Click disband. I'm sick and fucking tired of people bitching about someone winning multiple drops. Items vary in value too much for trade-up looting to make any sense. If someone rolls and wins a Hierophant's Cloak, yes they get to roll and win level 60 spells from the Emperor. That's how it works. I won't allow people to corpse items if they're lore, but as far as I'm concerned someone can roll and win every non-lore drop in my group and if you bitch about it I'm going to drop you.
First off, the group that this post stems from was not even your group to lead. You did not form the group. You did not assume leadership at any point during the group after you joined. That simple fact alone says "Shut up."

Second, as others have already pointed out in one way or another, such an act is greedy. It has nothing to do with equal value, and using the argument that items aren't the same value as an excuse for one person to get MORE value is a level of stupidity that shames even the lowest of life forms. It's about trying to allow everyone in the group to walk away with something to reward them for their contribution. On the very rare occasions that I win something of even mediocre value, I pass on everything from that point on unless: A) Most of the group is replaced. B) It's a rot item no one really cares about. C) It's an item I want more, at which point I offer up the item I previously won if I happen to win the new drop.

You argued that everyone "should have a fair chance at drops" and the like. That's true. What you don't seem to understand is when a valuable item drops and you win it, you had a fair chance and used it up by winning something. Others still haven't won anything. You no longer have a "fair" shot left. Anything you attempt to roll for from that point on without some kind of drastic change to the group or compromise is an act of pure selfishness beyond just trying to better one's character through an upgrade or money for upgrades.

Your guildy won a cloak. Congratulations to him. No problems there. The moment he rolled on a 60 spell or anything else of decent value, however, he threw a big "fuck you" into the faces of everyone else in the group, especially the guy who would have won otherwise. If you want to suck his dick over it, go ahead, but you're still wrong. As of this post, I think it's safe to say you've reached twat status.

Isn't the better question, why aren't you there with the character that needs it?
You do have some type of concept of how my guild raids, right? I don't have all of my characters at my disposal all of the time.

Camping at spawns aside,... are you saying someone should be punished for playing the class a group needs or their other alt?

I think it's fair to say that: If you have an alt of every class over level 5 you should be able to need before greed on every item that drops. Be fair people, alts are people two~

I would feel like an utter asshole rolling on and winning other nice items if I'd just won a heiro. How can people do that without even a twinge of guilt or even worse, come and post about it in RnF with righteous indignation as if the rest of the group were assholes for wanting a fair chance at good loot. Some people are just un-fucking-believable.

Maybe if I'd won a Hiero or Fungi I wouldn't. Random everything else, even if only one person goes home with all the loots. Don't care if the RNG hates me, you, your mom, sister, grandma... whatever.
