When the Master Looter assigns a Bind on Pickup piece of loot, they also get an alert verifying that the loot is definitely supposed to go to that person.Īny loot on a dead mob can only be looted by the player who was Master Looter at the time that mob was killed. The Master Looter then clicks on the specific name of the character getting that piece of loot. The act is referred to as ninja looting or ninjaing.

The term predates World of Warcraft and originated with the notion of looting as quickly as possible. Master Looter was abused by certain guilds (which would always get posted to the forums, reddit, etc) for going back on agreements made for loot. In the World of Warcraft, AKA ninja looter, a loot ninja or simply ninja, is a player who takes loot to which he or she is not entitled. Each of those groups lists the people in that group when moused over. Master Looter created a pretty elitist mentality in many small-time guilds by giving them an over-inflated sense of authority over pug players. When the loot is clicked a submenu appears off to the side of that particular piece of loot listing every group in the raid. When the Master Looter (who is the Party Leader in a group of five, but can be assigned to someone else by a Raid Leader in a Raid), loots the body, the loot window comes up just like when playing solo.

How to distribute loot as the Master Looter However, some players are against using the Master Looter rules, possibly due to time issues, or because there is the risk of the Master Looter himself/herself being a ninja looter (which this loot system is meant to prevent). You are the casual that has introduced 4 different raid difficulties, personal loot and world quests, all of which have ruined wow and have made wow subscription numbers drop. They have no choice but to PUG if they can’t fill their roster. If a guild didn’t need to PUG they wouldn’t be in LFG anyway. Why no invite You’re not in our guild 1 Like Ithost-illidan April 30, 2022, 2:28am 5 This doesn’t make sense.

With one trustworthy person being the only one to loot a boss's body and distribute the loot there is no chance of a ninja looting the body or selecting need or greed after everyone else has passed for rolling. There’s only unrestricted personal loot in 100 guild runs. Master Loot is a good safeguard against ninjas when a guild or group includes characters they have never partied with before. A master looter or main looter (often abbreviated as ML) is a player designated by the party leader to decide how loot is distributed in a party or raid.
