snippet from PTR Build 14199, Patch 4.2


If a player wins a Need roll under the Need Before Greed system on a Bind on Equip item, the item will become Soulbound to that player. The item will remain unbound if won via a Greed roll.

That's a great change. Keeps people from taking BOE items just to sell.

Here is what I see happening.

person 1-4 roll /greed
person 5 rolls /need (whether he needs it or not) and /leaves the group. /vendors it.

Because people are just mean that way

Good, anything that makes douchebags leave my group is a plus.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Seemed odd at first, but it makes perfect sense.

Now, if they could only make it to where that BOE could only be Needed by a person if that item was for their class or profession, it would be a total win!
