It really depends on the unwritten rules. On Innoruuk the 2 treants in SRo were always 1 camp. But the 2 Aviaks in Lake Rathe, right at Arena zone entrance, were frequently shared.

Then again, everyone 'needs' cash for 'upgrades' (well, maybe except those that don't participate in the player market, but even they must buy at least food/drink/bandages/reagents/spells from vendors, right)? It does suck if someone vendors an item someone else might have used though.

I think that is one of the reasons in favor for /ran everything. People might not know how much plat they can charge in a new economy, but most have a rough idea how sought after something is. We will probably see a lot of auctions for straight trades. /auc Caster item X up for trade. Looking for comparable class Y item.
Another thing are the blurry lines of "need". Is it enough that somebody can wear an item to be counted as need? People will wear a lot of things they wouldn't wear on Blue just to fill a slot with something that is slightly better than the cloth or leather that they already have.
Has a warrior who is already wielding an ykesha the same need for the second one as the ranger who still wields his mid level blades? The SK or paladin are probably not going to use that ykesha for a long time, but it beats what they are using now. While those 4 try to hash out who needs it most or if the 4 of them or the whole group should random, the enchanter is watching that discussion with detached amusement. A moment later somebody auctions: Want to trade SMR for one ykesha.
Additionally there are always the people who bank something or park a lore item on a friend or alt before they move to an area where they hope to get another one. NBG works in guilds or among friends. With random pickup groups of poor chars not so much.
It will be interesting to see if the general population will reach an agreement that most players will accept or if every group will hash out their own rules.
