There's nothing wrong with what you describe either. There's no reason to be hostile.

That thing I said about people getting worked up in a hurry? Yeah, just like this.
How can the alpha system be abused? I have seen a person win all the loot in a group before as well...more than once and I know its not a grand scheme to rob someone of loot its just unfair to not just me but everyone. personally I feel if i win something the next thing that drops pending on its worth i would just give to the other person. I have no problem doing that because im not a selfish person that is my point.

You're right, I shouldn't have said only. Fixed that.

Though like I said, there's nothing unfair about it. It is by the definition of the word, fair.

Explain to me how its more fair for 1 person to potentially get all the loot in a group?.
It's fair because its completely random you idiot, how can we simplify this any more for you?

Should i be at a disadvantage because my name starts with M over a guy who has a character named Aalpha, when there is no way to determine ahead of time how many gems will drop and how long the group will last?

If only one item drops in a group and one person gets it, in Mishami's eyes they are a 'lootwhore' as they got all the items that dropped. In order to not be considered a 'lootwhore' they should make a note of all the names of the people in the group, request their email addresses and give the next 5 items they receive to these people. This is the only fair solution.

Stop being a pussy and say something.

To be honest you sound like a loot whore who is bitter that someone else got all of the drops this time around.

lets not get in to this again, just end it with any item that drops is an upgrade for anyone and it is greedy to just claim the item for a "need",

NBG- Greedy
Greed - fair

edit: before some idiot says "HOW IS IT AN UPGRADE FOR EVERYONE IF ITS MONK ONLY", remember that if its tradeable then it is sellable which = an upgrade for every class

i just read the op's post now, my bad and i blame it on the marijuana, the previous still stands, but in regards to what your saying it is completely fair since it is a random chance for everyone, you win some you lose some, i can see how it would be a lot nicer for everyone to split everything equally and that can be discussed but if someone wins multiple rolls and then decides that he doesnt want to share, it would be unfair to penalize him for his decision, it should have been determined beforward and thats just being a whiny bitch, you will get lucky one day (maybe) and win lots of randoms in a seb group

Right. Set the expectation. Discuss. Possibly collaborate and listen.

Life lessons right there.

Or, try and browbeat an entire group into playing by your version of the rules and see how quickly your bank explodes with untold riches.

Hey I'm all about difference of opinion but when you cant give me a straight answer about how greed all is more fair than alpha greed you start pissing me off. Look my personality seeps through in this game I happen to be a fair person in RL thats why persoanlly I think it's only fair if i win a 5k item its fair to sit out on the next 5k and below item because if I do I truely feel that makes me a loot whore. everyone is making a point like I never won anything thats why I'm making this post.. which isnt the case. I'm making this arguement for all the people in the situation of this bullshit loot rule. It didnt exist on my server in live except in circumstances of a full 60 group or a place that didnt have great loot. The reason I take this so seriously is because it developoes the consesus of the server from not being a bunch of jackass's who cant make a good clear point about why greed all is better than the trade geed system. So far the only point that has been made about greed all is its 100% fair because it gives everyone just as much chance to win something which is complete bullshit. It does not give a fair equal chance for everyone to win something in the group which is stupid. You know i wouldnt have such a problem with it if it wasnt a profiling tool on my server when i played live. At the end of the day what it comes down too is people who embrace a loot system such as greed all are pathetic people in RL. the same types that would ninja loot something which i have seen from people who greed all and if you could still loot people corpses watch out! This server does not do a good job of profiling idiots at higher lvl thats why there are so many of them.. On rodcet nife the server I played on I played with some of the best guilds and tons of pick up groups and never met people so pro greed all. infact if you asked for greed all you got kicked out of the group. if someone should go solo its people like you sturgeon you are the one asking random people to give you the chance to win everything in a group but you point the finger at me like i expect people to gear me when im argueing people should get just as much chance to get a item as me. understand greed allers you do not have the same chance as everyone in a group to win loot in a group because once you win something you have twice the chance to win something compared to other members BECAUSE YOU ALREADY WON SOMETHING!!! How is that so hard to figure or is it just something you block out of your mind to justify you are a pathetic loot whore?
