My question is if that new guy shows up and sits there for 6 more hours and no phat lewt drops, are you going to let them roll on the phat lewt you guys got before he joined?

And if you're camping Efreeti and a new guy joins and nothing drops for 6 hours are you going to let him roll on the 9k boots / ring you got? While you're also there 6 additional hours.

If you say yes then you're a liar and we all know it Lol.

And if you say no then you're a hypocrite.

Its too late to save face now too so you have two ways you can reply: You can be salty with excuses. Or you can say something humble like "ok yeah that makes sense." Pick the latter and I'll be nice about it.

Or you can say nothing at all. Its super effective.

No doesn’t make him a hypocrite, considering he wasn’t stating this was his position, but rather playing devil’s advocate asking if it was YOUR position. Which it appears not to be. Nor do I suspect it’s anyone else’s.

There seems to be a disconnect between what’s espoused on this forum and what’s practiced in-game. The forum majority seems to be in favor of GBN, but (anecdotally) most groups i join seem to enforce NBG at the outset.

Just throwing this out there....who the actual fuck has ever in their life, besides this Hazek guy called it GBN....its either NBG or Greed, GBN makes absolutely no sense at all because if its greed, there is never a moment that need would come into play.

I don't call it GBN. I call it FRS because everyone rolling on tradeable items isn't greed. While telling others they can't roll if they can't equip it is hypocritically greedy.

Anecdote:

So back on Innoruuk server I was in a group when a Howling Harpoon dropped - shaman only, worth a few hundred plat and to my mind at least, a valuable item.

Personally I would have liked to roll on it, but someone said NBG, and since there was a shaman in the group, we agreed to donate it to him. He said thanks and gratefully accepted it.

Then he let us know that he had sold his last Howling Harpoon in order to fund some other item he was wearing. No-one said anything, but I was pissed off.

That's why NBG sucks.

This is exactly why NBG is a terrible system unless you are among friends. That player is eventually going to sell the item...so they got not only the benefit of wearing it but 100% of the plat value down the road just because the other 5 members of the group felt bad about rolling. NBG is a con that ropes in suckers every time.
