If, by some miracle of RNGeesus, a tank piece drops I ask if anyone needs it for their tank. If yes then I pass. If no I need it. If they state they are looking for it for vanity I greed it.

As said in many a thread, gear should drop from bosses only, keep the mats to side chests.
They are vanity pieces, all you have to do is kill one elite and you get enough allied seals for an i90 gear piece, anything between AF and i90 is vanity, retainer gear or company seal fodder.
