Poll regarding King groups and the Staff...

[jilena]

People who claim NBG rights to anything are the worst kind of greedy people. I would avoid grouping with anyone who does this ever again.

500k item is 500k item. Whether you are going to equip it or sell it for 500k your desire for said item is equally "greedy". Making the assumption that your ability to directly use some item somehow supercedes the needs of everyone else in the group regardless of circumstance is selfish as hell. I guarantee you that some poor bastard in minimal gear is going to get more use out of a tstaff after selling it for 75k than some twinked to shit 3rd string monk alt that has only been able to fork over the cash for a peacebringer thus far. I mean srsly.

This whole need before greed shit is way out of control. If you wanna selflessly help your friend get whatever item they need, feel free! Way to be a good friend! However, guilt tripping random strangers into giving you preference on loot based solely on your ability to use an item is silly.

This is generally how NBG ends up getting abused - I never did understand the NBG in a pick up group anyway. In a group with guildmates, in-game friends - it is a non issue, whoever "needs" it gets it.

In NBG - other than a warm glowy EQ_Theresa feeling (which a lot of those pontificating others on the virtue of NBG seem to thrive on), you more often than not see that item in EC sooner or later (being sold by the "needer" heh).

Greed roll is way more fairer to everyone in the group - with a resonable agreement on not rolling on every item if you won one.

I read up til the post that said this is mostly about if someone already got a staff from a different group and they should pass on a staff in a new group.

If I group with people, win a staff, then stash it on an alt, thats my choice. If I continue in the same camp to get another to sell or use for a different alt, again, thats my choice. If I win 5 million of these staves, with different groups, I have no reason to share with a new group if I want 5 million and one. I dont mind helping out other people and Ill admit to being a loot whore first thing when I join a group (due to being the corpse clearer in most games).

Greedy on my part? Perhaps, but each group is a new/different group of people. I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing. If I win the roll, good for me, I got me a new shiny item to boost my assests. If I lose the roll to someone who can use it or will sell it, good for them, cuz they just boosted their assests. This game is (for me) fun because of the community and socialization aspects. You get what you give most of the time.

Everything that is wrong in MMOs is the result of greedy people. Everything. Even things like lag.
