*yawn* and i hoped the case will be closed.
well, these are my beliefs about loot distribution:
1. I see no reason to believe
MA keeps track of your loot, "marks" your loots or anything like that. if that would be the case i would never get any loot at all as a non-depositor.
that also would be a waste of database space because no "earmarking" is needed as the law of big numbers works wonders in the long run.
2. the stack share algorithm isn't perfect, but neither we can make it perfect. myself, i don't attempt to make it perfect, just to improve the outcome in a feasible way.
3. hence,
i split all non-stackable items (even pixie and goblin parts ) and hangar parts equally between all team members, including those who were dead or away at the moment loot happened. under no circumstances, i would redistribute other loot as clear rules to do so cannot be construed.
side notes:
4. to avoid unnecessarily complicating the issue, i avoid unbalanced teams. by the way, it's also the reason Nea's swunts are "opalo/cb5, no amp" only.
5. i believe that at the end of the day, regardless of all previous "agreements", splitting loot is up to everyone's own conscience, and
nobody should make demands on anyone. hence, (3.) is what i do myself, not expect from anyone else.
the guy who demanded that you split the item was already making silly demands before (like an extra share of loot because one of team members left before receiving his share). therefore:
a. that guy is on my personal blacklist now.
b. given his aggressive tone, i can understand quite well why you ran away with those shin guards.
An ending note:
if you think the way loot works is too complicated, think of karma. it may have an even more complicated mechanism.
