Should i give away my item?

Community General Discussion
1

So i won a trinket in lfr, and at first i was excited because ive been needing a new trinket basically all patch.

Some grumpy guy started harassing me about how its not a good trinket for me, clearly upset he lost the roll.

However ive decided i dont want to use the trinket after all. Not because its a bad trinket or anything, it is better than my current one. But i still think i prefer my lame trinket and would rather keep that until the 10.1.5 trinkets.

So now i have a trinket i dont want. And a jerk who does want it.

I feel guilty keeping it, but i also dont want to reward bad behaviour.
Thoughts?

Edit: good news bad news. I caved and went to offer it to him. But hes either offline or blocked me for winning it. So he cant get it after all.

You worked for it, so keep it. If you dont want it, auction it or if its soulbound, vendor it. Do not give it to jerks

Never feel guilty not rewarding bad behavior.

Tell em to get stuffed. They aren’t entitled to your loot and with that attitude, I’d DE it right in front of them.

That’s when you disenchant the item right in front of them.

If you want to give it away, give it to somebody other than that guy.

Keep it.
Run a few simcraft sims to see if you have a combo that works.
Then decide if you want to keep it.

Don’t feel bad cuz some one wanted your reward and you wouldn’t give it to them. It’s yours.

Well,if it’s a upgrade which i would hold onto trinket wether good or bad til later on ,I would hold it.

I had people do just that hound you for something you rolled for ,only one i gave away due to it was a ring which needed the neck to make it work right,so no matter the harassment it wouldn’t have mattered in the end ,hee hee.

If you’re someone who consistently dies in the first 30 seconds of every boss fight, you should feel bad even rolling on loot and it should 100% go to someone else. If you’re actually contributing to the raid, nah, keep it.

i would give it to the grumpy guy if i didn’t want it, good things happen to kind people.

keep it might get a slight buff or use it to get an ilvl increase on some items

He’s on the forums right now, with tears in his eyes, typing up a post about how stupid the loot system in LFR is and demanding PL return “or else!”. He will accuse anybody that tries to correct his silly ideas of being greedy and toxic. Finally, he will make claims that the game is dying, and this is the reason why.

lfr is absolutely open season. if you win it and is is an ilevel upgrade, keep it.

and I say with a trinket, keep it. you never know when the trinket will be useful.

with the current gear tiering, if it is a step up on gear level but the same ilevel, you should still keep it, in my opinion.

example: you have veteran gear at 424, but you get a piece of champion that is lower ilevel but can be upgraded to higher, then keep it.

if the dude wants gear handed out, he needs to be in an organized raid.

I typically will pass on LFR loot , but it is because I have better already in most slots. What I get pissed about is when someone in all 441 gear rolls need on a 405 LFR item. That one kinda bothers me ,but the way the system is designed you are completely entitled to the loot that you rolled on and won fair and square. We are all people . We all let our feelings get the best of us sometimes. I would just ignore it and do whatever you want.

You won the roll, you use the loot as you wish. You can even vendor it.

You’re not obligated to be a loot piñata for others. You can if you want but you’ll gain nothing but karma points should you believe in such things.

I think the answer depends on the context of the entire conversation. Asking someone for an item is fine in my book so long as it is respectful and you accept the decision either way. I’m not even wholly against the argument of “hey that isn’t really good for your class/spec per what the “experts” say whereas it is great for me”.

But ultimately it is yours and acting like a donkeyhat pretty much, in my view, voids any kindness or courtesy I may have been compelled to give.
