"Need before greed"

[mischief419]

Makes 0 sense unless no drop. Not only does it have equal value to everyone,

* You can sell it and get something you NEED
* The guy that needs it may go immediately sell it
* If it's not best-in-slot, he WILL eventually sell it (it's not like he's going to find his original group to /random since he doesn't need it anymore)
* There's a good chance the guy you're rolling against is a twink. If this is your first char, esp, you need it [to sell] wayy more than the twink.

Eg, Ghoulbane. "I'm a paladin". Yea right, so many times I see these guys come back the next day with an SBS to try to pull that crap more than once, either selling or tossing on mule. Or maybe they'll have best in slot for everything *except* Ghoulbane.

Spells are expensive. Tradeskills are expensive. Need crap to sell to afford this stuff.

Unless they specifically say "need group" BEFORE you join, all drops are greed rolls. Don't need it immediately? Sell it and get something you need and have the same, inherent worth.
