i never once saw need before greed in classic live

I saw it, but in random groups unless you spoke to the group about your need for a spell (not an item) then most the time the group was pretty cool about it.

Example of when I saw it more often:

Guild group, just after Velious was released. Spells dropped that someone in the group didn't have yet. If they needed it, they got it without question. If they already had it, we did a simple roll, and whoever won, sold it. If there was an item (mostly having to do with resist that was droppable) and it was a really nice upgrade for a guildy, then most the time we'd give it to them.

As for an item in a random group, no, NBG was NEVER in effect on live. Unless someone or the whole group 'passed' out of sympathy, but that is still not NBG
