Need before greed in pickup groups?

[Versus]

BTW...I'm not opposed to Greed, but I could also see letting the people who would primarily benefit from the loot an edge.

FBSS/Fungi
Cleric - /rand 1 1000
Monk - /rand 300 1000

etc. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've been in groups that work both ways on this server.

I've also seen people on this server who have need rolled for an item just to sell it in EC a few hours later.

As someone said, 1 fungi tunic can buy a lot of caster shit. I'm pro greed, and it eliminates the bullshit element.

Sometimes we'd do it like this on live. Everyone, regardless of class, is eligible to roll on items such as the Fungi Tunic, but in order to be eligible to roll a person has to have been in the group for a minimum amount of time.

Nothing like a replacement coming into an established fungi/crypt PUG and being there for 5 minutes and winning the roll on a tunic/cloak to then turn around and say "oops I forgot I need to go do X" and peace out.

A few times in crypt NBG PUGs you would have a hiero cloak drop, someone would say I need it, win it, then be back the next day without one saying they need it again.

This also brings up the fact that NBG doesn't get rid of greed, since people can (and do) claim need just to get an item to sell it. Letting everyone roll makes it fair.

This. Mainly the bullshit factor. MY first experience with NBG here was a group in Highpass. Some DE warrior? won a shralok pack, citing his heavy armor as need. Myself, as a young monk wanted to, protest, but eh, he had a point. A few hours later he was selling it in EC. What was that name.. Chtulu?

I'm all for NBG, if it is a legitimate upgrade for your toon that is currently in the party, then by all means, take it

If you could use it on an alt, then we can discuss in the group at the time on a case by case scenario

Other than that. If noone else is needing it, then random away

That's not NBG... That's just lame.

NBG all the way, who gives a shit about plat?

only times i ran into peeps in my group leveling up who were strictly against it it was usually some IB/Trans/DA alt

I'm pro nbg, to me, EQ has always been about camping gear/upgrades.

[Labyrrinth]

If it is a pickup group, greed
If it's friends or guildmates, nbg

[fugazi]

NBG, I feel like a selfish ass when I go pure G.
