Sometimes you win a few items, sometimes you win none, that's the nature of RANDOM systems.

I've been in a lot of pickup groups here and 99% of them have been very friendly affairs. Just establish the rules beforehand.

I guess you lost a roll on something today and that got you pissed off enough to come here to vent?

I can see someone who wins 3-5 things a group saying its fair but not the person winning nothing because a loot system like this.

No I'm making a point that people go by a loot rule like this are loot whores and this wasn't the loot rules of live. What if I go a week without winning anything and at the same time someone making 15k because the loot system is that way? the random system is there so people can random to win a item not to set the consesus of loot rules.. It's not like because you can random that the loot consesus is random...

lol @ this comming up again in yet another form..... Personally, I have always set my groups as gbn even back in classic, it just makes more sense for EVERYONE in the group.

Basically....

Why is it so hard for people to understand that everyone in the group typically wants to have the same chances at getting an upgrade?

Why is it so hard for people to set loot rules prior to heading to a camp? Or even to call people out that are loot whoring, taking the majority of vendor trash, spam pickpocketing, etc?

Every time i see one of these threads it usually turns out that the OP ends up being inept at one of two things: Basic Math or Social Skills

Then you were a loot whore even back in live... People who keep saying it makes more sense for everyone in the group are full of it. How does it benifit everyone in the group to exlclude people from loot because you just say its easier and how is it easier? because you can handle the mental preasure of the hand me down system? there is no fair point to this approach to looting. Its set up to make some people rich and some people poor. the bottom line is for the last time and trust me people this was the consesus on live. If you expect to roll on everything and win 5 things compared to someone who has been in your group as long or longer than you you are a loot whore. plain and simple... oh yeah loot whores are right up there with ninja looters... its just a repressed form of ninja looting cause they dont want to get ban.

Any items that aren't no drop, have the potential to be an upgrade for anyone, the whole point of randoming is so a random person gets the loot, no one forces you to stay if someone is having good rolls. Get back to me when you play a shaman and have to roll against people to get one of of your most important spells. Deal with it.
