An mmorpg term referring to a devious being who takes phat l00t that is not rightfully his. They often try to cover up their evil ways by blaming their non existentlittle brother.
A term commonly used in MMORPGs to describe a person who takes loot that is not theirs, or who continually jumps in and takes loot for themselves which by rights belongs to the party.
This term generally applies to MMORPG's, and is used to describe someone who will join a party for the sole purpose of taking every single item of any value whatsoever, regardless of who killed the target and is the rightful owner of the items. A loot ninja will most often seem like a normal player, except when time comes to play the number roll game for a rare, they will roll, and then exploit a bug or a glitch in which they take the loot, regardless of what they rolled. Often hated by other players, and even more so by others of their kind. Sometimes referred to as a Loot Whore, or a n00b. Most people consider loot ninja'ing and those who do it to be committing a high crime, and often bring in a game master about them.
Party member 1: Did OMGHAXX take the rare again?
Party member 2: Yeah, he's such a f***ing loot ninja dude
System: OMGHAXX has obtained -Insert rare item-
System: OMGHAXX has left the party
The act of joining a group and then trying to get as many items as possible, without regard for the well-being of the rest of the group.
(from WoW)
I'm a little ninja, short and stout I take all the loot and I hearthstone out
All the guys on teamspeak scream and shout
I'm the warrior in full devout.
In World of Warcraft, it's customary in many groups to pass on an item when it's being rolled, in order to decide who needs it the most, and then roll again (/random 1-100). A ninja looter will roll on the item, instead of passing, and then may plead ignorance, or may declare that he needs it more than anyone else. Such behavior often results in ejection from the group and blacklisting.
