I was not sure when I started Guild Wars if I would like the idea of partying up in an instance situation - meaning, when you leave a town or outpost - the areas with enemies are CREATED for you and your party ALONE. Which means, NO rep stealing (parties SHARE rep and money dropped) and no enemy camping. ALL drops are assigned to a certain player - its got your name on it, and someone else cannot pick it up (for ten minutes at least!) But, you can redrop something for another player - or trade it. =)
I love this system now - no stealing loot, no rude players - just you and your party out there killing things however you want, and sharing the spoils! =D

Drops are assigned to a certain player. That's why this issue is such a problem. Anyone who gets at least one hit on an enemy will get their own drop. There is no sharing of loot. Everyone gets stuff and not necessarily the same stuff in any particular drop. I've had many instances where a crew member will get a great weapon drop when all I got was gold. As far as I can tell there is no set system as to what is inside a drop. It's kinda like the lottery, totally random.
I had an alteraction the other day. Walked up to Darkhart and there was someone in the wall fighting him, by himself with what I assume was a basic crew rep pirate. (level 3 and afk). i said hello and asked if I may join them and I got "Go away, he's mine." as a response. Rather than start trouble, I said fine and left for another server. I would much rather spend a few minutes finding a group of good pirates or an empty server than stay and associate with a pirate of this attitude. It has gotten a lot worse since these updates came out. Weapons will come to you in time, there is no need for the frenzy of instant gratification 'cause once you have the weapon that you want, the complaints will start coming in that it was to easy for everyone to find the relic that they wanted.
