What have you given me? Giving things to others is a nice thing to do. I try to help those I can when I can. But i'm new to the server and not rich so I can only do so much.

Couldn't even tell ya. I hand out enough items that I couldn't even try and keep track of what I give who, but sometimes I remembers people's names. Yours is one of them. Maybe I haven't given you anything but I know at the least I've given you (and your pet?) buffs before.

But thinking someone in a group that already has an item should roll greed for another over someone that could use it is pure greed (or even hasn't gotten one yet if its a really rare item). Greed is greed. No way to mask it any other way.

Remember, we're not talking about cheap items worth a couple k or less, we're talking about stuff worth amounts of plat that can be game changing for the person. I'm not talking about everyone free rolling the 400p Sarnak Hide Mask that just dropped when the rogue really wants it, no one cares about that. I'm talking about when the Tstaff drops that can fetch 80k and allow me to get a fungi tunic for my shaman (the shaman that contributed to the Tstaff dropping.) Somehow it's not greedy for the lone monk in the group to demand the item go straight to him, but it's greedy for me to say we should all get a roll at it? I could use that Tstaff to uber upgrade my character just like the monk can, the only difference is I need to do a couple extra steps (sell staff, buy items) and somehow the fact that extra steps are added suddenly makes it greedy?

Why should someones greed for plat go before someones need for an item?

No one's "greed" for plat comes first, that's why EVERYONE in the group gets a chance to roll. The "greed" for plat coming first would be if I was saying that the people who would sell the item should get priority. I'm not saying that, I'm saying EVERYONE should get an equal chance at the loot. That is the exact opposite of greed and the epitome of fair.
