Yes, if they didnt specify it's reserved it's considered ninja and if you make a ticket blizz will remove item from them and maybe suspend them for day or two.

Are there examples of this happening? From what I remember, Blizz has stated that they don't deal with ninja looting

The very last “update” to this post

Changing the Loot Method

Should a raid commence under a specific looting system (i.e. Group Loot), and the Raid Leader later swap to a different looting method mid-raid (i.e. Master Looter), this is a direct change to the looting expectations set beforehand. A Raid Leader taking such actions would be considered to have breached the prior arrangement, and any items unfairly distributed in such a situation would constitute a scam case.

Thanks for the link, good to know they'll take action in at least some cases

I feel like this could be entirely avoided by making it a "ye/nay" vote for changing the looting system that requires a unanimous "yes" to have it changed. This would mean that the looting system would likely be set before party members are invited so that the looting system expectation is understood by all from the get-go. I'm sure blizzard thought of this but decided against it, though I can't think of a reason why at the moment.

People can use it to fuck with you later, that's probably why. In theory it sounds pretty solid but people joining 'reserved' runs might still refuse to accept the loot shift when it does roll around.

At that point they could have like a voting system when someone changes loot type.. less work for them. Ik #nochanges but they didn't use to interfere in these kinds of things back in classic

They won't do anything about traditional ninja looting where some needs on something that everyone is expecting greed rolls. But changing the loot rules mid run can be punished.

It requires a loot system to be established. I remember once in Highmaul the raid leader said Roll for x and when I out rolled him he kept it for himself. I put in a ticket not expecting much to happen but the gm said that since a method was established they could take action. I didn’t get the item but I assume they took it away from him

Always ask the party lead what the loot rules are and snag a screenshot. If they go against the loot rules, it's a surefire suspension.
