For people having trouble looting at events

[Trebr Drab]

Remember that you can hold down the control and shift keys to get pop up names for items on the ground, and you can grab them with these names. This gets around all the bodies blocking stuff, and is very easy. You can also double click on the names, just like with the items themselves.
Just a little friendly advice for those who don't know this feature.

Doesn't help much when you're standing directly next to a moongate that hundreds of people can pour through suddenly.. object handles only take the first 50 or so items, and creature/player names take precedence over items.
