pls keep posting, and pls post your main so i know never to do a PUG with you on any large cash camp. Im not gonna sit there for 5-6hrs so u can get your fungi-tstaff, while i get no exp due to cap, and you still roll on all /gem's and other arbritrary loot. Go get 5 friends and camp it or camp it yourself. I sure won't help you because you have your crack staff equipped screaming NEED NEED NEED.

I dont need to play with u in this virtual sandbox. Nice wu stuck noob

Lol says the douche that doesnt like to tell people where he hunts. My main is Thulack and dont worry i doubt i would ever group with you since all you do is solo anyway right? I'll stick with my friends and guildies when i want to go camp stuff and you can stick to your solo secret cash/xp spots how about that? If i need something damn right i'm gonna roll on it but if i dont need the item to use and someone else that is in group will use it i'm NEVER gonna roll. Sorry that makes me a bad guy jerkoffs.

pretty pathetic people would greed before need. probably the same assholes who roll against a paladin for a ghoulbane when hes wielding a sharpened 2 handed sword. this is why p99 pop sucks compared to live. there were a lot more roleplayers/casuals who werent greedy little bastards and actually enjoyed the game than the min/maxer unemployed scrubs that play here like its their job.

edit: actually some probably do have an income based on this server

Yeah lots of douchery going on here. People on this server would loot that t staff over that monk then turn around and demand he pay full price for it. They don't see that as being greedy because they have no sense of morality and don't play this game for the right reasons. If you want to be a dingaling in eq you should at least play on the red server where that sort of action is condoned. You're playing blue though the only thing to be done on that server is hold each others hands and make new friends. Amazing that people still find a way to be terrible to each other.

Ever notice it's called Need before Greed not Need before well i could sell to buy something i could use.

And things tend to be named by those who want to use those things for their own purposes. Do you think the Patriot Act is fine and dandy because it has a nice name?

Morality? So it's moral to deny a person a chance at an item that they helped obtain, and could trade for an upgrade, simply because they are at a camp where the only valuable item that drops is not usable by their class/race?

I really don't understand the naming of NBG. I mean, greed rolls are absolutely fair: each player gets an even shot at every item. Meanwhile 'need' is horribly unfair: one person gets the item, and everyone else gets 0.

That said I do have a bit of a soft spot in my heart for people who don't treat the game like a job measured in pp/hour and actually try to loot items off the mobs they kill as opposed to buying them EC. But that is the argument against greed rolls, not that its somehow more fair - it isn't.

TL;DR: join a guild and group with them as much as possible.

That's a terrible attempt to spin the conversation in a way to justify being a jerk. Obviously what you suggest isn't what is actually happening. What is happening is that the person who is trying to loot an item they have no use for other than selling to the person they are forcing a roll onto is being greedy and immoral. The person who needs the item is not because when he picks up the item there is no third step to putting it to use, he just uses it without any demands of compensation.

Yea shame on people wanting a fair chance at rewards they helped to earn. The gall, the sheer gall of it!

[mostbitter]

I'm glad you agree

Yeah, you're right. Everyone who helped obtain something that requires a group effort getting an EQUAL CHANCE to get an item as everyone else? Ugh, what greedy immoral bitches!

We better do it the fair way, and give it to the self-entitled guy who "deserves" it more than anyone else because he rolled the right class, and was in the right camp at the right time. Yes, that sounds much more fair, equal, and moral.

Only in the United States and/or Norrath can you find people so deluded and with such egos that they actually convince themselves that everyone getting the same chance at something good as everyone else is somehow unfair.

The "need" portion of NBG is where you find the most "greed".
