Ninja looted by Zoolex

No, it's really not. Every single person in the group, including the druid, knew it was NBG. There are three different group members, Zoolex not included, that have posted in this thread saying exactly that. In the screenshot, the druid defends his roll on the basis of NBG. Everyone knew it was NBG.

Then NBG it was. By the way, can you clarify how you know this druid didn't need it? Where you in his mind or something? If he reckons he needs it (as long as he can use it) then he needs it and is entitled to roll on it, end of story. I'm not aware of anyone on the server who would have been granted some kind of supreme decisive power enabling them to decide for others what they are allowed to need or want. Did I miss something?

You mentionned Democracy in page 5, yet you want to instigate a system where some can decide the needs of others... You also seem to be a very proud citizen of the USA (nothing wrong with that) so may I ask you a question: were you involved in any way, shape or form into determining the foreign policy of your previous President because I certainly see some similarities between your way of thinking? I guess you weren't and simply didn't realise how incoherent what you wrote was. I'll stop this point right here as I suspect it is more appropriate for the Off Topic forum and I don't want to derail Justin's post.

Back to the topic: tell you what, I'd bet my shirt that if I track Zoolex and inspect him, he doesn't wear the ring.

I'll second two things that have been said:
First it's CAWU or FFA (I don't remember seeing NBG in a group until way later in EQ, don't ruin my Classic experience :P)
Secondly, remember PUG = Thug, Mate = Donate

From this last point, I can only conclude that:
- Zoolex is a thug (or a ninja if that makes any semantic difference in this context)
- You guys didn't abide by your own way of thinking: why rolling if you reckon you're not entitled to it? It's pretty easy to try to make it look good afterward by saying you were rolling for Zoolex. Maybe you were, maybe you weren't. I tend to believe the later.
- Justin, you have been a fool but hey ho, at least you learned a lesson the hard way: don't try to mix PUB and any form of NBG. If it's droppable, roll fot it but by the same token don't cry if a warrior wins some GEB over you ^_^

Anyway, I'm back to eating some cookies.

So it appears to be more about trade value than use value on this particular item.

[baalzy]

GER has high AC and a good amount of Str for a ring slot. It's a nice twink item for DPS'ing but will likely be replaced at end-game because other gear + buffs will put you at 255 str anyways. However, since it eventually gets removed entirely from the game the value of it has inflated. Once the devs flip the switch, no more of these rings will enter the game and the total number in circulation will only decrease since some will inevitably be destroyed by people quitting the game or what have you.

Forest loop is a great ear-piece for any wis caster, the highest I've seen it on sale for was 1k and it's just as common at the moment as the GER. Why isn't it selling for 5k+? Because it will always drop so its perceived value is lower, because more can always be farmed if need be.

But you're correct Giddian, your typical player (even if they're a DPS class) is likely to get more benefit out of selling the ring and buying different equipment than keeping the ring for personal use.

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.

If it was a NBG group why was there even a call to roll? Need would mean you need it more. Normally I would say you link what your replacing (or not in the case of the druid) and decide who needs it more.

As soon as a call to roll is made all bets are off IMO, greed just took over.

Are PUGs defaulting T-staffs to Monks now as a general rule? Just wondering.

[Bruno]

Yes.

Just roll a monk or buy one with plat and you will get one.
