No you actually made assumptions because if you would have stuck to what I said you wouldn’t have been able to draw the false conclusions you reached. And what is really telling you made assumptions based on how you seem to think others operate.
Anyway I am getting off here, many things to do today but feel free to respond I just won’t likely read it.
I see I hit a soft spot. Funny how that bothers you but people being tools in general is fine.
Thats all my point was. Guessing you are a pronoun person lol
Everyone is a pronoun person. I just found that to be an odd thing to bring up in this thread. Clearly the pronoun thing triggers you more than me if you felt it necessary to bring it up out of nowhere.
Getting back to the actual point of this thread and what you call “people being tools,” no, I don’t condone people being tools. But I don’t think rolling on loot when you participated in the fight is being a tool.
The thing is, it’s usually an argument about the other person being overgeared and “needing” on loot they don’t need (according to the complainer). But if you removed those overgeared people and replaced them with people who “needed” the loot because they’re undergeared, they would be rolling, too. And you’re still losing the roll.
From my perspective this is largely a psychological issue - people don’t want to know they lost the roll. They were fine losing the roll when they didn’t actually click the dice and roll for themselves (personal loot), but something about seeing that your click lost and seeing what number you rolled just really sets people off.
Because unless the raid lead sets rules, anyone can roll on what the game allows them to roll on. Whether that’s for transmog, main spec, off spec or what have you.
If you don’t like it, run with a guild, static group or make tour own raid with loot rules.
It’s a pug. No one cares about anyone else’s feelings.
Insects and crustaceans (lobsters and shrimp) belong to the phylum Arthropoda.
The class Insecta (part of arthropoda), contains insects (no way!) such as mosquitos, beetles, and ants.
But lobsters also belong to the phylum Arthropoda, but are divided into the subphylum Crustacea, which encompasses other familiar organisms such as crabs, shrimp, and krill.
So if you think lobsters, shrimp and crayfish are a treat?
I have a fond memory taking our two year old daughter to a fancy seafood restaurant on my birthday, years ago. As we walked past the fish tank full of lobsters, she delightfully squealed, “BUGGIES!!”
They’re rolling need on loot they don’t need or can’t even use because they intend to sell it to strangers. Back when LFR was new and group loot was standard, Blizzard decided rolling need on items to gear up your friends was something they didn’t want to happen and created personal loot. I bet those players take paypal.
They think the best geared players deserve to get money from badly geared players, that Blizzard wants this to happen, and has designed the system to facilitate it. They think if those players deserved the gear, they would have it already.
The fact is that we hear complaints a lot that people are permitted to roll on items their class can’t equip, win multiple need rolls on identical items even though others have also rolled need, or win every item off a boss. I’d be curious how the supposed restrictions were implemented, because it seems they were not.
But I’m certainly not going to enter raids to find out. I’d never raid as long as loot distribution is controlled by those with no moral compass.
In fact, they probably treat others in their guild the exact same way. Not useful to them? Pay up, sucker.
While I understand the frustration… this is how pugs work, dude. Remember, those higher geared players are still contributing. And assuming they aren’t terrible, they’re likely doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. Their “reward” for contributing is to increase a friend’s chance of getting gear. Even if they win for transmog, that’s acceptable in my books. A reward is a reward, especially since stuff like mogs last much longer than the gear itself.
