I'm not saying I've never agreed to NBG or passed on a valuable items because I knew someone else would be better served to use it. Sometimes NBG does make sense in some scenarios. My problem with it is the persistent argument, and actual belief, that NBG is super fair and the most unselfish loot system. It's absolutely not. The people who generally support it and insist on using it tend to argue that it's the fairest system and that having everyone /random is super selfish and greedy. I wholeheartedly disagree and cannot comprehend that way of thinking. To me, logically, the fairest system is giving everyone who participated a fair shot at the loot.

You can lead a human to reason, but you can't make him think. Anybody who believes that NBG is fair is emoting rather than thinking. Priests, ministers, and other political hacks, not to mention stand-up comedians, actors championing various causes, mass-media scriptwriters, and an endless assortment of plutocrats and wannabe plutocrats, are all deeply indebted to such people for their livelyhoods.

People in self-admitted 'states of perpetual noobdom' expecting to be taken seriously. It's just as smug and absurd as a foreigner criticizing the customs of a foreign land. Yes, there is no map. That's the way it is. That's the way it will be. If you REALLY want to be a wise guy, the in game 'maps' weren't even maps -- it was a cartography tool with which you had to draw the maps yourself. So even if you didn't 'know' the zone before, you certainly knew it by the time you finished drawing the damn map.

But of course, you probably just went to eqmaps and downloaded a pre-drawn map pack. And that is what people are actually bitching about. Which just shows the absurdity of humoring these people for even a second because they just really don't understand how wrong they are.

"Shit's classic" is a catchphrase invented with the express purpose to rile up the people who can not understand the concept of, "No, that's not the way it is for an extraordinary gamut of reasons, and I can't be bothered to explain it to you because it would literally be a waste of breath." It's not a matter of cherry picking or this or that. Most of the time it boils down to "that would be great but this is the way it is get over it."
