Most groups I have been in have honored need before greed. I'm always an advocate for it, and will either voluntarily sit out of rolls on items I can't use - or roll on them and give them away to another group member if I win (if there's no other option because everyone wants to greed roll).

I don't really think need before greed stops at a certain plat value. That's kind of stupid. From the perspective of a Warrior, I can't farm plat worth a damn, but several other classes can. Paying 7k for a Yak or 15k for an FBSS is a tall order when your main is a Warrior and you can't play 40 hours a week.

If everyone did the need before greed thing, YES we would camp items that we don't need because it wouldn't take as long as it does to get what we need. What reason do I have to camp the FBSS if I already have one? I'm free at that point to tank for a group camping a caster item.

Somebody said it should be one way or the other server wide, while that's a pipe dream I sort of agree with it. You can't just change it to suit your needs. If we all embraced need before greed, we would get what we need. If we all just greed rolled and sold everything, we would all make plat and buy what we need. If we do a combination of both, expectations get set and people get disappointed.
