The 'Truth' About Why We Lie, Kill And Steal

Looting in a gaming context, specifically in massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) and MUDs, is the process by which a player character obtains items (or loot) such as in-game currency, equipment, or weapons, often from the Baserape or possibly the corpse of another player in a PVP situation (cf. looting).These looted items will be placed into the player's own inventory.
Loot is considered a reward for killing a other player or Baserape

Most people get so pissed (pisT?) when other players come along, and undo the product of their hard work. The most visible manifestation of this, of course, is "ninja-looting."

And when it happens, you definitely hear all about it. If it doesn't happen to you, it can even be kind of funny. I'm sure you've all read some forum posts somewhere in which the ninja'd party raises all kinds of ruckus, only to be trolled, flamed, and otherwise lambasted to comedic effect. You may feel guilty laughing about it, but you probably laugh anyway. And no one can deny completely cracking up when listening to Teamspeak audio rips of people in the act of getting ninja'd.
