I’ve been playing since OG TBC and played classic relaunch…etc and while there has always been greedy loot goblins it seems like 90% of the player base is like this now. People will roll on tier and items in H++ while in full T9 just to troll you. DPS winning healing items such as Solace in MS OS because it’s a 0.0001% upgrade or rolling on it so they can try to sell it. Friends in GDKPs trying to bid you up purposely so they can get more gold. I’ve seen 3 guilds disband so far over loot drama, even had a co-gm ninja eye from me and gquit in classic. Now everyone is arguing who will get SM first… I was never a big fan of personal loot but sometimes miss it. My priest is literally cursed…Had eye ninjad, lost show of faith twice to Hpals who had bis trinkets, lost Solace twice to dps classes. Just feels like a total waste of my time. I know all of this will be alleviated by running with a guild, but with my schedule sucks.
Loot Master is the best loot system for guilds. Personal Loot is the best for anything outside of guilds.
I feel like even back in the aughts, that people we’re needing on loot that their character didn’t need because people just don’t know. They just see blue and that the need option is available and they click it. There’s a reason that “everything is a hunter weapon” existed.
I love it when i think someone is trying to bid me up in a gdkp. I just let them have it. Knowing that i will get it in a week or 2 later, for less, and they will have funded a portion of it.
Unfortunately though, many ppl are not lile me and they need to have that piece of gear NOW. So they are suseptible to ppl that do this. Thats still on them though. I have heard stories of ppl intentionally outbiddimg someome just because they didnt want the other person to get that piece so cheap. I just would never join a gdkp that had that person in it again. If you want the very first of an item in a new raid, you need to expect that every time it drops in the future it will be go for less and less.
I had an alt accidently do a GDKP (their trade chat advert was just “LF1M Healer for hyjal”). Some healing leather chest piece dropped, and I was the only restro druid. So I did min bid and some warrior bid it up once and I didn’t rebid for it. They kicked me out of the group xD.
Greed is a pathway to the Darkside…
If you are rolling on Solace as a holy pally should you really be calling out others for stealing bis loot?
Ez way to solve: if more than 2/3 raid is guildies then make master loot available to use. If not then personal loot. Problem solved.
Don’t pallies have like the same trinket the whole xpac xD
Soul Preserver yes, Meteorite Crystal is the other bis
Lmao those are basically free trinkets
exactly. ive done the same thing. I wouldn’t care if they kicked me cuz i wouldn’t run with them again after that. its up to the raid leader to get competing classes if they don’t then to bad if someone min bids. They can also raise the min bid before the start. ive gotten tons of stuff at min bid on alts. never had anyone complain.
PvP bis we some Solace stealers
Not sure who you are referring too but I’m a Disc Priest
Fortunately Blizzard is making shadowmourne easier to get. Before hearing of that change I wrote off any chance of getting one. Now there’s actually hope I might be able to get one.
Well I raid as frost dual wield, so wouldn’t expect it to be a priority for my OS.
After all the ret pallies and blood get it
Game is filled with loot goblins and narcissists
What did you expect from a game played by a bunch of people in their late 30s and fulling into their ‘Career’.
Corporate America has trained them well.
So in short MS > OS and GDPKs are bad. Okay. Where is the Surprise part here? There is a reason why Blizzard introduced personal loot and made the game harder to eliminate GDKPs (nothing more than pugs with whales).
Feel for the OP.
Thanks but Ehhh not even trying to sound like a baby but I’ve stopped playing since this happened. Made me realize the game does not respect my time and everyone is greedy so Baldurs Gate 3 has been keeping me busy lol and don’t have to worry about people fighting over pixels
Game is filled with gold buying losers that have to bring their IRL flex into game.
