On Anarchyonline.com this morning: 28 April, 2003 Customer Services Department After constant review and a large amount of petition abuse of the current Ninja Looting Policy, we have attempted to find a more solid and well defined policy on this matter. This policy change begins today and is not retroactive. Ninja-Looting Definition and Policy Ninja-Looting Definition Items looted while in a team situation will never be considered "Ninja-Looted". As a killing team member (the team doing the most damage therefore having loot rights) you have as much a right to an item as anyone in your team. Team leaders are able to change loot order and are responsible for that loot order. Only no-drop items will be considered when discussing ninja-looting. Items that are tradable can easily be looted by the leader of a team and traded to the proper individual. The killing team does have rights to the looted item. Again, team leaders are responsible for this action. Looting of a no-drop item outside the killing team while the killing team is discussing the distribution of the item will be considered ninja-looting. Ninja Looting Policy A ninja looting claim must be petitioned within 12 hours of the incident. This gives you a chance to determine if the person actually intended to ninja-loot. If upon an investigation of ninja-looting a character is found to have actually ninja-looted an item, the item will be deleted from the character and there will be possible disciplinary action including possible suspension or banning of the user account. Ninja-looted items are not returned to the team or person claiming loot rights for any reason. Abuse of this policy or false petitioning regarding this policy will be treated as attempting to defraud a Customer Service Representative and treated accordingly.
