So you get it and its an upgrade, 3 weeks later you buy tolampuj's robe and you sell the bonecaster robe. unless you plan on tracking those people down and distributing that plat, i say you're the asshole in the situation.

Saw some monk NBG a tranq staff years ago. He lost roll and threw a fit, so the group gave it to him.

2 days later saw him selling it in EC.

NBG sucks and I don't blame people for not doing it.

I was in a Chardok AoE group some time ago and a Stave of Shielding dropped (valued around 30k at the time). The group decided that it was deserving to give it to our monk/puller, as it was relatively his BiS at the time. That monk was Option, who later joined our guild and was one of the best assets to Forceful Entry and one of our most talented members.

I love NBG, when I get invited into a group I would bring some cheap gear and switch out the pieces when the item drops to get it. Then I would switch back, and sell it.

Always nice to get some perspective from the average TMO player. This guy allowed a monk item to go to a monk 3 years ago. What a stellar guy.

Is this is the part where I link the posts that TMO have made where they are selling all the epic loot MQs that they have denied from the rest of the server since just after the beginning of Kunark?

Not a fan of NBG outside of guild. I would probably drop group if I was in a PuG that demanded it, and I'll explain from personal experience why.

Back when I was first leveling Castigate I got into an amazingly lucky FM giant fort group. This was back when the GER was still dropping in late 2012. I think that it wasn't supposed to drop anymore at the time but still was? Anyways I was in a group with some guys that I had grouped with a bunch before, we were all noobs with pretty much no gear and had agreed to NBG stuff. Now at that particular camp this was a huge advantage to our monk and warrior, being the only 2 that would need a GER if it dropped; and it did, for both of them. 2 GERs in about 4-6 hours out there, and they went need to our warrior and monk as the rest of the group was all casters. At the time I was fine with this. Sure it would have been nice to get the 7k it was selling for and upgrade literally every slot, but I had grouped with these guys before and we were all bros.

2-3 days later I was in EC and the warrior was selling his GER. A ring he had been given by the group with trust, and a ring that could have been traded in the exact same manner to buy upgrades by anyone else in the group.
Dunno what the monk did with his, and it doesn't really matter. It was a good lesson, and in fact I've always valued that much higher than the 7k item which should have been rolled for.

TLDR: item = plat = item(s), therefore everyone "needs" everything. Don't get too hung up on getting an item from the source, we've been in Kunark so long that anything can pretty easily be converted to anything else of similar value in EC.
