Add me into the group that says NBG is stupid because it disincentivizes entire archtypes from doing certain camps. Unless it's like a quest item or something like that, that the person, upon joining the group, says they're after. Everyone should roll on everything, IMO.

And to the people that say, "It's just going to rot in your bank," I say BS, you are not an effective seller than. On Teal at lvl 33, I have exactly 2 pieces of bronze armor in my bank and nothing else - I've moved tons of stuff, including about 3 full sets of bronze. You just have to be aggressive about selling stuff.

Disingenuous to say nbg is 'just' another form of greed.

Often in a greed grouo players will spontaneously pass on an item that another player could use.

It feels good to help others progress, and that is worth more than pp to some.

Of course if you would like to help that player with the item, why not do it?

People say "Pass" on rolled loot all the time.

That's the point, they had the chance to either roll on the item or say "Pass"

The concept of NBG excludes anyone who "cannot immediately use" from ever having a chance at the item that they helped to drop.

I am not that person. I play an SK, and I expect my other group members to roll on the Dark Reaver that they just helped to drop.

It is a great weapon for me, but I would not have ever seen it drop, without the other members of that group.

You're seeing NBG as a tool others use to suppress you. Instead see it as a tool you can use help others. Greed is the default, you can instead chose to pass by your own volition.

Stop worrying about nerds trying to get one over you.

When I fight a mob with a group, and that group tells me I’m not allowed to roll on the fruits of our labor, nerds are very much trying to get one over on me.

Someone above me said ‘fairness is a subjective concept’ and that’s true to some degree, but let’s take a look at the definition of fairness..

“Impartial and just treatment or behavior without favoritism or discrimination”

NBG literally tells people who worked for something they’re excluded from a chance at the item. Period. Discrimination based on class or race. It is about as rude/greedy as you can be. That’s why I am baffled at all these people acting like they’re the righteous martyrs of the world with their NBG mindset, when the reality is they’re being incredibly rude to those they’re excluding.

Wronging over others in order to do right by someone else, doesn’t make it any less wrong of an action. “A disasters a disaster no matter what christian language you drag it through” by the great Manchester Orchestra comes to mind.

They should roll on it then sell it and buy 15k worth of items. Or give it to an alt because it makes no difference since they won the roll and its theirs to do whatever they want with.
