Are you just irritated that somebody was generous? Why would that be?

It probably mattered to them if they got the spell or not because Torpor is a pretty liquid 100k+ and thats lots and lots and lots and lots of hours of playing. The other group members were probably there to make cash too.

I'm not irritated somebody was generous. I give away free items to noobs 500-1k at least a few times a week.

I just find NBG in group situations, immoral.

But they lost the roll... so how would they make 100k?

It's the idea that the Shaman needed it so he got it that I don't tend to like. It's in the spirit of NBG. I find it immoral.

He got it because the person who won the roll believed in NBG (and was nice, to boot). Nothing to do with the others at all.

He wasn't being very considerate towards the rest of his team that were grinding then.

He could of split that like 25k each for everyone. I'd be pissed if I were a group mate there.

You win the roll you can /destroy the fucking spell if you want to. It's his pixel, and he can do what he wants with it... La la la

Exactly. He chose to use his roll to give the spell to the shaman when he could have just EC'd the thing for 100k and pocketed the entirety. The rest of the group are owed nothing, as they rolled, and lost.

I'd be less upset if he destroyed the spell because that means someone didn't get it over me.

Been reading Ayn Rand lately?

Well, your objection on the basis of you considering NBG immoral does not apply, since it was not a NBG group policy that was operating ebcuase it was AFTER the roll. You did say 'in the spirit of' though, so you probably get this part, but you can't say anything about what motivated the person. You don't have to be rational, you can just not like it because you just don't like it, but usually people have a coherent reason.

I do think you can say something about what motivated him based on the person he gave torpor to. I'd say my argument is predicated on the idea that the team mates deserved it as much as the shaman but the rogue gave it to the shaman out of some sort of need before greed spirit. Maybe I'm wrong on that but I would find it very unlikely.
