item whore

Someone in an online game or video game that likes hoarding items for either selling those items later or to prevent other people from obtaining them.

"Oh, I have burried a lot of items that I didn't have room for in my house outside."

"You're such an item whore."

Item whore

A word form MMORPGs, specifically the ones where enemies drop items to sell instead of just gold.

It means someone who picks up all the items he/she possibly can, no mater how lame and low sell price they may be.

(Ragnarök Online)

Assassin Cross: hey dude why did you leave all those items laying there.

Lord Knight: Why not, they sell for almost nothing.

Assassin Cross: Yeah but it is still enough to make me want to pick it all up (picks up all the crappy items).

Lord Knight: God dammit I have an item whore in my party.
