Can we change the subject to the concept of Need-Before-Greed? It still very much relates to the topic title. Yes? No?

Either way selling loot rights is dumb.

NBG is all well and good among friends, but when you get to a situation where there's a 12k item dropping for melees (FBSS) and a 50p item for the casters (ring) then it's really not fair. Getting an FBSS and selling it could get the caster GEBS or w/e.

If we do the everyone rolls on items over a certain price, it means it doesn't matter what camp you go to, if there's an expensive item you have a chance of winning it.

I believe this is the fairest method in all honesty. Afterall , you could have someone in full rubi with 2 yaks, but only a TBB... technically they need the fbss, but the guy in bronze needs it too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, personally I believe in NBG among friends/guildmates, and all-in /random for the stuff that's going to be of value to everyone in a random pickup group. What if you just won a 12K item in that same group earlier though? If someone in that situation goes in on the next /random, I personally would think that person is a douche.

this.

To me need before greed sounds a lot like, "from each according to his ability, to each, according to his need."
