A public apology to Clorox.

I'd just like to say, if you had played on VZTZ, you almost always grouped with guildies, if you grouped with guildies, you were awarded the item if it was class specific or an upgrade for your class, if no one needed the item as an upgrade, you could roll on it. In PuG settings it was pretty much the same thing, I rarely if ever in my 3 year tenure saw the bluebie pixelitis kick in, unless your name was Kaahbal.

It's very sad how degenerate and malicious bluebies get towards pixels, and it's sad that they can't transfer this pixel aggression into a pvp setting, its like a snapping turtle that only comes out when something shiny is near.

But NBG on T-staff is silly IMO. It's one thing if it's a random, 3k item. Fine, whatever, each person's roll is worth 500 plat. Just don't be a dick and let the guy that needs it have it. But on a t-staff, you're talking about each roll being worth ~40k in a full group, assuming the t-staff could sell for 240k. You can't be upset about people being unwilling to donate that roll to 'the greater good'. One NBG does not equal another. Just because a group NBG's Deepwater Boots (worth, what? 2k?) doesn't mean that the same group should NBG a Tranquil Staff.

NBG is a donation on the part of your group-mates. If they let you NBG an item, appreciate it and say thank you. If they don't, that sucks -- keep on keeping on, eventually you'll win the roll. It's one thing to get pissy if your group won't let you NBG a shitty item that is barely worth the time it takes to sell; it's another if they're just unwilling to donate a roll worth more than their entire EQ savings to some random monk they don't even know.

Guess the real answer is, get your guild to lockdown the T staff spawn and keep pugger twats out, yea?

Yeah, basically.

Not really fair to ask 5 PUG members you hardly know to each sacrifice 40k on the altar of improving your main-hand.

Think of it this way: claiming NBG on a T-Staff is essentially the equivalent of asking everyone in your group for 40k donations. If it were a guild group, maybe they'd be okay with that -- you'd probably help them equally down the road. If it were good friends, maybe they'd be cool with that. But a group of guys you barely know? Doubt it. A T-staff, at this point of p99, is 240k. It'd sell overnight at that price. It's not something that would take a great deal of effort to sell, nor is it something with marginal value. It's platinum. Everyone needs platinum. There is no 'greed'.

What a monk should really do is just trio the camp with a cleric and an enchanter, and pre-buy their rolls on a T-Staff. Basically, find out how long they're willing to stay at the camp, and pay them -- say -- 1k / hour to forfeit their roll on the staff, if it were to drop. That way you get a t-staff for way less than market value, they get paid whether or not they get lucky, all of you get experience, and everyone's happy. Hurray.

Everything that is posted on these boards is about pixels. All the free time you spend playing games is about pixels. Using it as some kind of insult, is only showing how fucking retarded you are.

Actually, I find this bit o logic, acceptable.

The game Everquest, as defined in the mind of mini-marc, is about pixels. Pixels to a red player is means to an end: pixels beget weapons to wage war upon your opponents.

This is why we chuckle in amusement at the massive walls of texts inspired by pixels, for the sake of pixels.

Marc don't worry bro, your head isn't properly in proportion to your deltoids, we expect these sort of responses from you, go do some squats and take a breather, then come back and tell us what you come up with.

Knuckle: The amount of confidence you have gained since your neckbearded friends have arrived is astonishing. You went from being a whinny little bitch begging for your name back to some weak-ass board warrior. Please keep posting basketball references with pictures comparing your skinny white ass with black athletes, I need more material to laugh at while I'm working.
