It is possible. What is the point that you are trying to illustrate? That altruism has a threshold based on relative wealth (i.e. You do not mind passing the lower valued items to someone else because it's value a insignificant compared to your total wealth) and/or you don't want to invest the time to sell lower value items in EC?

I can understand all of those attitudes, but that doesn't make NBG equitable. It just make you either a charitable, successful or lazy person ^^

The value of the item is inconsequential so long as it exists ( i.e. It can be traded)

^ this is true.

That last is a statement of your position, not a given at all. All you're doing is illustrating the silliness of carrying any notion out to its (il)logical conclusion. "Principle" is the stupidest imaginable reason to ever do anything.

IOW, it's not uncommon for PUGs to NBG minor stuff and /ran the big(ger) ticket items, often decided on a case-by-case basis by the players involved at the time. It's not necessary to be bureaucratic about your social life.

I'd greed roll a tstaff all day long.

Wu's quivering staff when your groups 41 monk is using bamboo Bo stick? Sure thing.

Hierophants cloak when you got HBC? Shits getting rolled on.

This was not a guild group, nothing was NBG, we all knew that cash loot was going to be rolled on. The question was whether the afk person should be allowed to roll.

Also everyone started rolling as soon as the cloak dropped. Nobody said "Hey is everyone back now so we can roll?" The /ran fingers were in a hurry...

Everyone should roll then, even the Afk.

I'm rolling on everything that drops that is sellable or usable by me unless im with a group of friends or guildies or both. Sure, i'm a rogue and I cant use a Tstaff but the 32k i got for selling it sure as hell bought my epic MQ.

If I was the guy afk, I would expect to get a roll (as long as it wasnt a chronic 1 hour long afk or some shit) And if I was in the group I would let the guy roll.

Here comes the fun question.

Do you roll on a quest piece that is no drop and you can't use the reward from said quest, for purposes of selling the MQ, if there is someone in the group who needs the quest piece to actually turn in.

I'd imagine the best example is pawbuster in KC.

Come Velious though, I can't imagine PUGs in Kael. Clerics rolling on chain armor and Rogues rolling on Silk. Lolololol.

Yes, you do roll on those pieces. The money you make from those MQs can be used to fund buying the MQs for the pieces you do need. It is the most fair way to distribute loot. It may take more time due to the transactions necessary to get the pieces you do want, but it prevents a myriad of other problems such as deterring geared people from grouping in said places that drop MQ items.
