Tranquil Staff: Need Before Greed?

[Heebo]

Oddly enough, my views on whether or not Tstaff should be NBG fluctuate wildly depending on whether or not I'm playing a monk.

[Dragonzord]

well we can all agree these situations can be avoided by discussing loot rights BEFORE the shit drops. sucks that people need then go and sell, really takes a hit to the NBG party.

I have formed a ton of seb groups, I always make sure to get an agreement by all that loot is ffa random, anyone can roll. Of course if you get a big ticket item like SBC or RBG then you're out on loot rolls from that point on.

I think I lost out on about 7 random before I finally won a rbg, but that's the name of the game. Need before greed is not the way to go on p1999 in my opinion. Heck one of my coolest friends on p1999 won a fungi and rbg over me, no buggy though he won out with higher rolls. That's how it goes and that's what's fair in my opinion. Everyone gets a fair shot, I seriously can't see how that can be argued as greedy.

Now, this seems to me like that's what should happen. 6 players in the group and only 1 monk, using an imbued fighters staff. The T staff is an upgrade for the monk. What are the server rules in this situation? I don't want to just ninja the T staff but I definately don't think that other group members have the same rights to it as I do. Ideas?

If you did that, the other players would probably petition it and the GMs involved would probably take the item from you, give it to the group you just stole from, and suspend you for a week. If you have a history of doing such things, it might rarely go for a permaban. There's a lot of precedent for such actions.

What you described is the literal meaning of ninja looting.

About a year ago, I made a group of my own in KC. I explained to everyone who accepted the invite that if the tstaff dropped, it was being NEEDED on and a roll would not be an option. 30 minutes into the group, I pulled the mob who had the tstaff in hand.

It went to me, with grats from the group.

If you want to secure your drop as an upgrade, create YOUR OWN group, from scratch, and explain the rules prior to inviting anyone. If someone even as much as hesitates to accept the rule, move on and invite someone else.

What your describing is NINJA LOOTING and will result in the reputation of your character being shit on by the server because a post will likely be made here as soon as it happens. You'll also likely lose the staff and access to your account for some time. If you want the staff, do it the right way, like I explained above.

man, what are the chances of finding a group that are big enough tools to camp for tstaff and not have a chance at it?

That sounds like something a monk would do. Presumably due to FD, the class frequently attracts those that prefer not to have any consequences for their regular short-sighted, selfish actions.

The funny thing about NbG is that after level 50, it's only greedy people that like it. Especially monks, T-staffs, RBGs, SoSs, SBCs, a monk needs it all! Can you name that 30k caster item that drops in PUGs? Closest thing I think would be a hiero cloak, and I'm guessing most monks on the server also "need" that.
