Now that green has been out a while, I'm siding with greed rolls.

For the first month or two, greed rolling everything would have been ridiculous, because even minor drops were often upgrades for multiple people in the group, and there wasn't enough pp in the economy to easily resell items. e.g. I even won a Crested Helm on my cleric, as nbg, because it was a legit upgrade at the time.

Now though? Over 3 months into green? No way.

Everyone needs pp and there's been enough time for loot to flood the market that even a lowbie can gear up easily.

If "everyone" needs pp then it's not very easy for a lowbie to gear up because they have none. There's also not much loot in the market, and much of it is being sold for pretty exorbitant prices for what it is.

I have leveled a fresh toon to 30 and have earned a rough equivalent to 2.5K along the way. it is hardly impossible for new players to get coin. And I am far from a hard core player. I sold almost all belts/sashes/ears/scalps I looted.

Lowbie gear is often selling for 10-150pp a piece, many pieces 20,30,40pp each. And hunting wil-o-wisps will earn plenty of plat to get some basic gear

There's lots of lowbie loot available on the market. They can also win rolls for equippable items, even if others roll on it too, not just ones they can sell.

That's GBN, aka "NBG".

When it comes down to it, 99% of the people that claim need rolls are Seal Team alts that are already rich AF. NEVER allow someone to brainwash you into saying it's a need roll if it wasn't discussed BEFORE you joined the group.

You'll see the same guys say "need roll" for FBSS >> Sell it (or simply pass to mule) >> Return with a leather belt saying it's, again, a "need" roll.

Funny considering being in a raiding guild makes you poor unless you're already a rich class. Pots and clickies aren't cheap, yo.

Just because a character has gear doesn't mean they're rich. I geared up my alt entirely with stuff I camped and looted on my main. I'm still broke on both.

Also the NBG I see in groups happening now comes from newbies, not from people in raiding guilds.

While we're making up statistics though, did you know that 99% of things mischief419 says are false and without evidence?
