It's not greed on a 6 year old 3 expansion server. It's fair.

Can you see how, a new player, might take exception to you increasing your millionfold wealth, at the expense of what is sometimes a BiS weapon for them?

A new player with a forum account from 2011? Also everyone playing a non 60 is always a new player and people never lie. I've seen people corpse fungi's all day and still haven't won a single roll for myself. It's just how it goes here classic or not.

How is need before greed any less greedy? It's essentially saying your needs are more important than everyone else.

If an item is droppable *anyone* can sell it to their own benefit.

It's the dumbest idea of all time.. I mean if you're rich and not a douche pass on something for new folks but fuck just giving 20k to some fuckn noob who probably pushes old ladies over to get a better seat at the movie theater for all you know, just cus they're new lol

This game is addictive they ain't going anywhere lol greed b4 need unless you're with pals, in which case I wouldn't be pals with anyone that would roll lawyer item drops.

They immediately begin to roll, of course being greed driven creatures, I am the last one to roll, sitting there in confusion, I ignore it and begin dpsing away, while writing my petition. Ultimately, I am forced to roll, and lose to an Epic'd out Rogue in Venerate Named Kayyte.... EPIC'd...OUT...ROGUE.....ROGUE...ROGUE....STAFF = MNK ONLY...GIANT UPGRADE....GM STEPS IN, Acting like a child, while I am trying to discuss the situation with him. What does the Good monk who power levels the entire fucking world with any chance he can get, get in return? A Ban, removed from the game before even speaking my side, so the greedy rogue can have her way. Meanwhile, she would have never even seen the item if I didn't win the competitive pull to bring it back.....So Thanks Kayyte, for being another Greed driven EQ player, I even said to her, can I use it till I get a raid upgrade then Pass it? Nope....Bitch needed the money, over a godly staff in the hands of WELL DESERVING MONK WHO SERVED THE WORLD WITH GREAT LOVE AND CARE....I could have dropped the group and just killed the mob myself, that's the part that tears me up. Crazy, how pixels can make a man lay on the ground depressed.. I may never return to the realm, the world has lost a great monk who served all with any chance he got to give.

-Sincerely,
Ahngfei.
I understand where ur coming from, but when you have an item drop thats worth some money everyone is going to want to roll on it or not regardless if its a upgrade or not. Only thing u could have really done is ask if u could have it since its a huge upgrade for you and the group would have to agree on it. Last time i checked is was for around 25-30k so i mean its a nice chunk of change. I myself wouldnt expect no one to just "give" me an item like that. Im sorry to hear about what happened to you but honestly getting mad about it makes no sense. A 30k drop everyone in ur group i going to roll on it regardless, other people need plat for alts/tradeskills whatever the case maybe, and endgame spells/upgrade items for other people are not cheap. Like i said only thing u could have done was ask the group nicely if you could have it.
