Anyone else had this happened during your delta bh/chrono? someone from your squad leaves the squad and teleport as fast as possible then killing all mushroom mobs to steal all of the team's loots.... It's really annoying.

    I'd wc that dudes name, you can be sure he will get avoided by at least some people. If he keeps it up, he won't get any squads soon. lol

    Some people are just idiotic.

    Heard something like that a while ago on WC, there will always be re tards like them, hence you should name and shame them on WC since you cant on forums, the more people know the better!

    We have a black list of people in both factions, notorious thieves, scammers or just plain morons.

    Yeah, just like the banker in Nirvana kicking the squad while keeping all the drops ...naming and shaming in WC seems to be a very effective deterrent for the most part.

    I have a list of names of people I would never squad with, even though I never met or teamed with them before but will simply not take the chance due to the reputations they developed in game.

    I heard of a cleric who did that from a faction mate. Also had a barb who insisted on leaving squad after each boss to get the mushroom mob drops for himself "for his repairs"... and he didn't even stick around for the boss I needed for OVS opening...

    LOL... at Barbs still complaining about repairs in 2012. I did a full SP Delta last night on my Seeker. As the only aoe, my repairs were in the region for 250k. I can almost guarantee the Barb in my squad last night had no way NEAR that cost to repair his own gear at the end.

    I do the same, and while they still get their names called out in WC by people who don't know about them there are still people that take notice, I've had to warn a few squads I've been in about a particular scammer that keeps getting his claws into unwary squads. I've been tempted to start a forum thread of "Undesirable People to squad with" for all to see, have people submit names and screenshots of the culprits in the act, but that could lead to false accusations :/ so for now its just got to be word of mouth....b:surrender

    Try my 400k spike damage armas we'll see how the repair bills go.

    PS with mobs dieing that fast it wont be much for either of us. b:pleased

    I wouldn't say it's a trend either. It's happened to me before, but it was some jerkoff deciding that he wanted to be ... well, a jerkoff. Really stupid to slander your own name over couple hundred k and an elixir potion. b:bye

    And tweakz, not doing spawn nor banked makes no difference. If we're local but they leave squad quickly and run over and get it we're still gonna miss out.

    I've actually had more of a problem with people afking without notice halfway through delta, so we end up with a 5 or less member squad so we can't go out and back in for bh 2 on delta days.

    What does banked runs have to do with someone dropping squad, hitting the mushroom men, and running with the loot? You can't bank the mushroom men. o.O

    banked runs referring to Nirvana (previously mentioned) not Delta

    Actually they do have "banked" runs in Delta where the squad collectively agrees that one person will hold all the page drops and then divide them at the end (with options to buy for any excess/under).

    Agree with the other poster though that whether banked/spawn point or not... that won't stop someone from ditching the squad and making a mad scramble for the coins.

    I have had this happen to me all too often so what I do when I am on my sin, or bm... (a little difficult to do on my seeker) is I let the rest of the squad kill wave 1 boss, while I tp back to the front and kill the mushroom that way we ALL get at least some coins if they drop... hard to prevent the second phase considering that we all need to be there for the kill.

    I know it isn't always the best plan of action to take depending on the squad... but it has been effective at least in my opinion.

    Had someone in my faction try that when we were in a run together. Thankfully me and the cleric (I was on my sin) beat him back and killed and spread the wealth amoung us 5 still in squad.

    Then the idoit decided to complain in faction chat that the other guy beat him to the steal so I informed him (and the rest of the faction) that the other guy was still in squad and it was him that was trying to steal. A few mins later he gets booted from the faction because we don't tolerate **** like that b:victory

    Someone actually did this in my full Delta squad the other night, and it wasn't even spawn. Was rather upset by it. I wanted to make up my barbs repair/charm bill (Not like it had cost much, 250k or so just for repairs total) but nonetheless, I wanted it. b:chuckle

    And this is why I miss when RB was PK enabled like parts of Cube and warsong.

    Someone drop squad to try and do this? Everyone could kill the person.

    That's really pathetic. I would just lol at them when they start begging for a squad invite and just let them port out. Anyone with half a brain can replace what a barb does in GV.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Truth. Not bashing on my barbies b:cute, but I would rather a seeker AOEing or a capable BM luring back into our lovely AOEs than deal with grumpy barbs arguing over repair fees/complaining. Shoot, I didn't even know that barbs still complained about that. o.O;
