This charmer was advised by the rest of the group no reserve on gear; instead of being an adult he ran the group then changed to ML and ninjaed the drop.
Party up with him at your own risk:
The group was not a 'LFM reserved'
He tried to reserve once group went in and was told no reserve. I do not do reserved runs for the same reason as you; fair play on upgrades. At that stage he obviously decided to use the group and ninja instead.
I've made a horde side 1-3 exploration guide here:
You can take this to 1-4 in a bit over an hour if you also run to Mulgore/Thunder Bluff and go into Silverpine after doing undercity.
