Hi. I know this is a cliche topic but I want your view on this situation.
Tonight I had a pug Naxx run, where the RL (MT) assigned me to distribute loot. After some hours and pain, killing Kel’thuzad, a weapon dropped that many melee wanted. I did the rolling as usual however gave it to the wrong guy. I told him to trade it with the actual winner, however he then went ahead and equipped it. Understandably, the actual winner was pissed about it. After the long hours, I couldn’t handle any more drama and logged out, without even HSing. However, next time I logged in, a friend of the actual winner of the item, was constantly harrassing me. He was threatening to mass report me with 450+ accounts through “discord-servers”, and get me banned for this simple mistake I made.
I ignored him, but I’m kinda worried about Blizzard’s automated ban system, and that if he actually could get me reported on a random Discord with many people. I am not a ninja nor never ninja’d any loot. I had no bad intentions, but simply a mistake after the long hours in Naxxramas.
What do you think about this?

I think you should face the consequences like a man. If you commit a crime in real life, for example run somebody over while drunk driving you are going to prison, even if it was an accident.

Dont give items to wrong people in the future.
Also report the harassers in game. Dont come here.

Imagine driving 8 full hours during night and then tackling another vehicle on a crossroad and damaging his car paint (this is better analogy case). Don’t know what kind of totalitarian country you live in, but in mine we don’t send drivers to prison for that. We don’t even sanction them for this, they will be paying more for obligatory car insurance and that’s about it.

Sounds like an honest mistake, but there’s nothing you can do about it man. There’s no police or judge here. If his friend wants to get you banned for whatever reason, he can.

You can ignore him and never raid with him again, but abusing the report system is just that: abuse. Stalking and harassing someone over a mere wow item that he very well could’ve honestly given wrong by accident…what do you guys do when someone accidently messes up something small like this in real life? Go on a full scale harassing and vendetta operation? Sad

It’s really fishy thought that it just somehow happened at KT who drops the most worthwhile loot. Some people do naxx solely for KT loot at this point.
Next time make a screenshot of the conversation or take note of date and time and report him, especially if you do get banned.

I think you deserve a week ban for this. You might have intentionally given the item to the wrong person. Even if it wasn’t on purpose it’s still “ stealing”.
You also should get blacklisted on your server discord to warn others as you might make the same mistake again.
I don’t really believe it was an accident anyway. How did you manage to give it to the wrong person?

Master looter tabs aren’t exactly mistake-proof.

First things first , i don’t support in account bans unless really serious offenses are made like real life threats , cheating like botting etc . And this is why we need real GMs , not automated systems a 15yo intern created
On the other hand if they blacklisted you in your server discord as a ninja for the whole server to see , this is 1000% on you , make your peace with it and move on . Mistake or not , you disrespected another person’s most valuable thing , their time .

The one at fault here is the guy equiping it, he knew it was wrongly given to him.

So basically you gave that weapon to your friend instead of the true winner and now you complain that people don’t like it and want you banned. Yea, enjoy that ban.

It´s been a while since i used ML, but are you not specifically asked if you want to give the item to player x?
Like “Are you sure to give this to x?”

Reading this thread, I feel like I take items waaaay less serious than most people.

I have had a similar case happen to me during TBC. I rolled on a cape and won the roll nevertheless the master looter gave it to someone else but I immediately said that I had won and my roll was higher on the screen. The other player gave it to me willingly. From what you described I would advice to settle this with whoever equipped the item no to give it back. If the roll was visible for everyone then he is in the wrong. This does not mean you are not accountable. I do not think you should get banned and harassed because of a mistake (giving you the benefit of the doubt) nonetheless, making it clear you are not a good master looter or one that could make a mistake should suffice. If you never find yourself as master looter again you cannot be held liable for ninjaing.

This happened to me so many times. I was just silently angry everytime. When I was event boss and didn’t notice that loot is set to free for all, the leader apologized that he forgot to change it while other guy from the same guild ninjaed tanking trinket with saying that he thought it is personal loot.
After another five tries with no more tanking trinket drops, I told them that I don’t blame them, I blame Blizzard for not having RDF and ability to trade soulbound items (even if already equipped) between eligible players for two hours ← which is wotlk feature anyway.
