AITA for Being a Loot Goblin in Diablo 2R?

Some people play Diablo 2 Resurrected like it’s a team sport, and some people play it like it’s a timed treasure hunt. This story is about the second type, and the friends who think that makes OP a villain. When they get rushed through a level, they can scoop drops faster than their friends, and they’re also willing to hand over anything they don’t need, since their own gear stays the same. Still, the friends get annoyed, call OP a loot goblin, and act like OP is rude just for picking things up quickly. So OP has to ask Reddit: are they really the a*****e for clicking faster, even if they’re not keeping the loot?

Now OP’s wondering if their “faster looting” habit is ruining the group run.

Original Post

So the game D2R has free for all looting system which I’ve been playing for years. There are certain levels of etiquette to my understanding if you’re getting rushed through a level or weird agreed upon terms.

Now I will occasionally play with friends and they find it annoying that I’m just faster at picking loot up in the game, and also FULLY willing to just give them whatever it was if they wanted or needed it and my personal gear is unaffected. I generally don’t go out of my way to make trades with randoms so if they could use it it’s fine.

But they consider me an a*****e for picking up the loot “too fast” and call me a loot goblin. Am I the a*****e for…clicking faster?…and giving the loot to whoever needs it anyway?

Am I supposed to stand there with my Tome in my hand and just look at the loot?

It is the same kind of tension as the Reddit debate over excluding in-laws from a child’s birthday party.

The whole fight starts the moment OP joins a friend run and grabs drops faster than everyone else, even though OP says they’ll give the item away if someone needs it.

That’s when the nickname “loot goblin” gets thrown around, because OP’s friends think speed equals selfishness, not just efficiency.

The complication deepens when OP says they aren’t out here trading with randoms, they’re simply picking up loot in a free-for-all system and handing it over when it matters.

With OP standing by the idea that they’re not hoarding anything, Reddit has to decide whether “clicking faster” is actually the crime in D2R.</p>

We'd love to hear your take on this situation. Share your thoughts below.

OP might be the fastest looter in the party, but his friends are treating that speed like it’s a betrayal.
