Community - The Most Likely Cause of the Game's Downfall

[Izsha]

I feel I can rightfully call people out because I always play as the job I need the gear on, I make certain to do just as much work as everyone else, I(and others who have the same issue) atleast deserve the respect to be given a reason just as you deserve the respect of doing just as much work and roll on the gear anyway.

You say you go on the proper need job and pull your weight. That's great. Then you go on to say that you deserve a reason for their choice to lot. The last part is the stretch.

Playing the role and doing your job are what give you the right to lot. I do not owe you an explanation why I am looting a piece of gear just because you showed up on the same role as me and did your job adequately. Owe means you did something for me so I should do something for you. Showing up and playing your job doesn't put me in your debt. I'm already doing that too.

Demanding I tell you why I want something is a direct implication that you plan to judge me for it. What does that information help in any way? If I tell you why I'm lotting something, then the only things you can do with that information is:

Nothing
Silently judge me
Not so silently judge me(verbal altercation, or try t9 convince me not to lot)
Take action (kick me from party so I can't compete for an item, or leave yourself in order to avoid competition)

what possible good comes from explaining what gear you are lotting and why? At vest nothing happens in which case I might as well have not said anything. Worst case there's drama, bullying, kicking or some other negative experience.

No one owes you an explanation or needs to justify why they click need. And certainly not just because you are performing the basic expected functions of your role. That's what you are expected to do all the time. You get no special treatment because you exist and hit buttons.
