sorts of players that guild is made up from, so they know never to bother with anyone in it. That’s how reputation spreads and those guys might feel smug now but there are people who have had to fully change name and server because of how oppresive a bad rep can be.
The only thing you can do right now is to carry this feeling with you, so you are wiser next time to pug in a raid. If you are ever unsure have them write down the loot rules, so if they do violate them you can make an actionable report against them.
It is as Gyzyk said, loot rules stated in raid chat? If not, then it doesn’t qualify as loot scam aka “ninja”.
You may still report it however and a GM can investigate, even if it is a loot scam they may not redistribute the loot.
And finally, I echo the previous advice to remove the guild name as it is not allowed to name and shame on the forums.
From my experience GMs never restore “ninja’d” loot, however they do delete it from the “Ninjas” character if they find any proof for it.
Ignore them name and shame all you like I’ve had mates say similar experiences and it is wrong
One of the reasons blizz added PL
Typical Alliance players really.
As if Horde players don’t do this? haha
“Typical WoW players” would be a better answer…
Majority are a bunch of EGO hypocrites that act like their life depends on it and that the world is ending if they miss out on some pixelated loot…
In this case the ninja guild and the complainer about getting ninja’d proof my point 
Ready to drag their names into dirt for a piece of gear. You’d wonder what these people would behave like in the real world.
My sympathies man. Good luck next time.
Nobody will remember this in about… 40 seconds from now.
- Dont join guild raids.
- All the losers writing “well there were no loot rules” probably scam ppl as often. If nothing was reserved then he should have won it.
Best yoy can do, is go onto the discord and submit it under black list with evidence. Thus atleast others will stop playing wjth em.
But their right, GMs wont ban for this
Bruh classic realms do remember tho. Thejrs blacklisting on every discord
