Reserving items

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Joined a group in UBRS where they had reserverad MH, which doesnt drop, we reset and I found jed for next round. Now the former guy reply to me ”make me leader”. Surprised as I am I give him leader and then quit after first boss, him being pissed of and his guildie called me a couple of nasty things

I mean, fine you can reserve items but make sure people know exactly how things should work out. Probably i didnt get that our pug basically should farm this boss until the rogue gets it lol. And you know, do I think he would join for a reset if that sword even should drop? My cynical point of view is: Absolutely no.

If you expect to really farm a dungeon for a certain item, you cant reserve item for multiple runs. If you expect people to spend that time for you, maybe go with ur friends or guildies.

Well if u farm dungeon for certain item then u farm untill that item drops, u get it, and then finish whole run at least.

I guess u wasnt there for that reserved MH sword right? And i see no problem in that… Party goes to dungeon with something reserved, didnt drop, leader asks " wanna go again?" if all say yes then u go all agsin with same rules i guess… Actualy u leaving after 1st boss looks like Ahole move…, either finish run or dont join at all, and if u need something else frim thst dungeon, why does it matter for you that some1 has reserved item u dont need? U got party to spam at least, if u wanted that sword tho, u are to blame as it was reserved before

People who reserve don’t have friends because they are … you know, scum.

Reserving items has the same outcome to the leader as not inviting people that may need similar items, however reserving allows those classes that may need it to recieve other loot the leader does not. Go play BFA, kid.

Not inviting people just because they want same loot is just as scummy move as reserving.

Healthy balance on group is only right way, of course no retardins as dps etc. non-sense. Everyone needs to do their job and no carries! (And when retpala/balance druid say they dps, it means they want to be carried while they barely are over healer wanding)

I wish I was kid… Maybe I could enjoy fortnite or minecraft.

Nothing wrong with reserving items, just don’t join the group if you’re not a fan of it.

What this person says. In my opinion, “locking” items is just ninjalooting while announcing it, thus I don’t join any runs that state “item XYZ” locked, regardless of whether or not I personally need it.

However, stating

Is quite silly, because well, the loot master can do whatever he / she wants, as long as people are okay with it. And well, if the loot master / leader clearly announced loot rules and you didn’t leave, that says you’re okay with them. Or at least that’s how Blizzard themselves handle these situations.

Let’s use Streamer X as an example. Streamer X is famous, a douche and has way too many fanboys. He organizes an MC viewer raid and says “all loot that I want goes to me”. If you join its group, it’s your fault for putting up with it.

Similar in your case, if a person searches members for “UBRS runs, Dal’rend MH locked” and you join, it’s your fault for putting up with it.

If you join a guild that clearly states “first ZG Tiger locked for the guildmaster”, again, your fault.

So yeah, it’s my personal belief that you should stick around until the end of a run, at least, if you join one. And anything that happens after is irrelevant.

To be fair, I’m also quite unsure what exactly happened that moved you to write this post. Did you loot the MH after the first run and are surprised that the people who said “MH locked” get pissed after you rolling on it? Or did you leave after the first boss, after looting an item you needed and people got pissed for you leaving? Because to be honest, I’m having difficulties understanding exactly what went wrong.

That’s your opinion and that’s fine. As long as loot rules are clearly stated before you start doing the dungeon and everyone knows what they’re getting themselves into, I don’t see it as ninja looting at all.

That’s basically what I said, yes. Thanks for agreeing though. And yeah, I guess calling it “ninjalooting with announcing it” as a simile was too difficult, so I’ll just say:

It’s on the same level of trashy as ninjalooting, but it’s your fault for getting into it, because they’ve announced it. If you support this behavior, it’s your fault for running into people such as that.

The problem in this case was that it is important to state rules before start clearing. He and his friend looked for ppl and MH was reserverad for 1 run, i thought (did not announce farm or res until it ”drops”). In the first round no sword dropped and ppl asked if we maybe wanted to go again, sure I thought. Some people left and some joined. Then we were told looking for jed runewatcher and I found that guy. Then I started new group with ”same” people because the one finding NPC needs to be the leader when they enter dungeon. After that, this guy then asks me to pass leader (so he can be ML) which I did without argueing, to avoid drama. Then I quit after first boss, pissed of and just left and got whispered from the leader and his friend. It was a bad move from me, but people has to be clear on the rules from the beginning. I have learned the importancy of that now, but still think I have my fullest right to leave once I realize the rules. And nope i didnt leave after i got an item either.

So, if i understand correctly. You were in jed/rend run where MH was reserved. You did that run and reset dungeon. You found jed, the last party leader wisps you and asks to get leader so he can make the group. You kill the 1st boss and you leave.

So you dont know why they were talking shiet to you? Let me help you understand. You did not finish the run. It has nothing to do with MH being reserved or some other shiet. You just left because i assume that you got what you needed from 1st boss and left. That is a dick move. Dont call for harassment, but still why did you make this post in the 1st place?

Read the full text please instead of picking the lines you wanna awnser.

Why I did this post? Cuz reservering items sucks. And if u reserve items you have to be really clear what the rules are

Stockholm derby-killa’ som Pa Amat Dibba :muscle:

Then why on earth did you agree to come then? The mainhand was reserved first run. Because the mainhand did not drop, and the leader want to run again, then its obvious that he is reserving it for the second run as well.
The question here is why think the leader wouldabandon his reserve and let you roll when the Mainhand is clearly the reason he’s making the runs in the first place?

The only person being scumbag here is you, leaving mid run after the boss you need loot from does not drop your item.

Like other people have already said. The person making the group can decide on exactly how they choose to run their own groups, its that simple. If you do not like the loot rules then I suggest you just make your own run.
