But seriously if you are on your 9th twink alt and you are demanding to roll on cheap junk against a newbie in rags you are probably scum.
It happens..

what's your definition of need? from the screenshot, it looks like the guy could use a resist neck piece.

you're also not providing any context aside from a guy in mediocre bard gear requesting a solid resist piece. what does the rest of the group have? what is the rest of his gear like? did anyone else in the group "need" it?

it kind of sounds like you're just being a judgmental asshole who's humiliating this person for no good reason, but i know the loveable swish would never stoop that low

The fact of the matter is that most people support looting rules that benefit them. At low levels established players are usually willing to let poor newbies take the trash because for many of them selling something worth less than 100pp isn't worth the effort.

It's when you start getting valuable items that people's attitudes change. I've seen people roll on everything one night then freak out the next night when someone else does the same. I've seen someone beg for help to camp an fbss for example, who got help and was given the fbss come along the next week when someone else wanted to camp something then demanding to roll when it dropped.

It's all bout that pixel greed bb's

You missed me saying you can get a +9 MR necklace if you really need the MR? Bards don't need str.

If I see a guy twinked to the teeth trying to call "need" on MM loot then something's up. This is one of the things wrong with the server. Just out of the picture is a shaman in rags.

In a separate group last week we handed out a froggie robe that dropped in disco to a mage in an advisor robe... that's how we should be playing. Not calling need on stuff we'll either barely use or are straight up going to hit the tunnel with afterwards.

who are you to tell players what stats they need? the guy is obviously going the melee route and can use the str/ac.

who are you to tell people how they should be playing? you and all of the other pixel welfare advocates all have a common theme: "i enjoy playing this way and so should everyone else. BUT DON'T TELL ME HOW I SHOULD PLAY THE GAME"

if the shaman in rags is just out of the picture, why isn't he calling "need"?

and regarding your more recent post: how exactly is /ran 100 shutting out players from getting gear? get a grip
