What are some of your worst ninja experiences?Follow
In UBRS last week, we had a guy ninja Myrmidon's Signet. We started off badly, and in the first room with the adjoining smaller rooms, we wiped after someone managed to aggro more than one room. Somehow the rogue managed to survive (I still suspect that he saw everything going pearshaped and ran out of the instance, since we were still pretty close to the portal, or else he had a very successful Vanish). While I was dead, I saw Myrmidon's Signet pop up! I informed the raid, some of whom had already released since we didn't have a live rezzer. Long story short, the rogue rolled Need on it while we were all running back to our bodies, and the two warriors got back in the instance to find out that the Rogue had won it. We told him he had to give it up, and he refused. Basically, he said that I didn't need it because it was a melee ring, and he fairly won it in the roll. When the Warriors asked him to /roll against them, he still refused, and left the raid.

I think anykind of random ninja at any level is bad, its when it involves your friends/guildmates that it really hurts worse. We were on a MC clear, MT is our Guildleader as well and class set item drops, warrior gaunts, a friend thats one of the OTs for the guild has most DKP of any of us so we all expect to see him win the item. Not so, GL gets gaunts, there is a quiet pause in Vent and Guildchat and he politely asked what happened since his DKP was higher,the GL's RL wife, who also handled tells for loot, says "Oh, I must HAVE MISSED YOUR TELL". Knowing she used seperate chat windows for tells and that previously she bragged about double checking all tells for loots against DKP we all felt that was rather lame. IF she missed a tell it was convenient the only other missed tell any of us knew about also involved her RL hubby geting gear.
Same GL (both myself and the other off tank have since left this Guild) is tanking on UBRS run, Valor BP drops off general, MT/GL is already wearing Might BP, he rolls against 2 guildmate tanks and wins saying "I wanted it to complete my valor set", A set he DIDNT even use anymore. Both OTs would have used as it was huge upgrade.
Such class.
At least now in the casual/raid Guild we are in everyone talks about all loots then trys to decide who it helps the most and moves on. We dont use DKP at the moment and are very resistant to anyone outside Guild tagging along. Loots always set to ML by raid leader prior to boss kills and after 4 months of raiding with this crew Ive yet to see any loot drama.
If you are in the former kind of Guild, leave and look around there are decent guilds and folks playing.

Not a real Ninja story but I think it still belongs here.
A RL friend of mine used to be in an "uber" guild. They raided a lot, had a perfect recuiting system, the officers and GL were all friends and knew how to run a guild and last but not least, all the guildies shared everything with the guildbank. Herbs, ores, cloth, greens, blues, purples; everything was put into the guild bank. You can donate items or money to receive credits, and use credits to buy stuff from the bank. This all worked great because the guild leader maintained the bank and everyone trusted him and eachother.
Unfortunately, the Guild Leader shared his account with his little brother. His brother was autistic (speeling?) and couldn't always control his temper very well. One day he got mad at his brother (the guild leader), he logged in on the GL character, sold all his gear, plundered all the guildbanks, sended all the money to his main, deleted all the characters exept for his and gave away around 4k gold worth of gear and trade goods to random newbs in the starting zone of Durotar.

Woah.
I'm happy to say I've not had many ninja stories. I think the worst was a couple of Dreadmist Cuffs being needed on my two mages when they had Magister's. Nothing too serious.
Although there are (Or were) a few notorious ninjas on my realm. One had two Baron's mount, another scammed a whole guild out of mats for Hide of the Wild, and other random stuff. There was a bank char selling Crusader for 5g and mats at one point. I blame the people giving him the mats. Who trusts a level 1?

I learned what ninjaing was by BECOMING one!
Back in my first Deadmines run on my first toon...
I play with a guild of RL friends, and in the beginning I was pretty clueless about game concepts, such as soulbound items.
So when a lavishly jeweled ring (blue lvl 17 ring) dropped, I picked it up to show my party. Never really read the sign that came up and said: "Hey look what we've got!"
Everyone started LOLing and going "NINJAAA!" and I had a good thorough explaination about ninjas and soulbound items.
My punishment was to stand in front of the cannon when we blasted the doors open to the pirate ship room...

What the hell is ninjaing

When in a group, and you get the "Need or Greed" screen, you wait for everybody else to roll "Greed", then you roll "Need", thus winning you the item and you "ninja" it from the group. This is of course assuming you don't actually need the item and plan to sell it in the Auction House for money. Then if it was a really good item the "ninja" will promptly leave the group and hearth.
Mine is a lighthearted time I was accused.
Running Scholo when I was less well-geared, I asked the rogue if I could roll against him on the SC helm if it dropped, since I'm feral. "lol ok"
Helm drops, I roll and win it, and cries of ninjaaaa ring out.
"But you said I could roll on it."
"Yeah, but that was when I didn't think it would drop, ninja!"
Eh, I used it longer than he would have.

Last night my guild killed Rajaxx and the Boots of the Vanguard dropped. It was still on Group Loot from the messy waves. Everybody is supposed to pass on the boss loot when it pops up. Rogue rolled Greed on the boots. Rogue's husband just left the guild on bad terms a couple nights before...hm.
Rogue says it was an accident that she hit Greed. Um...the rest of the raid is passing. It asks you "Looting this item with BIND it to you. Are you sure you want to do that?" It's kinda hard to do that sort of thing on accident.
GM ticket was put in. We'll see if they actually do anything to get the item to the correct person. Last time they dropped, I won them and a feral druid was eyeing them. He politely encouraged me to take them, but made it known he would be happy to snap them up if I passed. He has the DKP for it, too. The rogue who took them last night has pretty much nothing for DKP.
I guess we'll see what happens.
I have never had a ninja like that happen from a guildie. *sigh*

I have only had one ninja experience in all my time playing. Not really bad, but something I just found funny myself. Rnning SM Armory with a pug, The ravager dropped, our rogue needed it, and hearthed out. Somehow I don't think the 2-3 gold he would get vendoring it is worth the damage to his rep.
My boyfriend ninjad (ninja'd? ninjaed?) Staff Of Metanoia from under my nose in Scholo once. We both rolled need (he's a priest, I'm a druid) and he won. A couple of seconds later he realised that whatever it was he was using was actually better, whereas I was stuck with my stupid green mace of healing for absolutely ages.
Having just remembered this makes me feel a lot better about persuading him to pass on Wil Of Arlokk for me recently!
Apart from that I've never really encountered any terrible ninjas. I recall one time in Wailing Caverns with an alt, when the mage rolled need on some leather gloves and refused to hand them over to the Shaman (who actually needed them) because "I need 2 sell on AH :)". I think it was his first chaaracter and a genuine mistake though, and I only remember it because it was the PUG from Hell.
