Yeah, basically.

Not really fair to ask 5 PUG members you hardly know to each sacrifice 40k on the altar of improving your main-hand.

Think of it this way: claiming NBG on a T-Staff is essentially the equivalent of asking everyone in your group for 40k donations. If it were a guild group, maybe they'd be okay with that -- you'd probably help them equally down the road. If it were good friends, maybe they'd be cool with that. But a group of guys you barely know? Doubt it. A T-staff, at this point of p99, is 240k. It'd sell overnight at that price. It's not something that would take a great deal of effort to sell, nor is it something with marginal value. It's platinum. Everyone needs platinum. There is no 'greed'.

What a monk should really do is just trio the camp with a cleric and an enchanter, and pre-buy their rolls on a T-Staff. Basically, find out how long they're willing to stay at the camp, and pay them -- say -- 1k / hour to forfeit their roll on the staff, if it were to drop. That way you get a t-staff for way less than market value, they get paid whether or not they get lucky, all of you get experience, and everyone's happy. Hurray.

Actually, I find this bit o logic, acceptable.
