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.

There are people on this server with only 1 character that do not "camp" in EC to buy an item they are wanting. They get in groups and camp the mob that drops it.
Say you are a Monk in UGUK grouping and getting xp. You show up at the entrance and slap LFG on. Your telling me you would argue tooth and nail if the group was camping Scryer or AC and the INT bracers or sleeves dropped with casters in your group that need them?
I will contend it might be different for 50+ levels camping things. But mark me when I say, if there are 4 guildies that invite people into your group because you need them with the intend to shuttle any dropped items amongst yourselves, expect an argument if you don't communicate your intentions to the person you intend to chump.
