Looter Shooter

A sub genre of shooter video game with the core mechanic of progression being drops, container loot, rewards, and shops in conjunction with a leveling system and likely crafting systems using components from drops, container loot, rewards, shops. A looter shooter can be first and/or third person, cooperative, mmo, single player, or competitive or a culmination of some or all with the inclusion of a story. Battle Royale can be considered pseudo-looter shooter but as they lack meaningful progression systems they do not fall into the genre except in lax semantics.
I got a really rare drop last night in that new looter shooter. It really helped with the boss.

ninja looter

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.
