in all seriousness I am amazed at the number of people on this thread that are opposed to nbg

I'm opposed to it generally even if we're at a camp with some uber item for my class/race. It's obvious that people use NbG to get items to sell because they happen to be a certain class. I don't believe you're entitled to the item, just because you would make use of it - other people might sell that item to buy stuff they'll make better use of. See what I mean?

My method eliminates abuse of that, since plat value is generally pretty transferable.

Yup. To be honest we always did NBG from what I recall on Tunare, and even Drinal. That it didn't happen on other servers does not surprise me. Guild dominated servers had not as tight a community I think. I count myself fortunate to have played where I did.

No on NGB, not in pugs... if i'm with friends then sure, hell if i'm in a pug and an item my friend wants drops i'll roll on it with the intention of giving them it.

I think it depends on the items value.

As much as I need that FBSS as a monk, it is worth too much to not random on. Not to mention, that is why everyone is there, including the cleric.

Dollar dollar bills yall.

When I was a player here and leveling up, the groups I joined were almost always NBG.

Then again, I leveled up when 500 max population was a huge thing and the Andain stories entertained us for hours and hours.

The Good Ol' Days is what I like to call them

This thread illustrates why everything has to be greed if you're like me and just do pickup groups. So few people actually NBG that I'm compelled to greed on everything cause I know if I'm in a group and something drops that I need some twinked douche is gonna demand greed. Therefor, I have to be a dick to everyone else and greed so I can improve my gear. Also, people lie too much.

Its sad cause its 10x more fulfilling to loot an item than it is to buy it. I'd prefer NBG, but greed is too well established on here.

I encountered NBG in every group I was in while leveling up.. and this was just a couple of months ago.. so either I got very lucky, things changed very fast, or you're making this up?
