You're not going to find many pug's doing KC that are going to play with the idea that if a t-staff drops its automatically going to 1 person in the group, when everyone there is putting in equal time and effort. Best to join a guild, and group with guildies for this sort of thing.

me and my boss both work 8 hour work days. He makes 10x as much as me....but we both put in the same time and effort.

always been NBG. and honestly if you say you camp T-staff for cash, 9/10 youd get PP faster from farming PP, not item camping. l0l ppl so selfish over pixels.

Uh yeah...the difference is your boss is more qualified (in theory) and put in more effort to get into the position he is in, so he gets more money. Grouping with someone, and having them need a t-staff to actually equip doesn't mean they are any more deserving of it than i am when the asset is completely liquid and can be an equal upgrade to both of us. I fail to see your point.

Sometimes it sucks, but it's a fair system and it works. A while ago I'm in a Sebilis group, Cobalt Vambs drop, I don't have them. Nobody even thinks twice about /random 100. It's automatically assumed, it's a 6-7k item, people want the plat. I lose the roll and move on. A week later, Obulus Death Shroud drops, I roll and win. No intention of wearing it, I sold it. It all works out in the end.

But you know what really grinds my gears? People who roll and win something, then they immediately roll again when another item of comparable value drops... Not even offering to throw their other item back into the roll. Why roll again when you already won something? But usually that's just because nobody is taking charge to enforce loot rules.

imo this is a far bigger problem than the OP's rant. ive always suggested in my groups that once you win something, you opt out of rolls until everyone has won something. if another item drops that you want more than the one youve won, then you roll on the new item and if you win it then the first item goes back up for grabs

54 players online on Red on a Saturday night. You know what else i can do if i don't want to have to worry about drama and bitching? Create my own server and play alone, not much difference than what I'd be doing by rolling on Red. Face it, your server will never be populated, no matter how many crying posts you make on blue forums.

This thread just sums up the stark contrasts between this server and an actual EQ server from 1999.

If you took a Tranquil staff while grouped with a monk who needed it back in 2000, your characters would have been blacklisted, if multiple people in the group had rolled on it and they decided whoever rolled the highest deserved it to sell instead of the monk who was going to use it, they would have all been blacklisted.

Having money to spend is not a need, having a new weapon that will greatly increase your DPS, which is 90% of a monks job, is a nice upgrade, and a need.

Same goes for a fungi tunic, though we all know that most people camping the fungi here usually aren't there for their first one. This server just has a bunch of min/maxers that think 30k in their pocket of disposable income is just as important as a monk's primary source of damage being upgraded. Hardly.

Of all classes, a monk. If someone made the mistake of making that for their first main here, unless they happened upon many frugal opportunities along their way up to 51/52 whatever the OP was, they're going to be dead broke.

A weapon that is an upgrade that they will be able to sell for a nice chunk of change after it gets replaced later on > selling the weapon for the SAME chunk of change without getting a single second of use out of it

I am pretty sure most of us have accepted Red is a failure and we need not talk about such things. Let us sweep that one under the rug and never bring it up again. Please.

red was a good server , and it had potential but the people on it ruined it

release day i played for 5 mins then quit due to horrible exp , not going to grind that out to deal with griefing , better things to do , i showed up 3 months later and gave it a go , got into my 40s and saw how selfish everyone was , and how no one gave a shit except nilly

joined nilly , watched them exploit , mentioned it in vent , was gibbed on a vox raid , quit 2 days later.

came back a month ago for 2 weeks had fun , exp got slow , game over.

currently playing minecraft in search of new game

the quest continues pals

Your monk doesn't actually need the Tstaff. You can play without it.

Stop presenting it like everyone owes you something. There is not a comparable item for any other class in that zone. Stop acting like its fair to go to a monk. Its not fair, unless its a friend/guildy.

Its not really need before greed, its still greed.
