I don't think it's greed if you need the item at the time and use it and then sell it later though...

Explain to me how it is any functionally different to equip an item right then or to sell it and get something you want. Explain to me how everyone rolling on everything in pick up groups is in any way not the best, most fair method for distributing loot, while simultaneously avoiding all of the scam artists and hypocrisies of nbg.

Everything is greed. There is no such thing as need in-game, and wanting an item for any reason is greed. Just because you want to think of greed as a negative word doesn't change anything.

Now if you're with a group of friends or guildmates, that's one thing. Although even that in a way is greed because you want the people you ride with to become stronger, so you can get more stuff. But a bunch of just random strangers? I don't trust any of them. And none of them need the worth of an item more than I do, and vice versa.

Simple. If it’s something that person actually needs at that moment in time, then I’m fine with them rolling on it. Sure, when Kunark or Velious come out they’ll probably end up replacing it. But if they use it for awhile then I have no issue with them rolling need on it.
