Heh. I've made the mistake of telling people when they refuse to use a
looting order that I'm going to pick the pockets of every Xth mob (in a
party of X players) and that I'll leave the rest for them to loot. Amazing
how quickly these groups disband. It took me a while to figure out I was
better off saying nothing. ;^)

By "true newbie" I assume you mean non-twinks, since a non-twinked secondary
character will need to count their coppers as much as a primary character at
the lower levels.

Twinks, as a general rule, only group with other twinks. I've gotten a few
gifts (guard bracer, bracer of Erollisi, Dragoon Dirk, two earings of
desease reflection & a carnelian wedding band to be exact), but still don't
quite live up to the standards of twink groups.
