Am I missing something? Some of you people are apparently confusing the timeline right now. Re-read the group-chat window. Bargearse states that the roll is NBG. Upon the random, Bargearse, Morbo, and Shri all seemingly express confusion over the fact that a druid would roll on the ring. The druid then defends the roll by stating that he isn't wearing a ring. It was clearly an NBG situation as far as the group was concerned -- everyone knew it, including the druid. He's trying to play it off as a 'need' roll. If you're all seriously claiming that a druid rolling NBG on a Gem Encrusted Ring is legitimate because he didn't have a ring slot, you're being absurd.
It's a melee ring. It's totally legitimate for a tank to roll NBG on it -- it's 10ac, 7 strength. Is it better than 5ac/55hp? Meh, probably not for tanking, especially at lower levels, but a tank is also a melee -- and in the event that he's not the main tank (on a raid, in a poorly formed group, etc), this is best in slot for him. How do you defend NBG on a 10ac, 7 strength ring for a druid? Seriously? Buy a damn silver jasper ring -- it costs 10 platinum and it's better for you than a GER. But this guy probably has jasper rings bagged, anyway. Just remind me to un-equip my rogue's boots next time I land a spot in an Efreeti group. NBG on GEBs guys, I don't have a foot slot.
You people are misdirecting your anti-greed rants. It was poor form to ninja loot either way, but that roll should have been disallowed.
