Tranquil Staff: Need Before Greed?

[Splorf22]

I really don't understand the naming of NBG. I mean, greed rolls are absolutely fair: each player gets an even shot at every item. Meanwhile 'need' is horribly unfair: one person gets the item, and everyone else gets 0.

That said I do have a bit of a soft spot in my heart for people who don't treat the game like a job measured in pp/hour and actually try to loot items off the mobs they kill as opposed to buying them EC. But that is the argument against greed rolls, not that its somehow more fair - it isn't.

TL;DR: join a guild and group with them as much as possible.
