If you're playing in a friendly game, someone who killed you with friendly fire is pretty likely to res you and not steal your stuff. Friendly fire is usually an accident, and if you play as a warrior and get killed overmuch by it, it means that you're probably running in front of the other players while they're shooting. You may get with an overzealous mage on occasion, but a decent player will res anyone he (or she) kills by accident. Hell, if I do it, I try to give the other guy something for his trouble. Not much, say a full heal potion or something, but there's no point in pissing the other players off. Don't get so worked up about it, just tread more carefully and let the other guys have their kills. BTW, Anyone else discouraged by the new Diablo Wear patch? The author has singlehandedly ruined what little economy remained in Diablo...sure, you could dupe stuff before but now there's little purpose to go hunt for that King's Sword of Most Heinous Whup-Ass. Blizzard should forget Starcraft for a few weeks and fix Diablo (can't do much about the items, but why not fix that $@^*ing TownKill problem? Or better yet, why not make it impossible for players to kill each other! True, you couldn't avenge the stealing of items then, but what's the point? You can get a new one in fifteen seconds if you want. -Caramon
