This is bad game design.

ELI5 version:

To some people, MMO does not mean forced grouping. They hate the idea of being forced to group, but some will gladly group at their convenience. Their main draw is the large,...

He can't.

He wants to be able to roll need on off-class items and take it from other people because he thinks his use for the item is better than theirs.

You take that back, I'm legacy and I'm very much self aware of all most some of my shortcomings.

You went wrong when you tried to enforce your [really dumb] item morality on everyone else.

Ok, so say you can turn in one of these rare drops for 1k seals. Or 10k. Are you going to be any less frustrated? Somehow I doubt it.

Even if they increased seals for turn ins it would be...

You do not deserve that item any more than someone else. What someone does with an item after winning a non-main-class roll is none of your business. You really need to understand this.

Not to mention, for people that have multiple or all 50's, how do you determine whether their "need for off class" is any different for "greed for vendor"? What would stop someone from rolling for...

But I thought you didn't want any changes to the loot system? Only for people to pass you gear because you need it for your "main" class, but they don't?

Right here:

Nobody's pushing you into any role. You can play whatever class you want. You...

This is the only legitimate complaint in the topic and completely not what the OP was getting at. OP literally said he's using a tanking class in dungeons to gear up his other "main" classes, and...

I'm not putting any words in your mouth, you yourself said that you want to take precedence for the off-class drops over people who would roll on it for their own off class or for GC turn ins. That's...

Imagine your tank rolling need on every gear in the dungeon because he thinks your use for an item is dumb and he knows better than everyone else.

It means he's running dungeons as a tank but wants to roll Need on healer and DPS gear because he think he deserves it more than people who would turn in that gear for GC seals or keep it in their...

Oh, I get it. This is a "don't roll on MY item, because MY purpose for the item is better than yours!" topic. If you're not playing the class whose item just dropped, you are no better and no...

If anyone needs an item to wear, need rolls take priority over greed. Greed rolls only apply if nobody rolls need, and to roll need you must be the appropriate class.

I really don't understand...

Uh, what?

That is the purpose of the greed button. It's to get an item that you have an alternative but completely valid use for besides wearing.

Just sayin', this post is not helping your case.

lmao how ridiculous some of you people are. Do you balk when someone calls a car an auto, automobile, a vehicle, or a ride? Better turn off your TV and computer, and never venture past your fenced...

Character, but who cares really? If you're offended by someone's innocent use of another term for a thing, you might want to stop playing multiplayer games and shelter yourself from any human contact.

Oh dear, Kari, it looks like you've angered a bunch of "gaming pros". They'll need therapy for years after reading your filthy casual gaming peasant opinion.

Artifact gear. It's quested gear with decent-to-good stats and has the job's iconic look.

lmfao what?

This isn't Java, buddy.

Hey guys, remember on the beta forums when people under level 10 whined about combat being too simple and being able to "spam 1 button to win forever"?

Good times.

I left a different kind of bone in theirs.
