"Greed" is those that think they should be able to roll on something so they can sell in lieu of someone that actually needs the item. To feed their plat addiction so they can be RICH and feel self important.

This is my last response to you. Go find someone else to bother if you don't understand or can't get past your greed.
You realize that people sell stuff so they can buy gear for their character, right? If the monk demands the Tstaff and tells everyone else to fuck off, he's being noble and fair, but if I want everyone to get a chance to roll on it so they can buy themselves haste or uber weapons or fungi tunics or whatever, they're doing it just to be rich and feel self important? How does that make ANY sense?

And what if someone claims "need!" on an item, and then later someone offers them an even better item for it, is it greedy to accept that trade? If I get an item via "need" and then can later trade it in a way that gets me stuff even more beneficial to my character than the original item, that's called being practical, not greedy. Also, who determines "need"? Should the cleric in the group who doesn't have a manastone get to "need" roll on the fungi tunic that drops? What about the rogue? Are we just defining "need" as anyone who can use it? Or is there some arbitrary determination of whether or not the person "needs" it? Is it just whether or not someone who can equip it claims need, even if everyone can plainly see the item in question would be a blatant downgrade?

And that's ignoring the whole bit about stuff like why would the ever so important enchanter join your king group to help you guys gets 150K++ items when there isn't shit there for him? Greedy is expecting him to do it with no chance at similar quality rewards that you can get.

Free roll > "NBG"
