Yup. To be honest we always did NBG from what I recall on Tunare, and even Drinal. That it didn't happen on other servers does not surprise me. Guild dominated servers had not as tight a community I think. I count myself fortunate to have played where I did.

WRONG. They made more items no drop in EQ PRIOR to WoW.

If its need before greed you'll get an overrepesentation of classes that can use the loot in that camp. Maybe that adds flavor to the zone? I'd prefer it if everything was a greed roll personally. But then you would end up buying all of your gear in EC, and you lose some of hte fun of camping a specific item so you can use it. Then again, camping every item you'll use takes forever. Its far more efficient to just make money and buy everything in EC.

Need before greed works best when you only play with the same group of friends. If one person becomes more powerful from winning the roll that helps you too because he will make the group stronger. Also, you'll be able to talk about where you want to hunt to move the group to a place that drops items that fit your class.

No on NGB, not in pugs... if i'm with friends then sure, hell if i'm in a pug and an item my friend wants drops i'll roll on it with the intention of giving them it.

I think it depends on the items value.

As much as I need that FBSS as a monk, it is worth too much to not random on. Not to mention, that is why everyone is there, including the cleric.

Dollar dollar bills yall.

When I was a player here and leveling up, the groups I joined were almost always NBG.


Then again, I leveled up when 500 max population was a huge thing and the Andain stories entertained us for hours and hours.

This thread illustrates why everything has to be greed if you're like me and just do pickup groups. So few people actually NBG that I'm compelled to greed on everything cause I know if I'm in a group and something drops that I need some twinked douche is gonna demand greed. Therefor, I have to be a dick to everyone else and greed so I can improve my gear. Also, people lie too much.

Its sad cause its 10x more fulfilling to loot an item than it is to buy it. I'd prefer NBG, but greed is too well established on here.
