At lvl 55+, I've seen a super rare 100k shaman spell go to a monk alt on a /random, even though there was a shaman main in group who needed that spell and had been camping it for a week.

Right, but this exactly identifies why NBG es no bueno.

So a Monk wins Torpor when the Shaman in group needs it. Well, that monk can sell it and buy his entire epic MQ. This is why high value drops are never ever done via NBG unless between guild mates or good friends.

How can you justly say the Shaman deserves his needed spell, over the Monk who needs to purchase his epic MQ?

that moment you're in a pug group with a bunch of random strangers and the shaman thought he was entitled to NBG a 100k spell that dropped

I agree with the system. I was going to add, but decided not to, that who knows, the shaman might turn around and sell it and be back at the camp the next day, too. Maybe that shaman is saving for an epic for a new main.

I don't like the random everything rule in pug's, but now that I've thought about it for a few years (!!) it really is necessary on this server. Harsh but true, eh?

Another argument for why getting into a solid guild of cool people, and doing guild groups when possible, is a whole other gameplay experience!

free for all on vendor trash drops, just be courteous if you see other people looting it too don't take everything yourself

i don't /autosplit because #1 more often than not, monks will complain about added weight and #2 who cares

greed is the general rule on high value drops, unless you request a NBG policy when you form/join your group and the entire group agrees
