I usually hunt based on damage with my wife and several time she receives the items (I always make more damage) I think item is given out randomly at this setting!

Maybe time to get your wife a better gun

Sad story, I hope it turns out good (altough I can't say I belive this actually) for your friend JC.
And it's pretty sad that the first thing in EU, when you meet new people is switching "no trust" mode and lowering barriers for good old friends and soc mates only. That's why I always refuse hunting with anyone I do not know (which limits the group of possible team mates to 50 or so)...

[Alcante Residus]

I always use stack share & almost never
any other combination of sharing hunt loot;
btw, russians have an ol' good proverb:

"Доверяй, но проверяй" - meaning, trust
doesn't comes out of nowhere only after
one or some hunts.. to be shure of some1's
trustability, u must check that person,
if u don't know him/her IRL & periodically.

My addition to a loosy hunting theme:

http://www.entropiaforum.com/gallery...er_tp_chip.jpg
It was on 2008.07.20, time is stated in pic's properties.

Story: I decided work a bit on my PowerFist skills prior to
2008.08.09 event, and do this by boxing some argos near
Twin Mall.. here I met one great pal, joined almost noname
"team" and we started 2 hunt.. some argos.. golden swirlies
popped-out - teammate got a ~ 56 PED value Lesser TP Chip
(see an attached screenie), and this was witnessed by one of
my socmates nearby (DanDare, u can see his dot on radar).

Now some facts: it was my 1st ever team global; robinson stuck
for a good time, while I was smashing incoming argo, and maked
some lemme excuse, suddenly vanishing & promising "see me soon"..

Well, u can quess a rest part.. after some minutes he logged in,
by 1st action disbanding a team, and no 1 has heard of him since...

Some minutes after that, I continued with my soc.mate, and it was
OK to make it with person I know, the same night I got a good loot,
also in team, rewarded by some Kobold (F) armor parts, so, hunt
was a minor plus anyway, but I'll remember this name, which
dissallowed posting of my 1st hunting global.. take care..

"Jungeler IsBest" rings a bell, I'm fairly sure I've seen/heard that ava in Twin recently. I'll keep my eyes open and pass the message on if possible and we'll see what happens

[Dorsai]

When I go on a team hunt my expectation is that I will receive only the items that arrive in my loot window.
When I get a PM from a soc mate saying "I owe you X peds" from whenever, I am happy!
When I get a PM from a soc mate saying "You owe X peds from the hunt cos you looted <item>" I check my storage, and 'Low and behold' there the item is. I then pay up. what goes around comes around.

If I was teaming with someone I did not know, I would make it clear that "What you loot it what you get!"
Then I don't lose anything when they loot a nice item, as I never expected to get a share. Should they then split it, A friendship is formed.
I do OC split fairly regardless of "What you loot it what you get!", but by making it clear they keep what they loot, it's their choice to be fair or not, and I know I will be fair.

Doubt the case in question will be resolved to the satisfaction of both parties though.

...Well .... to some approx. 320$ may be a few bucks ... to others maybe quite a LOT ....

i think theres a wider issue of how the 360tt item dropped on the presumably lower skilled player, or was he doing more damage? either theres a big bug there or the guy was a ringer.

It's a sad situation when you always have to worry about who you hunt with.I hope it works out for your friend.

As some said before, non-stackable items can go to anyone regardless of the damage they deal. It's not a bug.

When it's random, people complain because someone who does little damage can get a nice item.

If it wasn't random, people would complain because the guy with the slightly bigger gun gets the items every time.

Can't win.

Hope you can find the guy and that it's resolved fairly. The guy's socmates would be well-advised to help out if they don't want their reputation to hit rock bottom overnight.

Loot items are distributed amongst team members based on the relative damage inflicted by each member of the team. [Please note that stackable items will not be split and are counted as one item | Stackable items will be split].

going by the text, it is not expected behavior for either damage decides options to give the largest value item to anyone other than the avatar doing the highest amount of damage. therefore it is a bug, or the text is wrong. either way, it needs fixing.
