I love all this kumbaya shit! Really no troll I do! It’s inspiring to see a bunch of white knights ‘rising above the pixel lust’ and supporting one another’s characters to help them reach their goals and achievements. Also incredible you’re all running into NBG groups as the ‘norm’

But seriously what p99 servers you guys on? LOL. I’d say it’s a 90/10 ratio on loot rules in pick up groups and that 10 being the percentage to utilize NBG. Maybe on live it was more 50/50 or even favoring NBG a bit.

The reason my opinion shifted from a fierce NBG supporter (for everything you guys have already mentioned) into a fierce ‘Everyone rolls for anything valuable’ is because having everyone roll is the fairest system. This way you’re not taking away a contributors ability to benefit from the kill. All members of the party get equal shot at the riches. No matter if the winner benefits via equipping or selling the item, the end results the same...character upgrades. The NBG mindset TOTALLY applies when the item is NO DROP because the only way anyone is benefiting from that kill are those who can EQUIP IT.

Now my opinion does stay NBG a bit more in regards to spells and words... unless the spell or word in question is worth 3x my net worth. Still tho I’d pass on Torpor for example if I was grouped with a 60 shaman that would scribe the thing on the spot. If he’s 59 tho probably not! He doesn’t technically need it at the time...

Lol see so I’m not exactly black and white on the topic either... and tbh will generally always be down to go along with NBG groups if that’s the groups majority opinion. Just maybe I wouldn’t be disillusioned into believing that by utilizing a NBG system you’re the Fair and Just Saint doing the ‘right’ thing in the scenario cause ehhhhhh, it can easily be debated that being fair to ALL is actually the right way to be excellent to everyone equally.
