It existed in table top long before MM Os, but the obscure name and the fact that most examples of it happening are probably troper tales would keep examples off the main page.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickYea, in the form of personal Troper Tales, well, anyone who's played Dn D or any other tabletop RPG long enough has a tale about a party that self destructed over a particularly (un)lucky treasure roll.
Strictly limiting this to MM Os would make those tales invalid for this trope.
It would probably be best limited to a general example with stories to be listed on Troper Tales the same as the MM Os are.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickYeah - probably one of the most infamous recent examples was the incident of the golden wrenches from Team Fortress 2, which is definitely not an MMO in the traditional sense of the word.
What's precedent ever done for us?We could list the Golden Wrenches, the Ridill, generic entries about rare ships in Eve, Legendary equipment in World Of Warcraft, what else should we list in the main page?
This is all secondary to renaming the trope or not though, have we reached a consensus on that or should we have a rename or not crowner?
Here
is a crowner.

thanks, also, can't believe I left Cloudsong
off the list of examples to include on the main page.
EDIT: wait, what's The Redrill?

My guild usually calls items that are generally going to be fought over as "High Ticket Items" so maybe go with something along those lines?
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Don't throw it on the crowner. Or at least not this crowner. And really, a) this is more about the drama than the item itself, and b) big ticket item is a far broader term than this trope and just means anything expensive.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickI meant something along those lines not that exact name, And yeah this crowner is if we should rename not rename options.
11 to 0..... wow

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Looks like it to me as well. I've moved the discussion page.
Oh, crap. I can't get at the Loot Drama Page to move over the content.

Added a note to Renamed Tropes. Nice work everyone — and good to see this one go through.
Crown Description:

Yeah but this is an MMO-specific trope. The only non-MMO example is Sim City 4 down at the bottom, and that's debatable if it even applies. There's nothing in the description saying it could even apply to anything else except MM Os. For that reason, I think 3 more simple letters to further define the title should be added.
