Yet, that was not so much my point, and I disagree somewhat also with Juko, that during an event, the looter may act upon the loot as he chooses. In my eyes, that is similar as if during the NPC boss hunts the looter would keep the prize and leave the others without their share. That would be the certain end of such multi team activity.
that's the point I tried to make in my last paragraph. should have expressed it in a better way...
anyhow, the consumable loot is secondary - and i'm only speaking for myself, not for my guild or anybody else. collecting the titles and trophies, however, is like making a photo album. It's what remains beyond consumable stuff which is crafted into items that break at some point - or is wiped in a server merge.
