Rules and ethics of the online society
... or how to behave yourself.
Following rules is something I would ask all of you to cling to, and group and raid leaders to enforce. It would be nice if everyone accepted them, as it is a common behaviour, just like in RL when you say "thank you" or "please". You don't take things from the shop without paying, you don't drive through the red light etc. So these are NOT the rules of our guild, although going by them is a must because we don't want to make a bad name for our guild as being rude- these are the rules of WoW common behaviour, and they are almost the same in any other MMO game. We also want to avoid missunderstandings about gear and money among ourselves so just try to stick to them.
1. Listen to the team or raid leader. Even if you think he is wrong, let him make mistakes and learn from them - you will get better leaders that way, and also you will take position of leading groups later, and you would want your team mates to do what you say.
2. Never loot corpses during combat - there is enough time for that after the mess and confusion is over, so everyone can look at it in peace and determine if he needs it or not, instead of doing it in the middle of the fight - we avoid lots of equipment missunderstandings that way
3. Roll for chests unless its agreed upon othervise. You have no right to touch a chest, open it, look into it, or do whatever else you feel doing with it if you are not the roll winner. Doing this is considered ninja-looting, and is a pretty rude and irresponcible thing to do.
4. ALWAYS go greed on lockboxes, jewelry, precious stones etc, unless you DO need them, but you HAVE to work it out with the group befor you start playing. There is no way you can need a lockbox ... ever.
5. Everything you want to do, or the way you play, talk it over before you start so you don't need to do later.
6. Don't get into arguments. Don't curse, swear or yell at other players no matter what they do. There are many other more effective ways of solving issues, that don't involv making yourself an idiot.
7. Be patient.
8. You are playing with your team mates, and you are going to play with them alot during the game. Don't be greedy. Share things, after all if your mage gets a better piece of equipment, he will be able to do more next time. Same goes for all other classes. There is no place for greed in teams, especialy not in guild teams.
9. Learn to play along with people even if you disagree, compromise goes a long way.
10. Learn what pieces of equipment certain classes can't need. What you can't use, you can't need . You can need a thing that you cant use for a few levels, if there is no one else that can use it right away. You can not need a piece that your class can not use - for example a mage rolling need on piece of Plate.
11. Listen to the group leader.
12. Listen to the group leader.
13. Look at 11 and 12 :D

Just wanted to add that another reason not to loot during combat is that if someone died and released they might miss the loot roll.
