I was wondering why that message popped up in the loot screen after combat.

Were you able to loot everything?

When you try to loot an item, there is a check to make sure that the item you are looting belongs to an NPC that was in the battle you were just in. If the check fails, then it displays that message. I’ve never heard of anyone getting it. I put the check in there to keep scripters from trying to grab loot from other players, and I can’t imagine a scenario where it would actually trip the “cheater” message, but if you had some lag or something and tried to “double-loot” an item, that might cause it to happen.

I’ll change the wording of the message one of these days – don’t worry, I don’t think you cheated :)

For some reason i am having to refresh my page alot in battles and in looting. It could be that there was an item that i had already picked up that didn’t process right when the page refreshed. Thanks again Ranger.
