They said the ninja looter was extinct. Turns out, they just got smarter.

In this episode, Boss Mode digs into the dark art of digital thievery, from the early days of open corpse looting in EverQuest to the modern schemes of loot council corruption, streamer privilege, and “oops I mis-clicked” defenses.

We’ll explore how MMO greed evolved with the times, how developers accidentally enabled it, and why players can’t resist that sweet, forbidden drop. Along the way, you’ll hear listener-style stories of betrayal, redemption, and one legendary EVE Online heist that redefined “emergent gameplay.”

Because in MMOs, the loot isn’t just gear, it’s morality in disguise.

Highlights:

· Classic tales from WoW, EVE Online, ESO, and Final Fantasy XIV

· Real player “grief and redemption” stories

· The psychology of greed and justification

· How developers keep trying to patch human nature

· And why trust might be the rarest drop of all
