Tranquil Staff: Need Before Greed?

If the T staff would have dropped I was going to grab it and never look back, whether people roll or not.

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?

Everyone should /roll

As most said, it should be established with the group on what loot system will be used.

I like NBG, but only if it is what the group decides they want.
A 30k item is very nice and could help anyone.. Maybe there is a lvl 50 SK in the group who is poorly geared and is a main - how would he ever get pp to gear himself if his group gives the 30k item automatically to a single member? That works great for you, being the monk, but something that is worth that much could benefit anyone.

All in all, discuss with your group before hand and work things out before an item drops and causes a problem.

Why is this even a thread? In RL that person would have his ass whipped.

Wait until he starts camping his pipes.

NBG is reasonable when a camp has a relatively equivalent value item for everyone there.

That is almost never the case.

Draw your own conclusions.

tl dr but dude you are a monk. just train the shit out of everyone who cares about a staff.

Wow after reading this thread i dont think i want to bother leveling up a toon on this server. no NbG?? you people are all a bunch of greedy people. If someone is at a camp and can use the item they should get it. If you don't want to camp that camp then dont but denying someone a upgrade cause you want to sell it for plat is stupid and greedy. If you want loot to use then camp the mob you need. I would never roll on a Tstaff or any item somone else in group could use.

Camps dont have equivalent loot for each class. This isn't like WoW.

If it takes a FULL group of people hours of camping to get a valuable piece of equipment to drop, why should everyone else not even get a fair shake at it?

Because the Monk can use it? How do you know he didn't just equip a crap weapon when he entered, to play the "i need the upgrade" story? I guarantee you 100% that it happens.

So, somehow the Monk wants the TStaff to upgrade his character, and that's noble and just, but the other group members who want to roll on an expensive item to sell and upgrade their characters ... somehow those guys are pretentious little shits?

Uh .... no. Everyone wants to upgrade their characters, and everyone should get the chance.

Who says that only 1 item is gonna drop from the camp while your there? If your just farming for gear then make sure everyone in group is cool with greed loots. Personally i would never roll against someone in group that NEEDS the item. I can make plat many other ways then selling a item someone in group would USE.

Good for you.

Establish loot rules first. Extremely high value items like that, I'll roll every time. I've been there just as long, I contributed just as much, and I deserve as much a shot at that item as anyone.

That's greedy? So when the monk is done with that T-Staff, I assume he'll look up the 5 other people in the group and give them a share of the money when he sells it? Yeah, I bet.
