If a good item drops, no one needs it. There's no such thing as needing an item. Everyone wants it because everyone is greedy. Because it's going to make them more powerful or get the more platinum or make them look fabulous. It's greed. Who can equip it is irrelevant.

Also what are you talking about about how that character is you? It's a video game. Even D&D is just a role-playing game, and an MMO is a pretty far cry from a pencil and paper RPG to begin with. Shaniqua the wood elf Ranger doesn't exist. And her player doesn't need that fbss any more than anyone else in the group does.
There is a reason historians say in order for civilization to proceed in a positive direction you must burn all lawyers first. A class can need an item. A warrior needs proccing weps to be viable. Sure he can dps without it but he isn't tanking anything. A wizard winning fbss to equip an alt isn't need. Sure he can buy an int item that will help him once every few hours when hes full mana because he afk'd during a group and got it. Otherwise he has int to increase his mana that he rarely gets to use when it matters. Point of MMO and DnD and other roleplay games is to be the character.. not be you. There's a reason they are MMORPGs and not just MMOs. Only greedy people use arguments like yours. The warrior needs ac gear and proccing items because he wants to hold agro for his groups and he wants to not take excess damage that didn't need to be taken. And you are selfish in thinking that item he looted only benefits you for the short while hes with you so he shouldn't get it over you. You are probably the person who thinks that warrior sucked because he took more damage than he should have or that he couldn't keep agro for anything. But hey that's just my opinion as a person who passes on almost all loot for people as upgrades even if it's a slight upgrade for me.
