FWIW I've been in lots of PUGs where everyone agreed to give someone an upgrade item, just depends on who you're with.
This whole idea of people in the stupid ass crypt camp joking about JBB/torpor being an upgrade they should get it vs. something pretty cheap like froglok robe or some loam drops that ends up going to a douche rogue its definitely EQ robot asperger's syndrome mentality at its finest, I'm pretty sure nobody thinks they are entitled to a 50k+ item vs something 3k tops.
When a sperglord is introduced with the possibility that maybe, maaaaybe there is an exception or bend to the "rules" when we're talking about a 3k or less item on an expansion that we've been stuck on for 3 years - -

The whole thing is, the group hadn't agreed to NBG. If I had won the roll (Sadre rolled before he asked for it, btw) and he had asked ME for it, I probably would have given it to him (as would have probably one or two other group members). Hell, if he had asked before we rolled, someone probably would have said, "I don't need, you can have if it's an upgrade" which usually cascades through the group until there are no objections to the needing player getting it and people feel obligated to not be the guy who wanted to /ran and sell a clear upgrade item. However, Sadre did not do that, did not win the roll, and the guy who DID win the roll was not under any obligation to give it to him, whatsoever. That guy has a right to the loot awarded to him under the group's predetermined loot rules if he so chooses.
I've been in NBG situations where groups have let me loot items that were upgrades, and I've also been in NBG situations where a 50k item was obtained by someone who needed it rather than the group rolling for it. Could I have used 50k? Fuck yes. Do I regret not having a 1 in 6 chance to have 50k? Not at all. You know what the difference is? The group stated we were doing NBG when we started and we were all cool with that. I got experience and had a good time.
Ask loot rules first, don't have a temper tantrum when you fail to get your way, don't steal from a group member after you lose the roll, and don't make a forum post showing the world what a spoiled brat you are. Btw, I have the group member's name who won the roll on the item you stole, Sadre. You can PM me and I'll tell you who it is if you feel like making amends for stealing. Hell, if you can't afford a 3k robe at level 55, that monk might even tell you to keep it since you need money so badly.
