I can recall NBG from EQ back in the day, so to say it's loser WoW talk sounds kinda dumb to me.

It's rather contentious though. I would say if it's droppable it's rollable. Unless the group majority decides otherwise.

Can anyone seriously defend using NBG versus Greed?

Reasons why you should always use Greed in PUGS:

1. There is a slim to zero chance that the item drop is an end-game slot replacement for anyone in your group, regardless if they can currently wear/use it.
1A. If the item is not a finite replacement, it will inevitably be sold or traded.

2. On the premise that - melee become more powerful with levels & gear, casters become more powerful with levels and spells - Most item camps will favor the melee in your PUG, ignoring this and proceeding with NBG will deter needed casting classes from joining.

3. Why should you think anyone else in your PUG remotely wants you to, or needs you to get better gear at their expense? The idea that a PICK UP group should use NBG to ensure fair gear distribution is completely flawed given you likely will not group with these schmoes again - otherwise it wouldn't be a PUG.

Most folks go into PUGs not expecting much, the reason is that you often have a strange assemblance of classes/levels and skill level. That said, how would you feel in the situation where your PUG tank is completely slacking or just all around a bad player - then a tank item drops. So now not only has this idiot bothered you for the length of the group, perhaps even worsened the group overall, yet due to fucking NBG you must concede loot to him/her, when with little effort you could have sold it to benefit yourself.

I personally have been in ONE NBG group during my time on P99, and it was the KC group where the first ever Tranq Staff dropped. I conceded to allow the monk take it, however it was because he was an excellent player who fed our group experience with smart pulling, not because he was a monk.

No silly. I seem to be taking on new feats. I'm sorry my photos were not up to your standards. I figured with your boasting about how much money and how good looking your wife is. You would maybe throw me a bone or two like the rest of your possey.

I just want to point out that it makes them float. Way cooler than knockback.
