Do you...?

Now we have three topics started over the last few days all about the same issue. These should be combined into one forum post in my humble opinion.

I do not understand how people roll need when wearing more powerful gear

I do not understand how people in pugs, regular, heroic and such while wearing higher tier gear like mythic, heroic etc. and rolling need on lower tier items. like wearing hero and rolling need on champion I do not have that option. I just do not understand how it is possible. I see so many people winning need rolls and not needing it, in any way, while others actually need the item. So much so, i started checking peoples gear out after they won, regardless of class.

It is utterly insane that people with 485+ ilevel gear can come into a normal raid and roll Need on gear

It makes absolutely no sense that a person with a 486 BIS crafted cloak can come into a normal raid and roll need on a 454 cloak. Or that a person with a 489 M+ 1H can roll need on a 457 1H INT dagger. I get that the mogs are desireable, but it is a failure of game design on Blizzard’s part that people with gear that high can win rolls on stuff in a normal raid over people who need the gear as actual upgrades. I’ve tried to avoid posting here with ‘axes to grind’ but this is just stupid. Perso…

That said, I will go into content not expecting anything as I am there for the adventure. Maybe it’s something I need or something I can help others out.

When an item drops, I will look at it and if I can see if it’s an upgrade I will roll Need. I will never roll Greed and I will Pass if I can’t figure out if it’s an upgrade because you can’t tell if a 1/8 will eventually be better at 8/8 then what I might already be using.

While most people don’t click Trans mog because they know they automatically lose to Need, I actually will even though I know it is a loss. I do this because that is the social expectations or intent that was put forth by most gaming companies that have implemented a Need before Greed system.

You can use whatever logic you want to justify Trans mog should be a need and Trans mog is forever. But just like gear, it will be replaced ever season and expansion, that color tint you want, was taking from someone who is trying to improve to do better in future content was robbed of an upgrade.

Blizzard needs to make the Trans mog roll separate from the NbG system. Let people that want it as a Trans mog win an appearance only version. They could also make it so if you have a higher version of the gear unlock all lower versions of the gear. Finally, they could introduce Armor Dye as an Alchemist recipe so people could open up other colors.
