Think you're missing the point of 51-54 spells/Wu's staff vs fungi/torpor

It is possible. What is the point that you are trying to illustrate? That altruism has a threshold based on relative wealth (i.e. You do not mind passing the lower valued items to someone else because it's value a insignificant compared to your total wealth) and/or you don't want to invest the time to sell lower value items in EC?

I can understand all of those attitudes, but that doesn't make NBG equitable. It just make you either a charitable, successful or lazy person ^^

The value of the item is inconsequential so long as it exists ( i.e. It can be traded)

Everyone should roll then, even the Afk.

Here comes the fun question.

Do you roll on a quest piece that is no drop and you can't use the reward from said quest, for purposes of selling the MQ, if there is someone in the group who needs the quest piece to actually turn in.

I'd imagine the best example is pawbuster in KC.

Come Velious though, I can't imagine PUGs in Kael. Clerics rolling on chain armor and Rogues rolling on Silk. Lolololol.

Yes, you do roll on those pieces. The money you make from those MQs can be used to fund buying the MQs for the pieces you do need. It is the most fair way to distribute loot. It may take more time due to the transactions necessary to get the pieces you do want, but it prevents a myriad of other problems such as deterring geared people from grouping in said places that drop MQ items.

That last is a statement of your position, not a given at all. All you're doing is illustrating the silliness of carrying any notion out to its (il)logical conclusion. "Principle" is the stupidest imaginable reason to ever do anything.

IOW, it's not uncommon for PUGs to NBG minor stuff and /ran the big(ger) ticket items, often decided on a case-by-case basis by the players involved at the time. It's not necessary to be bureaucratic about your social life.

This, among other reasons, is why I no longer run with pugs. Personally, I would always give epic quest items away on a NBG basis.

You are all wrong.

We're playing an emulated version of a 15 year old elf sim... how much more wrong could we possibly be?

I like NBG. I'll take a big cash hit to seriously improve someone's virtual quality of life.
I like greed too!

And discussing it on an Internet forum when we're not actively playing it to boot ^^
