Anecdote:

So back on Innoruuk server I was in a group when a Howling Harpoon dropped - shaman only, worth a few hundred plat and to my mind at least, a valuable item.

Personally I would have liked to roll on it, but someone said NBG, and since there was a shaman in the group, we agreed to donate it to him. He said thanks and gratefully accepted it.

Then he let us know that he had sold his last Howling Harpoon in order to fund some other item he was wearing. No-one said anything, but I was pissed off.

That's why NBG sucks.
This is exactly why NBG is a terrible system unless you are among friends. That player is eventually going to sell the item...so they got not only the benefit of wearing it but 100% of the plat value down the road just because the other 5 members of the group felt bad about rolling. NBG is a con that ropes in suckers every time.
