You aren't alone in this. Were you to present this in game, I imagine you would have many more people agreeing with you. I also suspect, were you to put this in the context of say, a particular person's FC, then more would probably agree that group needs are valued more than an individuals, and thus would provide a more tangible example of where a progressive upgrade would trump a vanity roll.

I highly doubt anyone that has contributed to this would say that me getting a drop for vanity is more important than another member of my static team getting an upgrade that would make completing content easier/faster. Likely, they would say that it makes sense for me to pass and let said member get the upgrade, then roll on the next one that comes around.

The unfortunate truth is that this same thinking doesn't apply when it comes to a random person.
