No, but if you consider every non-no drop item a piece of value as opposed to something a certain class "needs" and other classes are just being "greedy" by wanting equal value for their time, you understand why NBG begets abuse.
I was being facetious. I'm sure everyone is over this thread already.

GER has high AC and a good amount of Str for a ring slot. It's a nice twink item for DPS'ing but will likely be replaced at end-game because other gear + buffs will put you at 255 str anyways. However, since it eventually gets removed entirely from the game the value of it has inflated. Once the devs flip the switch, no more of these rings will enter the game and the total number in circulation will only decrease since some will inevitably be destroyed by people quitting the game or what have you.

Forest loop is a great ear-piece for any wis caster, the highest I've seen it on sale for was 1k and it's just as common at the moment as the GER. Why isn't it selling for 5k+? Because it will always drop so its perceived value is lower, because more can always be farmed if need be.

But you're correct Giddian, your typical player (even if they're a DPS class) is likely to get more benefit out of selling the ring and buying different equipment than keeping the ring for personal use.

NBF is BS! If I put in the time I should be allowed to roll on the loot, especialy if its an expensive item like this ring. I can always sell it and buy upgrades I need. GTFO with NBG, I do that with mates / guild, not in a damn pick up group - unless its discussed before of course.

NBG is such a slippery issue...
It only truly works when all the sides involved actually agree on definition of NEED

I have witnessed first hand situation, when a NBG group willingly awarded a Noctivigant Blade to the only SK in the group, despite the fact that he already had similar of better weapon, and he promptly sold the blade in EC an hour later.

In my book that definitely doesn't qualify as Need.

This why, I have since them become a strong supporter of "everyone rolls" policy, unless some sort of SOLID agreement has been worked out before hand, like:

- we, as group, going to this camp X, where items A, B, and C drop, and we before hand agree, that first drop of item A goes to Cleric, first drop of B goes to Warrior, and first drop of C goes to Necro. Beyond that all drops will be rolled on, until every one in the group gets at least 1 item worth of loot.

The druid saying "I don't have a ring, lol" is the best part of this entire saga. Everyone just bag all your shit before you join a NBG group from now on.

Actually I think the druid saying that was valid. You have a warrior who already has decent/good gear and a comparable ring to the GER (just in defferent ways like STR vs. AC or something) and a druid who doesnt even have a ring cause he probably couldn't afford it.

I would say the druid "Needed" the ring more because he didnt even have slots with gear in it. At least more so than the warrior who just needed a spare ring to swap out when he needed a couple extra str
