So I ran a pug raid and I got some gear that isn’t an upgrade but it got added to my transmog collection. I got a bunch of whispers asking if they could have the gear piece if I wasn’t going to use it. I told them I’m keeping it for the mog. For some reason they got really upset and called me a bunch of names I won’t repeat on here. Is it wrong to keep loot if it’s not an upgrade, but for the only purpose of keeping it in my transmog collection?

Always do it for the mog

Keep it for the mog, you don’t owe them anything.

This is why blizzard created personal loot. It’s your personal loot and you can choose what YOU want to do with it.

No. If you only get a few items a week, that counts as one of your items, for better or for worse. You do with it what you want.

I guess i just feel kinda bad cause I know how hard it is to get a loot upgrade right now is. It may be my right to keep it but I want to know what the community thinks of it

Well, you’re keeping a piece of gear that someone else could be using to just equip and then never use because of cosmetics. It dropped for YOU so you get to do whatever you want with it, especially because it’s a pug and you’ll never see them again, but I wouldn’t recommend trying it in a guild run.

Your loot is your loot. You can do whatever you please with it. Don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

loot is “personal” for that reason it’s personal…it’s YOUR loot you may do what ever you want with it.
If that means vendoring, keeping it, sharing it, it’s your call…even if it’s not an upgrade and you D.E it in someone’s face well too bad it’s your loot.
It’s rude of strangers to presume that they’re entitled to something the game gave you by design. No one has the right to call you names for not sharing something that is yours…I would’ve reported all of them

I’d have given it to them, but I’m not here to make a moral judgement on your decision: you don’t owe other people anything, that is a fact.

Isn’t he asking what he should do, though?
It’s not dehumanizing, it’s taking priority.
In a pug environment some rando you likely will never see again getting an upgrade by you passing the item has only a negative consequences for you. Not acquiring the mog, not having something to DE, or even vendor.
Passing an upgrade to a member of your core group, significantly has positive affects on you, as gearing your roster is can lead to easier kills, quicker kills, and new progression kills, opening avenues for a large supply of loot.
So not, it’s not dehumanizing, it’s logical.
