(Glamour/Rapture excluded) --- no you noobs, Mesmerize is an Enchanter's best spell until ToT. It is so OP it is ridiculous. The memblur component alone really should be nuked. Was never that high on live.

Daldaen, please don't make me flog you, because it will hurt me just as much as it hurts you.

Also, if you would like to continue to refresh mez every 24 seconds instead of 1:36 when trying to lock a room down then you go right ahead. I'll do what I do.

Or roll and if you win give it to the person

Depends on the group, but yes to both of those options.

Once saw a player flip out because another guy did the roll/win/gift routine for a guildie, somehow it was "not fair" that two people were working to get an item for one while it was okay for them both to be in it strictly for themselves? Pixel Madness! Suspect the ballistic guy must be under age 25 or work for a religious organization or other political party to embrace such a hilarious emotional reaction in lieu of actual reason.

Luclin graphic hate is so strong here I'm positive its glow off the monitor causes some people physical pain.

empty quoting for Great Justice!

KC pipe should be randomed if a monk that is actually working on the epic (not buying it) needs it.

EC traders that don't respond to inquiries

that shaman in your group that wants to nuke, slow, melee, and tank but can't keep haste on the melee's and is always complaining he is oom

The ranger that refuses to root adds when the group is short on CC

people that want to NBG anything of significant value

pullers that snipe spawns/named/PH from another groups vicinity because they can (this hasn't happened to me re: a pawduster or anything). Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

people who respond to conflict with "you mad?" or "you rustled?" when they are clearly just being pricks.

Instance on "classic" instead of making the game better.

Around here, we call those people classholes. We all despise them.

The thing to remember is that, while NBG is a terrible loot distribution system, it's a fantastic social ice-breaker and guild recruitment tool. If you're being purely mercenary, /ran everything and hug your self-righteousness tight to try to keep warm in the cold, cold world of PixelQuest. If you're trying to make friends, be ready to NBG pretty much anything that isn't a really big deal.

I'm not saying I've never agreed to NBG or passed on a valuable items because I knew someone else would be better served to use it. Sometimes NBG does make sense in some scenarios and to be honest I probably agree with the concept and with using it more often then not. My problem with it is the persistent argument, and actual belief, that NBG is super fair and the most unselfish loot system. It's absolutely not. The people who generally support it and insist on using it tend to argue that it's the fairest system and that having everyone /random is super selfish and greedy. I wholeheartedly disagree and cannot comprehend that way of thinking. If you want to use NBG because you are pals and friends with everyone in the group, or because you just wanna be a nice guy/gal, then great! but don't argue that it's somehow less greedy or more fair. Logically giving everyone equal right to /random IS the only 100% fair system. Plain and simple.

The people who generally support it and insist on using it tend to argue that it's the fairest system and that having everyone /random is super selfish and greedy. I wholeheartedly disagree and cannot comprehend that way of thinking. To me, logically, the fairest system is giving everyone who participated a fair shot at the loot.

You can lead a human to reason, but you can't make him think. Anybody who believes that NBG is fair is emoting rather than thinking. Priests, ministers, and other political hacks, not to mention stand-up comedians, actors championing various causes, mass-media scriptwriters, and an endless assortment of plutocrats and wannabe plutocrats, are all deeply indebted to such people for their livelyhoods.

I refresh every 24 seconds when locking down Chardok Royals Hallway. I also happen to never run OOM or have trouble getting started again should I die when some unmentioned cleric think casting Celestial Elixir on me at 20% is sufficient healing.

When there's more, Mesmerization is king. Same deal but lock down four merbs with 50 mana. So many wow.

Just sayin'

Entrance is a happy medium. I use Entrance all the time. It's recast and mana is only slightly more than Mesmerize.
