However, I hate NBG. It's so easily abused. Nothing stops people from using "need" to get a really good class item and then just sell it - and odds are they eventually will. Tstaff - maybe not, but it's still a maybe.
Even if i'm the monk when Tstaff drops, someone else could probably make just as good use of the cash from selling it, since the value is transferable, and no one has to wonder whether or not that monk is simply going to sell it a month from now and twink a different class.
If everyone rolls on stuff, everyone has an equal shot at the same value the item represents. That's far more equitable than installing the infallible notion of "need" which people turn around and abuse. If the group opts to give the class-specific item to the person who would use it the most effectively, fine. But especially for PUGs, it's not equitable to NBG if you're holding a camp that drops stuff that 2 or 3 people will never use. Assuming that they'll be in a situation at some other time where they're that class that needs everything a certain camp drops is just an assumption.
TL;DR - Instead of NBG, how about we admit everyone is greedy (we're playing a freaking game where the goal is to have fun, but also get better gear) and embrace it.

This. I recently was in a group where someone NBGed an item, didn't equip it, and then attempted to sell it before I called them out on it. Sorry, but I just don't trust PUGs enough to do NBG. That being said, I'm not going to disband myself from a group if NBG is the determined loot system, but it's not what I advocate.
