"Need before greed"

[Tiax]

When blue first launched, every group I was in was NBG and it was cool and good because the server population was very small and it added to the sense of community and everyone helping each other out.

Everyone who disagrees with me is a special snowflake (this is your brain on Fox News).

[DMN]

They closed the politics thread in offtopic, and as you can see horza has the shakes.

I'm not the one comparing pixels to government subsidies and calling people snowflakes, am I?

My question is if that new guy shows up and sits there for 6 more hours and no phat lewt drops, are you going to let them roll on the phat lewt you guys got before he joined?

Didnt you guys read the other thread ?

Just roll an enchanter and never be bothered to roll on loot again

No and RNG sucks and that's why I hate it and would never include it in a game if possible. Unless it has thresholds where it automatically drops after a "string of bad luck". Which could even be varied where you have multiple thresholds or rolls that cascade and get more common until a guaranteed drop. But even then.

I farmed warlord for 6+ hours last night because it was ok exp and he didn't drop a single bracer (even though its low level loot, still). Then today I killed him a couple more times, still didn't drop it. Soon as I grouped with someone to duo he dropped it and I lost the roll. Nothing against the guy who won it but @#%%^ RNG. There are better solutions although maybe it still has some uses.

right, so if someone else has bad luck it's not your problem;if you have bad luck it's someone else's problem.

I bet if you were camping an item and ended up grouped with some guy who says he's been camping it 10 times longer than you, it's not going to sway your intent to want to random for it with them when it drops the next round is it?

Of course i'm going to roll for it because if the roles are reversed then that's what I let them do.

I literally just told you, "nothing against him" when he won the bracer. I didn't say to him, "hey you should give me that cause blahblahblah". I sincerely said grats because he won it like he deserved. The fact that I farmed it by myself before that is irrelevant. He was there for the kill that dropped it so he deserved to roll.

Raids are the exception as explained above.

So stop with this nonsense of whatever you're trying to do. I support whats justified and i'm usually on the generous side. But at the same time I shouldn't be expected to just give everything away just like anyone else.
