It’s not.
There’s a rogue quest that requires approx. lock pick 80-90 (I say 80-90 because it can fail at 80 or succeed at 80) to get poisons. You want poisons, you level lock picking at this stage.
That and it’s a minor inconvenience… until important recipe drops out of the chest. (Or BoE Blues)
Damn, looks like the people that were prepared for locked chests are going to have a hay day!
So what about anything after that?
They throw all kinds of things at rogues that are solo and require picking, but honestly I don’t remember offhand what they are.
The poisons requiring lock pick is fresh in my mind because I did it like a week ago.

Ima dip out at this point since it’s just Broozer being obnoxious and yammering on that that keeping utility to yourself is screwing the party except when rogues do it.
Feel free to do it, but if you start having difficulties getting decurses and buffs, just remind yourself that nobody is entitled to anyone else’s party utility. (per your logic.)
Rogues are so replaceable in SoD, I’ll just boot one that tries that at this point. (The mobs living a second longer is not worth dealing with a ninja.)
Good day all.
All of this arguing when the solution is simple. If our rogue doesn’t lockpick chest for the group, they get group kicked.
DPS are a dime a dozen, and most of them are better than rogue for cleave content like dungeons.
Having a more useful party member is more valuable than anything in the chest.

You’re just making up situations that don’t exist and being petty. Have fun rolling on other people’s stuff.
You’re right! I forgot about that. Beyond that point it seems optional.
Your group is going to love waiting to find another person and the new person is going to love starting the instance late, I’d love to see you actually do this in game lmao
Rogues have weak cleave. No one is even going to notice you’re gone until the last boss, and maybe not even then.
Gonna be crazy when the Rogue finds another group in 1 minute and clears the dungeon before you
It’s no different than any other gathering profession “rules” inside an instance.
If it’s a group decision to clear extra trash in order to get to the chest then of course, it’s a group roll.
Two rogues in the group, or a rouge and a smithy? Then it’s a roll off between the two.
Solo rogue or smithy, didn’t have to clear extra trash? Their prerogative.
This unwritten rule is older than a lot of the posters here I’d guess.

You’re just coping and seething at this point. DPS sit around begging for groups longer than it takes to run the dungeon.
Especially single target rogues looking to join cleave farm content. You were lucky to get a group and you blew it to be greedy.
That’s how I do with a group.
If it’s a situation like Stocks where you’re clearing the room anyway (meaning not optional really) I pop it and offer group roll. If the chest is out of the way but we know it’s there, we decide to get it or not, then group roll after I pop it. If they decide they want to push forward without the chest, I may or may not go back for it later.
That’s the thing, what you guys are acting out just never happens, and won’t ever happen. People always want Rogues for their high DPS and it won’t change anytime soon, you’ll just be in your corner seething about a chest.
No one rolls for mining/herb nodes bro

I do.
If I know there is another miner/herber in the group, I offer to roll on it.
A little courtesy goes a long way in making a happy smooth group. It takes 2 seconds, no biggie.
Exactly, if there is another miner/herber in the group. Same goes with locked chests, people that have access to them can roll.
I hear ya, but don’t see it the same.
If there are two miners/herbers there, then it’s fair to roll. If only one, pick it, if not it sits and goes to waste, right?
If there are rogue/eng/smith or two rogues, it doesn’t matter who pops it (though as a rogue not spending mats to pop it, I always offer) it’s still a group roll.
Keeps the peace, man. Everyone is happy, smooth run, no complaints.
Go in with a group with the attitude that you are operating with the group.
If I wanted to pop chests solo I always can - by myself.
