Passing Gear in Pugs

My policy is to let people for whom it is an upgrade all have a roll at it. My main reasoning is because people hate it when others are picked over them. It is like being in gym class and being the last one picked by the team captains. It says this to you: You are lower grade than the one I picked. The problem with this is it is discouraging. A random roll says to the people who roll they are all worthy.

Regardless of how you look at it you can argue that giving gear to the lower geared person is your choice. And it is your choice, but I personally feel there is a valid counterargument to that philosophy and have cited it.

Your policy is to do whatever you can to minimize the chances of a badly geared player getting an upgrade while maintaining the pretense that you support generosity.

My conclusion is that in reality you probably never trade gear and think nobody else should either, because gear is traded to someone who needs it. And if they deserved the gear, they’d have it already.

You see giving gear to a person who needs the upgrade as a moral flaw.

I enjoy giving a big upgrade to someone who may not have been expecting it.

I pity you.
