Here's a solution that might work & discourage discourteous gamers. If they pick up an item dibbed by someone else, they automatically lose their most valuable item & can no longer pick that up.
Example: Someone pings a purple sniper scope. Your teammate picks it up, but they were wearing a gold shield. Guess what not anymore! And now you can pick up their shield because they took something you dibbed.
As there are so many exceptions that you accidentally / have to grab the pinged item that does not belong to you (or you don't have a thing to lose). The result is that you may lose in a battle due to this system.
This kind of bad manner must be punished, but I think punishing them during the game is not a good idea. Instead of this, allowing player to report them after the game is a better choice (resulting a ban for those bad manner people). This can be also be done on those who are available to rescue you but instead they just let you die and loot your death box (although I have never experienced or done this). To solve the problem of human resources, I think importing the system to let player speculate recordings of reports would be a good idea (I remember there is a same system called "overwatch" in CSGO). I think this is a good idea to reduce those bad manners and ban hacks in the game.

Going to necro a thread? Ok. Calling Dibs doesn't mean you own an object and people need to stop using it so freely. If we both badly need an item and I'm closer to it then you have no right to claim it.
Maybe your situations are different from mine (teammates calling dibs on an item while being further away) but any solution you come up with that makes your situation better makes mine worse. Being able to negatively rate your teammates also wouldn't fly in this game given how quickly people get fired up about their team doing something that they personally feel is "wrong."
- Lord_Scorpion346 years agoLegend@heme725 I bet you're real fun to play with. By your logic we should just toss out the dibs system altogether. Because what's the point of having an "Honor System" if you're not going to be honorable???
And to answer @xx_MIku831_xX you could lose the game regardless because if a teammate takes something someone else dibbed what's to say they're gonna help you when you're in trouble?
I feel it's not only discourteous but disrespectful to your teammate to take something they already called dibs on. So if we're not going to teach players to be more respectful by penalizing them for it, just get rid of it.- 6 years ago
@Lord_Scorpion34Just bunch of things can be happened in the game, especially when you are landed in a crowd and need to fight in a early stage. Out of ammo, armor / weapon swap are very common in that situation. I am quite sure that stealing things can be helped in the fight, changing the entire result of it. And I am sure that you have faced these kind of situations before, and you should not be mad of them as they need to do that. (Really, if you are still mad in this situation, then that is your problem)
I agree that we should teach people don't grab the dibbed things if unnecessary, that we should punish them, but not in a match. As the system you mentioned is not beneficial to the team.
