I would like to think that I'm in a big guild and I will definitely say that I have won my fair share of wins (looking for 1 more!), but every roll I have won has been looted by myself. With the proposal of 'you win you do what you want' I can definitely see the bigger guilds coming in to out-roll (by numbers) smaller groups or individuals, and/or those who don't need or want to greed sell their win. If you think there are a lot of people at Scout now just wait for the numbers to explode. Keeping the roll 'you win you loot' will keep these numbers down for those who actually want the upgrade. Once I get another bracer I never want to see Scout again.
I do love seeing an unguilded toon who otherwise would have no chance of winning against the giants on their own come up with a pretty decent piece of gear as much as seeing a raid level toon looking to max out their resists. I'll congratulate either just the same on a job well done and notate +10 hours for the next cycle.
To me turning up to an item you don't need is the same as those who farm AC rings or Fungis or such - you know the person who is there every f$%#ing day to farm multiple drops to sell when they could just let the camp go to someone else who needs it. It becomes a vicious cycle of person A farms item to sell and person B has to farm pp to buy item from person A causing person C who would exp/use drops person B is killing to go and kill player D's mobs etc.
It's a game, play to have fun but don't play at someone else's expense. Grow the F$%k up.
