I was doing my usual Norn faming runs today in Varajar Fells with the usual Ursan related group. One member however was adamant about aggroing, not just all the 'wrong' groups but had no reason to do so, perhaps if his Rampage Bonus was in jeaprody I would not have minded so much but it never was. Things finally came to a head when we were approaching the final bosses and he proceeded to run around the area aggroing 4-5 extra Shock Phantoms. The extra monsters weren't necassary since our group had just reached 250 kills so he placed extra burden upon the monks and could have caused party members to die (and lose their own Rampage Bonuses should they have it). After he causes his 5th Shock Phantom to spawn he's far away from our group which is by now at the boss spawn point; a monk runs after him putting himself in danger. Anyway just the one monk couldn't heal the damage he was taking and no-one else wanted to help since he'd gotten himself into the trouble by himself. The player dies and the monk manages to get back safely; having finally being annoyed enough I suggested that he be left dead so that he doesn't aggro any more enemies unnecassarily. Everyone agrees and he's left dead.
Then either the second to last, or the last, I forget which, boss drops a R11 Elemental Sword for the dead guy. The choice then arises, res the player and let him claim his loot or leave him dead, wait 10 minutes and then have a free for all on the weapon after 10 minutes. Sufficed to say that of the 7 of us nobody volunteered to ressurect the guy - after a 10 minute wait the item is picked up. Luckily I was doing this Norn run with my brother, and he was the one to pick it up; he gifted it to me (as I'd found a R9 Elemental Sword on his account, which he kept, the day before whilst farming Raptor Nestlings). Had the guy not annoyed me with his antics I would have honestly res'd him and let him claim the loot (the monks, whom I did not know, seemed decent enough I would certainly have res'd one of them). I also hit R10 on this run so it was my last ever on that character but this isn't really relevant.
Sufficed to say afterwards the dead guy wasn't happy and threatened to 'get us banned' with the screenshots he had captured of our conversation (presumably the leaving him dead part and him not getting the sword). I probably made it worse by just spamming 'lol' whenever he mentioned 'ban'. Now I know that R11 Elemental Sword isn't exactly the bee's knees but I was certainly happy about getting it. After this behemoth of an explanation of the surrounding story; the question(s) is(are): Was it wrong to do that? How many of you would have done the same?
I seem to remember that a similar thing happened to me just over a year ago in FoW; a Shard dropped for me and half the party was dead. The other half waited 5 mins and picked it up then res'd everyone and we pretty much carried on as normal.
