Threads like this remind some of us old-time MMORPGers why we really shouldn't bother with this server/game with no built-in Need/Greed rolling system. This "I NEED that!!1" argument for an in-game item that can be sold by anybody in the group is just absurd. That FBSS that just dropped in our PuG can upgrade a heluva lot of my gear just as much as the melee that pull that self-righteous "I NEED that!!1" garbage. I'd say some selfish turd pulling the "Need" card would be much more likely to get a crappy reputation than the others in the group demanding that everybody roll for the valuable item that dropped.
Of course, as many above have said, in all-friend or guild groups NBG pretty much goes without saying. But I played more than enough years of EQ to see those "Need" kids get the FBSS by default, then be strangely "WTS FBSS 3K PP" in EC an hour later to never fall for that stuff again, and we all know lots of people on this server are 2-boxing with auction mules in EC all day and night long.
