So, appearantly I got added to a 'list'

Gear locking is common for Need/Greed party, don't see a problem other than people who double dipping in a need party.

I joined a coil group with the leader (a healer) locking healer belt AND tank hands in a Need party. The healer body drops, still rolls need on it without even thinking twice or ask if the other healer needed it. That's some shady double dipping, not only you are locking gears that is not your current job, you are still rolling need on everything you can use.

If I gear lock, it usually means that's all I care about. x3
