It is literally the definition of courteous. If you don't need a piece of gear or feel another person needs it more it's courteous to pass on it. I honestly don't know why you have to say things like "fragile sense of self-importance" do you like turning gear into seals that much? Do you so fundamentally believe in the right of people to turn gear into seals without typing a few words like "Just say something if you need an item for an alt class" that you have to make these posts about how we are all bound by the loot window? These are the same posts I see every time someone makes a thread about loot and they seem just as farcical every time. Of course it's common courtesy to yield to people with greater need! "Oh well you can't possibly tell if someone actually is telling the truth, I technically need those seals, etc, etc" ... what nonsense!

My beliefs, desires, or comfort are not always more valid than a strangers. The worst part is the majority of these loot issues could be resolved if people talked it out but you've got one side pretending they're Gordon Gecko and the other side silently fuming about loot rolls. Honestly, I understand it has a lot to deal with the ever decreasing value of loot and the changes in standards that creates, but every time I read these painstakingly crafted posts that do nothing more than justify every single type of shitty behavior with relation to the loot window I can't help but roll my eyes.
