So I've officially decided to no longer help players slay bosses so they can traverse the game.
It always ends up with ungrateful players swiping up the drops while you do all the work and gloat about what great drops they got.
Now I'm under no illusion that they need to share the items but coming up and swiping and gloating is just that last middle finger and I'm done with it.
I am happy to help out struggling players and often drop items from my stash for them. /rant

Sorry, but I can't quite comprehend your frustration.
Normally the rushed players
gets the drops and the rusher gets a price that was agreed on, The Hellforge, an Ist/Mal etc. So, they don't "swipe", they pick up "their" loot. Let them be happy about their drops. If you are jealous of their drops, you should either negotiate that you can pick up loot, too, or you do as you have said, just don't rush people if you don't want to help them.
By the way, how often does it happen that players find great items in the course of a (or several) short boss rushes? Not often. If you can negotiate a Mal or Ist as your payment, it will most likely be more valuable than the drops in most cases.
I've just been hopping around helping out when I can for nothing. I jumped into a normal Baal run game. After I got to the team at the Throne, everyone left a few seconds latter. I hope they didn't get disconnected. But I was baffled why they all left. I didn't want anything and I wasn't going to pick up a thing. Just wanted to help.
I like to help for free since I was helped for free in the beginning, paying it forward so to speak. Plus, I like flexing on Ubers/Ancients now, so everybody wins
I am sometimes pissed off when teleporting to Baal to level up on waves. Folks who stay in the town start picking Rejuv potions. Buy I just say to them to stop and they stop. Sometimes folks uploading their pots for me to speed up next run.
And about drops -you should expect to get only part of it or none in full game. Normally someone is faster than me.

If this is what they do after you have agreed with them that the loot is to be shared, then I agree, this is very bad form on their part.
But, if this hasn't been agreed in advanced, then i would say it's not unreasonable or unexpected for the player of the game to claim the loot. After all, it is their game. Some players in this situation might offer you something at this stage, but many won't. Both host players and the helpers will all have different expectations, and sometimes help is for free, (and understood to be free) and sometimes help will cost them something (and understood as such).
Probably best to agree it in advance to avoid misunderstandings. Hope your next games are better.
Aards.
