During yesterday's siege defense we experienced an ongoing internal problem of battlefield looting. I personally saw members looting, as well as other clans (eXile), and hollered in vent for it to stop. This sparked an argument in clan alliance that frankly, I'm tired of seeing.

During sieges we have two rules. Stick to the waypoints, and don't loot during combat. That's it.

I understand some of those who were looting were out of stamina and all but useless in the fight. That time spent looting could be spent on a manna missile. The stam regens fast enough to where you're almost able to constantly shoot manna missile stam-free. This constant pressure, even if it's visual, helps in the battle. The more we kill, the more loot there will be.

Some expressed concerns that this is a full-loot game and that people want to loot the spoils of battle. I understand that, and encourage it....but not during sieges. Go out on your own time and PvP, loot, and be merry. During battle, we need this rule followed. I'm embarrassed every battle when other clans are sending me tells saying "so and so from your clan is battle looting".

For instance, take a look at this recent thread:

When people reflect on KGB, this isn't my ideal reflection.

This isn't a power trip from the leadership. We aren't trying to control you. If you see other clans battle looting, let them look like fools. The Mercs dropped half of us like flies, but you didn't see them battle looting. What you saw is them mopping us up, and looting after we were all dead.
