J.AllenBrack 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) So I just tanked Zul'farrak and Vice Grips (Plate Gloves) (http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=9640) with + stam dropped off of Antu'sul, the first boss. I needed the gloves since it was a significant upgrade for me, but an Undead Mage named Blowitup also needed the gloves claiming he misclicked. He ended up winning the gloves and when the whole party asked him why he would need on Plate gloves he said it was a misclick, and I thought I'd better just give him the benefit of the doubt. Then I recognized the name Blowitup, I had been in UC before the dungeon run and someone was saying in Trade chat not to group with the ninja looting mage Blowitup. I immediately became suspicious and then claimed he did it intentionally, and again he said it was just a mistake. After my accusations, he said sorry and that he would TRADE it to me and opened trade chat and was unable to trade it (it being BoP).... That's when i realized he thought likely thought the Blue Plate gloves were a BoE. Without even checking to see if they were BoP or BoE. He just saw a Blue item drop and thought he should insta-need to sell it. I was honestly pretty angry but decided to just finish the run giving him one more chance to see if he would need another blue item he couldn't use to try to confirm my suspicions. Then at the Chief Ukorz Sandscalp the Big Bad Pauldrons (http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=9476) dropped, again plate shoulders and I needed and everyone else said grats and greeded or passed......... all but Blowitup. I had to ask him in party chat and directly whisper him to please pass before it took him the whole roll time to expire and he auto passed. That was when the whole group came to the same conclusion that he probably did intentionally needed the gloves and would have needed the shoulders as well (knowing they were BoP's and feigning ignorance, or thinking they were BoE's). I know I'm rambling and probably whining, but I just needed to rant about the problem, if people are needing Blue BoP's off of bosses immediately thinking they are BoE's they can need and sell, I'm pretty sure that people have taken needing BoE's too far. And if that Mage is just needing every drop just to vendor, then he's just in an even higher tier of stupid or greedy players. I'm not saying you shouldn't Need rare or even epic BoE's, I'm not gonna tell you how to play, that's up to you or the group that you're in. But please for the love of god, check if the item is a BoP before needing on something sombody else can use (especially if it drops off of a boss).... And if you're grouped up with the Undead Mage Blowitup, just be wary; if the same thing happens to your group, it's most likely not a coincidence. edit: sorry for the clickbait title.

Stodola 26 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 On the whole, Elysium takes a hands-off approach supporting in game solutions for in game problems. That is to say, the community will sort it out. That said. A great approach to the ettiquette of looting is: Active -> MS -> OS/General Greed/Vendor Spec Active - the roll you are playing in the dungeon Mainspec - the main roll you usually play on a character Offspec - another spec you would like to play. If you're needing for offspec you should ask if it is okay to need for offspec, dont assume you can just have it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet nobody ever said that, so I guess you're just talking shit? 8 hours ago, Sabre said: You can disenchant the item for shards which will give you an upgrade, not really a ninja. Nope, disenchanting an item doesn't get you nearly as much value as wearing it, rolling need on BoP that isn't a gear upgrade for you is being a ninja (unless it's a genuine mistake).

Justme 9 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Who cares about value vs value? The shard goes directly to my weapon enchant. It may be worth more to him but there are plenty of BOEs on the AH that are better so it's not my fault he joined the dungeon in shitty gear 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zyfire 2 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 I can understand why you'd be upset about BOPs, but I don't condone anyone needing on BOEs. They have just as much value for someone who can't use them as they do for you, because they can sell them for gold and get an item of equal value that they can use. Simply put: If I see Foror's drop and I'm on a mage for example, I would still need on it, because selling it means I could buy all 3 Bloodvine pieces for example. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because you spew offensive shit out of your mouth like it's normal. I don't see what's wrong with needing on gold. Gold is as useful for me as it is to the next person, why should the tank get prio on the gold? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Invisible dice was already rolled when the game decided warrior gear was gonna drop. Now let the warriors in the group decide wich 1 gets it. people that want gold hit greed.

No, invisible dice was rolled when the game decided an item worth a lot of gold would drop. That item benefits me just as much as it benefits a warrior, just not in the same exact way. If there was also a mage item worth 500 gold that dropped in DM maybe I would reconsider, but there isn't. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you should only need on BOE if it provides a lot of gold? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amfiketo 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 I downloaded an addon for KoS list. I gotta say i really like it. Ninjas from forum? Put em in.. (from both factions, if i see an ally ninja i gladly gank them as ugly as possible:)) Someone from the other faction ganks you at 20% hp while finghting a mob? Put em in.. you never know in what sitiation you are gona see him somewhere in the world. You don't want to forget his name and pass him by right? Someone from the opposite faction acted honorably? Put him in the green list.. good actions must be remembered. I wouldn't want to fuck him up some other time because i forgot his name. Douche moves also shouldn't be forgotten. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rapteg 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 10 часов назад, Justme сказал: So you should only need on BOE if it provides a lot of gold? Yes. People "greeding" greens are great example of how BoE system works - if you don't need a BoE - you greed it. That's why rare BoE are always "needed" - because they are needed, they are rare and expensive. You don't always sell them, you also send them to your guildmates, you also trade them, you also keep them for your alts. BoE items have way more uses than BoP - which are simply an upgrade for you current character. If you feel like you have no use at all for a 300g BoE item - roll greed. If you feel like you have no use at all for a 1g BoE item - roll greed. But show me a single person who would pass 300g to a stranger, i'll probably shake my head and die a little inside.
