A lesson in not being an asshole to your teammates because... you never know when they might have something you want.
In a round with Wylder and Ironeye. Just finished castle basement, Ironeye walks over to me, drops a dagger beside me. While I stop to look at it, Wylder walks over, immediately grabs it from me. So I look in his inventory, and I'm tilted... because this dagger was a massive improvement to the one I was using, had damage negation at full hp, and most importantly it reduced the amount of mana I'd use for spells. Kind of important when my mana is limited. So perfect dagger for me, Wylder swiped it. I'm pissed, but I'm not going to throw. Immediately after this incident I go to pick my reward for the castle basement boss. And wouldn't you know it... it's the Marais Executioner Sword. The golden, legendary level greatsword that every Wylder fiends for because not only does it do great damage, but it has the passive ability that it gives you a slight boost to your attack for every little enemy you kill. That can stack up crazy damage especially when you get it early, and we were still in day 1. Normally I'd immediately hand that sword over to the team Wylder to get them good, and buffed to do as much physical damage as possible while I'm slinging spells. But when said Wylder is a huge, selfish asshole... Nah. I'm gonna hold it off-hand so he knows I have it, and hopefully it clicks for him the mistakes he's made in life xD Which I think it did because wouldn't ypu know it, our next stop he dropped that dagger beside me, pinged it for me. Nah uh, fucker, you're not getting MY God sword that easily. He then proceeded to drop me staff after staff after staff over our next few POIs. I don't think he took a single reward for himself the first half of day 2, he just kept dropping stuff for me. So eventually I relinquished the sword to him, after I felt he'd paid enough for his crime, which he took immediately, and set off to grind out as many kills as possible. And we won. And that's one of many reasons why you should be kind to your teammates. Sure, you need to make you have what you need, but if it means taking away something that's better for someone else... just don't. It happened with a Reclise earlier. They dropped me a talisman that buffs incantations. Recluse is technically better with incants than Duchess, and we both had the Flame of Frenzy, but they saw my fire incantation build, and gave it to me. So later in the game when I had the opportunity to score them a staff with Stars of Ruin, I grabbed it for them. That's being an effective team. When everyone is only worried about themselves... that usually leads to a loss. I'm finding Recluse players much more tolerable lately than Revenants. Had a round where a Revenant took us across the fucking map to every cathedral looking for seals, cared only about what they needed, and then they hey a Halo Scythe, knowing I've been looking for one, and will do massive damage with it, nah they keep it. That, however, is not what led to me throwing, and losing 500 points xD What really set me off was I was running out of one of these numerous cathedrals, and I see her fighting off a dire wolf so I stop to help. As soon as this wolf aggros onto me, she fucking runs away, leaving me to fight it by myself even though it was only attacking me because I stopped to HELP HER. Like... no. Take my points. Take them all, send me to depth one cauae fuck that. I dropped all my gear, found a nice place to sit my character down, and listened to the sweet sound of them dying, and aggressively pinging over, and over. Sorry, Duchess doesn't help selfish assholes, good luck with Libra, bitches.
