Ninja looted by Zoolex

[Salty]

Stop being a random scrub on p99 and get some friens.

Problem solved.

4k isnt worth getting put on the "dont group with list" imo

Can people just stop doing NBG groups so things like this wouldn't happen. NBG is dumb on anything worth decent value.

Anyway, what is funny is that the druid who won the roll could probably make a more legitimate claim to NBG than the tank who ninjad the ring. The druid didn't have a ring, and I am guessing that the tank already had some rings and just wanted an upgrade. Not only that, +STR aint really important for a tank, but how many casters out there get tired of dealing with encumbrance?

So, to me it looks like the druid won both NBG and rolls.

This. Spending your game life encumbered sucks. That spells need as well as any other case that can be made in an RPG.

Zoolex tells the group, 'fucking druid'

Am I missing something? Some of you people are apparently confusing the timeline right now. Re-read the group-chat window. Bargearse states that the roll is NBG. Upon the random, Bargearse, Morbo, and Shri all seemingly express confusion over the fact that a druid would roll on the ring. The druid then defends the roll by stating that he isn't wearing a ring. It was clearly an NBG situation as far as the group was concerned -- everyone knew it, including the druid. He's trying to play it off as a 'need' roll. If you're all seriously claiming that a druid rolling NBG on a Gem Encrusted Ring is legitimate because he didn't have a ring slot, you're being absurd.

It's a melee ring. It's totally legitimate for a tank to roll NBG on it -- it's 10ac, 7 strength. Is it better than 5ac/55hp? Meh, probably not for tanking, especially at lower levels, but a tank is also a melee -- and in the event that he's not the main tank (on a raid, in a poorly formed group, etc), this is best in slot for him. How do you defend NBG on a 10ac, 7 strength ring for a druid? Seriously? Buy a damn silver jasper ring -- it costs 10 platinum and it's better for you than a GER. But this guy probably has jasper rings bagged, anyway. Just remind me to un-equip my rogue's boots next time I land a spot in an Efreeti group. NBG on GEBs guys, I don't have a foot slot.

You people are misdirecting your anti-greed rants. It was poor form to ninja loot either way, but that roll should have been disallowed.

I didn't miss that -- you're missing the point. The fact that the guy called for a roll doesn't mean it wasn't NBG. Everyone in the group, INCLUDING THE DRUID, acknowledges that it's NBG. Three different people, not including Zoolex, say something to the effect of "Huh? Why is the druid rolling?" At which point, the druid explains that he has a right to NBG roll because he doesn't have a ring slot. It's ridiculous.

Look, there are two parts to this equation:

#1 - do you agree that the group was rolling NBG? Based on the group chat, there should be no debate over this.

#2 - does a druid actually have a right to NBG roll on a Gem Encrusted Ring? I guess this is debatable, but if you seriously believe the druid would have rolled on this if it was no drop, you're 'tarded.

No, obviously there is debate over this because Zoolex himself said roll if you want it. Probably the loot rules weren't really established, or else why the hell would he say that?
