Need before greed in pickup groups?

[Lagaidh]

I think the best and simplest loot system is as follows: don't be a dick.

Ta-da!

Seriously, we all know when we, or someone else, is being a dick. Just don't do that. Simple.

If you want NBG on high value item camps, you really need a group of guildmates and friends. People who actually give a shit about helping you get equipped. It's hard to convince a bunch of strangers in a pickup group that you "need" an item, for all they know you have 10 other level 50 accounts and 300k plat in your bank.

What about BnB when GCB drops... WRU ESTU???? <3

I had the same problem with Ridez. I rolled a 98, he rolled a 71, he said he was just keeping it because it should be a NBG group. He then leaves the zone and then /laughs at me. There was also a necro in the group with poor gear; Rides never asked the necro if he wanted to roll against him for the bracer. I talked to an officer from VD and apparently their creed on their website means jack and shit; nothing was done.

In essence: don't group with Ridez if you want an item that he can wear.

And then they made World of Warcraft to fix these problems...

WRONG. They made more items no drop in EQ PRIOR to WoW.

[Mindementia]

All of my groups in Kunark will be NBG unless it's a shitty place that is difficult to lure people to go grind experience in.

If you don't like it, tough shit and have fun soloing.

Luckily I don't think there is a large line of people dying to group with you so there should be plenty of other groups available.

Can't believe how long this thread has gone on. Anything over 1k in value should be rolled on. The great xp spots do not drop valuable things for every class, and everyone in group should have an equal shot at getting a tangible upgrade.
