Is ninja looting bannable in WoW?

Ninja looting itself (taking an item you rolled on fairly in "Need Before Greed" or "Free-for-All") isn't directly bannable by Blizzard, as it's within the game's rules, but it leads to severe social consequences like being blacklisted, and if you're the Master Looter and deliberately give loot against group rules (like "MS>OS"), it's considered scamming/fraud, which is against Blizzard's policies and can lead to action, though reporting is often difficult and outcomes vary.

What is ninja looting in WoW?

In World of Warcraft (WoW), Ninja Looting is when a player unfairly takes loot (items) that isn't rightfully theirs, often by breaking established group rules, rolling "Need" on gear they can't use (like an Enchanter taking a cloth item), or a Master Looter giving items to themselves or friends contrary to agreements, creating significant player frustration and conflict. It's considered a major breach of etiquette, especially in Classic WoW where rules were less automated, but it still happens in modern versions, often involving deceptive tactics.
