I just see both sides of the argument. No melee can solo an FBSS or SSoY. However all of them can solo the AC for a ring or Pyzjn for a GBS to sell. Does that make them bastards because some random caster wanted to camp Pyzjn or some random noob wanted to camp a ring? Obviously demanding an equal chance at such loot in a group is more immediate... But it's the same thing really. If you put in the same amount of time camping an item why are you a greedy bastard if you want to sell it for cash to buy, or directly trade it for something you would use? Maybe the person who is gonna equip the item is being more greedy because they feel that their being able to use it directly is more important than your need to use the cash from it to buy something else!! *shrug*
agree with this

but I thought the point of this argument against selling the Jboots ring MQ was because those who monopolize the AC camp and don't leave it for people who don't want to buy it but do want to camp the spawn for themselves? I don't think it would be bad to camp it when it's open (but really... when is it ever just open?), but there are people who switch off the spawn with their friend so that either themselves or their friend always has the camp.
