syndi looting/looter.

syndi comes from the word "syndicate" and we know that by lore the syndicate is involved in dirty dealings, and loot ninja are dirty as well. For example the players kicking for CT loot.

Why do you need another term for ninja looting?

It's best to keep things simple. A lot of people will have no idea what you're on about, whilst the term 'ninja' is used across numerous MMO's to describe someone who steals loot directly or indirectly.

what I mean is to have a ffxiv term for it. I mean for swtor there are those that call them loot jawas.

I've never heard that term in SWTOR.  Everyone I know calls them ninja looters.  >.>  Same in Rift.

I don't think FFXIV needs its own unique hist on the term, but if there was some law forcing us to do that, I'd use "qiqirn looters".

I've my own terms for such players though I'll avoid posting them here to avoid a potential ban. Tongue
