Why is that wrong? It’s a transaction, he isn’t giving it to you, he’s wondering if he can sell it to you.
You wanted it, lost it, he offered it to you for a price, what’s wrong with that? You lost the roll, in all fairness you shouldn’t have a chance to have it traded to you at all, since you lost the roll.
He only “lost” because someone wanted to be a scalper that never had any business rolling on it to start with.

There’s nothing to lie about, they never covered downgrades like you’re claiming. So again you’re wrong but want to read words into it that isn’t there all to defend scalping and screwing over other people. But you do you dude.

I’ve seen this a lot in LFR and normal and it is so silly to me.
It is pretty annoying for anyone coming in late to the game trying to catch up, or main swapping just to have heroic and mythic geared players rolling to sell.
I am looking to push hardcore content again but this is a huge turnoff. I am looking for a guild as well which is normally the way you avoid it, but I have seen it happen to guilds as well or you have to pay to get items if you are new.

Nevertheless, the roll was fair, anyone who could roll had a chance. Not the scalper’s fault he won. He rolled because he wanted the piece, just like the other guy did. For different reasons yes, but why should the roll care, when everyone has the same chance?

Except it’s absolutely the scalper’s fault because he had no business rolling on that item to start with. If he wanted to potentially sell the item he should’ve hit greed and took his chances. But he didn’t do that. Instead he used an exploit in the system to roll on something that was inferior to what he had knowing full well he was going to turn around and try to sell it. He didn’t need the item, he just wanted to make a quick buck. Otherwise if he truly needed the item he wouldn’t be offering to sell it.

Shoulda just vote kicked the shaman.
Except that he was allowed to roll on that item due to being eligible to loot the boss, eligible for the item, and participating in the fight.
He did no such thing.

Not really possible to ban without ripple effects
no. 1 mill for your bis trinket or spymaster’s gets vendored. next time join a guild!
He needs the money for his consumes. As do I. My alts always need on spymasters to sell it.
It’s encouragement for yall to find guilds instead of playing the game like a casino, you should honestly expect to literally never see a drop from a pug because everyone will be needing on items. Even if I wasn’t allowed to sell SPMW I would still need on it and vendor it honestly.
It wasnt Asmon was it???
In game gold for in game item is functioning as intended.
His runs had loot rules set up in advance.
He never got a strong following in classic in time. towards the end of his days there when relevant (kind of)…he went from loot funnel to loot black hole.
You were better off in a pug with 24 other ninjya’s. You ahd the 1/25 to actually get gear. His play with the masses runs were ML…with no distribution later.
The system is designed to incentivize fully geared players to outbid undergeared players and charge them gold (or real money) if they want the gear. This is intended to reward the well-geared players, on the premise that being geared is proof that they are playing the game right and deserve to be paid what is essentially a tax on undergeared players, a punishment for playing the game wrong and deserving only of having their money funneled to overgeared players.
It’s also intended to slow down gearing of those undergeared players, because surely if they get less or even no gear they’ll play a lot more, right?
Because the players who would bid on gear they don’t need just to sell it to someone they see as nothing more than a mark would treat that player wonderfully if he joined their guild.
I…can’t…breathe… This is so hilarious. Anybody who would do that to another person is an advertisement for the kind of people you will be forced to suck up to if you join a guild. Who will also be making demands from you there as well.
The net result is you have implemented a system designed to convince players just starting not to even try raiding, because no matter how you do it, you will be ripped off.

It’s helpful in full guild runs where there’s actually a benefit to someone else getting an upgrade.
In PUGs there’s unfortunately no point to the transmog button.
They’re still going to roll for it and vendor or DE it instead.
This is the effect that GDKPs have made on the community since its inception in classic WoW. It slowly has bled over into Retail and now you are seeing why Classic died early.
People should be banned from doing such things. Don’t care for the excuses so dont @ me

Nah. If anyone coerces you to give them gold or anything in a guild I’d suggest you leave that guild and never look back instead. The requirements are showing up and using consumes and knowing the basics of your spec. I simply do not care for players I will never again come across in my game time, which is pretty much all heroic raid pugs. The difference is, if someone gets an item in a guild raid everyone benefits as we will play with this player again, the boss will die quicker and less people will need that loot next week.
