Diablo II vs World of Warcraft

Could you please elaborate on the issue of "ninjalooting"?

Ninja Loot (verb): the act of playing tricks on your partymates to steal the top loot, typically from a boss.

How it works: there are multiple ways to "Ninja Loot."

• Pick up a 'Bind on Pickup' item even though you have no use for it whatsoever. Do this and you will quickly have a hard time getting a group as your reputation as a total you-know-what-hole spreads.

• Be the party leader. Just before the big boss dies, switch the party loot method to "Master Loot." This makes it so the party leader is the only one who gets to loot a corpse. Take the loot, say "thank you" to the people you've been partying with for the last 1-3 hours, and take off.

• Loot something that the party had agreed to "roll" on, "roll" meaning using the command "/random 100" to generate a random number, with highest roll of the "dice" winning the loot. This is what is typically done for the big loots, especially if nobody in the party needs the item.
  <>
  
• In a Round-Robin loot scheme (the most common), arrange it so that you get to have the boss loot by ensuring that the boss' death will be your turn to loot the corpse. Then take everything and claim (incorrectly) that it was your right to loot it because it was your turn. Only morons use this argument.<>

  Some have suggested that there be some mechanism to prevent a party leader from switching to Master Loot instantly, but in the end you simply have to trust your party leader.
