I was partying with a few people just now in Grenths and our team killed flint. He dropped a fleshcleaver for me.
Just as i was about to pick it up, some idiot deliberately zoned us into the furnace...making me lose my green item.

It wasn't as if i was even stood around looking at the loot and the party had moved on...the fireballs were still raining to the ground from our elementalist and others were picking up bits of loot.

If i knew who it was...

Lets hope this doesn't catch on. Just another reason to take henchmen. Never again will i party with people. I swear it.

stuff like this happens all the time in Guild Wars. it's been happening since the game came out.

there is an inherent problem with allowing anyone in the party to zone the whole party any time he wants to, even against their will

good solution would be to make it so that only the party leader can activate the zone process.

Well, i know who did it.

The other monk on the group wanted to go inside. He/she even said "Better inside" "cya".

This appeared in the chat a short while before we killed flint and i wondered why i was the only one healing. Obviously this idiot was standing next to the portal, waiting for him to drop his loot...just to spite us for wanting to stay outside.

EDIT - Why do we have to lose loot like that? A "take all" button is needed like after mission completion.

that would cause huge problems for parties that were slautered and are being saved by the one competent player that thought well enough to go zone the team.

I had something sort of similar happen before. We killed that dude and a green water staff dropped for me. I didn't notice it drop, too busy paying attention to everything else and three of the party members caught on to what I had missed, so they all stood around it hoping to get it as soon as it timed out and become free for all.

The rest of the group had charged ahead to fight some more and they started dropping because our monks were part of that group standing there. Noone else realised they were staying back. Of course I started running towards them to bring them up, but they dropped too fast and I had to get out of there, 1hp from dying from conjure phantasm when troll unguent kicked in. I was promptly told that I had a green item for me by my guildie (who had died), picked it up and of course the people standing around left immediately.

I can't believe some of these people so desperate over it. If one of my other guildies wasn't a hydromancer, I would have promptly just salvaged it for wood or some shit or sold it to the trader. Funny as hell though. The best part was when the dead people started accusing me of sabotaging the quest in order to get the weapon.

I woulda just picked it up and randomly chosen one of them to give it to...if it's gonna make their day better then why not? it's not like the green weapons are any better than any of the other weapons in the game. Some people are stupid enough to think this game has "uber" weapons

The ones who wanted it left as soon as I picked it up and the ones complaining were dead in the midst of a mob, also leaving after they realised it was futile. It's got a good home with a hydromancer anyway

Personally, I've benefited more from the 'anyone can zone' feature than been hurt by it.

Maybe it's because I don't party with random idiots...?

Get a good guild, guys. NEVER farm with anyone outside of your guild or circle of friends.

I'm lucky enough to have a guild that's that trustworthy, at least.

Greens outside of SF are worthless anyways, since they're getting farmed to hell. It's the ones deap in SF you want to be worried about.

Well, I feel good about my guild, anyway.

PM me sometime in game if you want to party... I'm an officer, too, so if I like you I'll let you in.

Seriously, folks, you want to find out if you can trust people before you go running off and doing quests that are important to you, or farming for valuable items.

People here are talking about nice guild that's fun to party with for Sorrows, where people won't steal your items but instead give you theirs if you can use them better, not a guild whose sole purpose is to take HoH.

Plenty of the first kind on Euro servers.

I'm so tired of hearing the same answeR: "Join a guild!"

Sure, its the easiest way, but joining guilds that are worth it is nearly impossible.

Some people are just idiots, I have had people go so far as to sit down on my drops trying to hide them hoping I did not notice so they could pick them up.

There will always be abusal and ignorance in pug games. 'join a guild'? I have been looking carefully for a guild with friendly people not just wanting to GvG but to help around. When I finally found one it died after summerhollidays were over

. Not going to try that again (on Europe). So back to solo.

Very true, and since the ones inside are harder to get it won't be so much the green that will be rare but the name to be rare. So I would expect hearing people shouting names instead of "godly green" in the near future.

My guild's in Europe, we're not very big, but I don't want to invite every other person, I want to have a guild that indeed just has fun playing the game. And we'll fight guild battles and such just not as often.

I was in a group that as we left for a run to Temple of Ages, decided to zone back into the springs because he had died shortly after we had left from enemies we had killed. A black dye had dropped for me and I had "just" picked it up not a second earlier before we zoned. I would have been so pissed had we zoned before. This kinda action is why regardless of how people complain, I pick up my loot in battle now.

I WILL always pick up my loot while in battle and it isnt really that easy to find a great godly guild,they dont come to often.I am in an awesome one that if we done GVG we could easily be ranked top 20 but we dont do GVG yet since we are getting all of chars ready and trained for battle.

It was Flint, a boss that was the last enemy of the group. Even if we killed Flint first, this moron would have rezoned us anyway.
I too always collect valuable items while in battle but when you're a caster, you need time to run to the loot and actually collect it.
During this instance, i had pressed spacebar just as the sorrows furnace loading screen appeared.
