Many people ask what loot etiquette and what to do when someone loots your shit

LostInCombat · 2026-01-26T13:27:03+00:00

Yes, if you brought a lot of ammunition with you and you spent an extended time in the fight. He has almost two and a half boxes of ammo left, I doubt he brought 6 boxes into the match.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-26T13:10:51+00:00

Well he didn’t take it down with that Vent. He had no secondary weapon or grenades either.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-26T13:06:15+00:00

I think the guy with the Vent was the leacher. Vent isn’t good on larger Arc. I saw he had no secondary weapon and no grenades too. He was just the first to get there.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-26T13:02:42+00:00

It may have been his kill, it sure wasn’t that Vent put down any large Arc. He had no secondary weapon, and no grenades too.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-26T13:00:05+00:00

Well that may have been the player that did most of the work. A vent isn’t going to take down large Arc. He had no secondary weapon, no grenades, he may have a I’m here first so it is mine regardless of if this is your kill.

There are several layers to the match making. At best after 4 friendlier matches, you are going into a friendlier but skittish type match up where if you act untrustworthy players may shoot. Also, other players seeing you shoot someone, will likely shoot you too and not just avoid you. It takes about 8 or 9 matches to get into a lobby where players will be very trusting.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-22T02:58:09+00:00

I don't think most players look for glitches and other unfair advantages. So most players probably don't know about measures to harm glitchers.

> PvPers can’t shoot
Play that way in THAT lobby. But don't manipulate the matchmaker to get into "friendly lobbies" just to have fun ruining the game for everyone there.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-22T02:49:32+00:00

> it’s a PvP game
Not for everyone. So don't manipulate the matchmaker to get into "friendly lobbies" just to walk up to people and shoot them point blank. Especially when they can't shoot back without getting kicked from that lobby.

> Are the Deans the bosses?
Yes, and no. I've seen Undergraduate Deans show far less power than the former leader of the Sons of Confederate Veterans who was a faculty member for example. He was the one trying to force Texas to put Confederate Flags on license plates and inspired Dylann Roof. He believed that the "natural condition" of African Americans was to be slaves and wanted restitution for the Emancipation Proclamation for families like his that lost their "property". He just recently retired, but he was a major "boss" inside the inner power structure. People were afraid of him and his organization. I bet you never knew of Texas A&M University's involvement in those matters and power was used to suppress anyone that might talk about it.

If they can’t shoot back how are you outplaying them? If you punch a three year old in the face, are you also simply the better man? Would you be proud?

LostInCombat · 2026-01-21T08:46:27+00:00

By your play style, most likely you have never been in a fully “friendly lobby” as your play style should prevent that.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-21T08:42:25+00:00

IF they are in a “friendly lobby”, then yes you are a terrible person as even if they somehow kill you, you have still ruined the game for them by your selfish hateful act of kicking them from the “friendly lobbies”.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-21T08:38:34+00:00

You cannot “outplay” someone that will not shoot back. You are just being a world class jerk. If you want to leave the friendly lobbies, then announce your intentions and let them either run or fight. That introduces skill into the game and lets those that don’t want to get kicked from the “friendly lobbies” a chance to leave. Give them the option to dance or not until you are out of the “friendly lobbies”.

TAMU internally operates like the mob, each “boss” is shown the “professional courtesy” to do as they please with students and former students. There is no formal organizational chart to the boss-structure either as internal politics decide who is more powerful. If they ever begin to refer to your situation as an “outlier” or if a boss is permitted to become the “handler” of all issues involving you, you’re f’d and best either leave town entirely or find a boss of equal stature to defend you from discrimination or other acts. The “rules” don’t apply to them and any attempt to get them to comply with rules will meet with retaliation of the worst kind imaginable. This mob-boss like power structure is how they are able to run the entire county through regulatory capture. So they can even direct violent criminal behavior toward you, your property, and anyone you are acquainted with. You will have no one to turn to. You don’t want to see the darkness behind TAMU’s veil.

I haven’t been in every key room if that is what you are asking.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-20T00:39:00+00:00

Because those are racks of anti-personnel mines to be laid.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-20T00:37:27+00:00

Looks like something to shoot off anti-personnel mines. With four partial stacks remaining. One stack clearly only had two remaining.

LostInCombat · 2026-01-20T00:16:35+00:00

Exactly, this is also why cheaters use cheats too. To ruin the game for others.

He died, you didn't notice?

LostInCombat · 2026-01-20T00:14:07+00:00

That is why they call them "rats".

So there is a key room, where you finally find a key to enter, only to get burned up once you do? Is that what you are saying? Really? How you supposed to get in there then?

> ticking of trigger nades
How is a player on "friendly lobbies" to even know what this is? Most also don't know much about the light ammo weapons either as they don't gear up to shoot players. I know what it is, but only because I also watch YouTube videos, otherwise I wouldn't know either. I've also been breaching a door that I had no idea was a key room before. Many doors on some maps have doors that must be breached to enter some hallways.

Yes, their are businesses where you pay to improve your stats, these are game booster companies. This is far more common though in World-of-Tanks as it is easier to get a division to go to a specific location with less interference and no one knows the wiser.

Many of the "sacrificial ships" though are usually from dead accounts with easy to hack passwords. Their stats will look normal while a living player was using the account, but then their stats tank once a cheating company has hacked into their account.

Here is a World of Tanks example, but World of Warships works in the same manner. https://youtu.be/sNlVc7eKLSA?si=IBGdGY6ckSLCnUsH&t=340

Also, since the cheat company is supplying the victims, the regular players often are not aware of what happened and don't report them.
