NBG is pure stupidity in pickup groups. Going to say it again. Everyone worked on getting that item to drop in the first place.

Just because some random J-hole didn't bother to farm for themselves and has worse gear than I do doesn't mean they should get it just because it's an upgrade for them and not one for me. I still spent time elsewhere to earn my gear, they did not, I'm entitled to a chance at recovering my time invested.

People shouldn't be automatically rewarded for being lazy about their characters. In cases where an item that could sold and used to upgrade 3-4 slots on another character you're just being a complete dick to expect somebody to just give you the item without having a fair shot at it.

I have a farming toon and can make plat to outfit my alts and will likely pass anything thats only worth a few hundred plat to somebody who can make use of it, but that's my decision to do so. If someone in the group wants to roll on it so they can sell it I don't have a problem with it either.

Also, to add to the argument of 'need'. I find myself often 'needing' more strength for carrying loot when I'm soloing then i 'need' the extra HP i get out of my adamantite ring and if I had this ring I'd probably use it just as much or more than my other ring.
