No, I pass on items if i even suspect another person can use it. Of course we all make the occasional mistake.

No it isn't. There's a reason there's "need" and "greed" buttons in every modern MMO.

Wow's raid finder function actually takes it to a new level and doesn't even let people roll because morons like you were griefing people.

In fact, most raids these days have the raid leader use master looter to avoid people like you screwing things up in the first place.



I fail to see how rolling on loot can be considered griefing.

You seem a little butt-hurt about all this.

Maybe you should stick to guild-exclusive raids.

I can't remember the last time I was on an actual raid, or what we were raiding. It was probably in EQ, to give you an idea of how long it's been.

I say do what you want because its your money and your game. They dont have to like it and who cares if they dont? Your there for fun. Why do people always feel the need to cater to the rest of the player populace? I mean if a guildy needed it thats one thing. The rest, pfft. Who cares. Kinda would depend on how I'm feeling. If people are jerks I'm rolling just for spite. If they are being cool then I will too. But depends on how I'm feeling.

Most guilds would drop you from raids if you did that anyhow, so I'm not sure if he's trolling or just had some really bad guilds.

People should just have 1 toon that is guildless and use him to acquire gear for the toons in a guild. Just make sure no one knows that its yours. Its always a good thing to have a couple toons be UFOs.

No, just being honest. Games like wow have had to change the way loot gets distributed significantly to try to weed out idiots who roll need on everything.


Game developers clearly do not agree with you that their games are set up for everyone to roll on everything.

So, you honestly believe it is fair that only a handful of people should be rewarded for the efforts of an entire group?

Check that. You believe that only a handful of people should even be allowed the opportunity of a reward for the effort of an entire group?


So, you wouldn't be opposed to the prevention of duplicated loot acquisition by the same account?

I mean, since we're talking "need" here, there is no reason one person should be allowed to acquire the same raid loot drop more than once (per account), given the absurd rarity of it and difficulty in obtaining it (read: requires group effort), right?

Of course I don't. Why would you? It is a game.

If pixels are that important to you that you have to roll on every drop, perhaps gaming is a bit too much for you.
