Stop Giving the "Need" Command for Drop Gear in Dungeons to Higher Geared Players!

Ohh get off the soapbox and stop with the sophistry (you are doing it again)... Don't make assumptions about my personal experiences pls. I've been annoyed at RNG not players for RNG favoring them, there is a massive difference between the two. Never not once have I felt an item has been taken from me by another player unfairly, I have always been able to roll need on what I want.

I didn't feel the reply because Saito_S pretty much summed up the sentiment.

Been playing on the Choas datacentre since 2.0, never been such an etiquette. No one person telling you to do something does not reflect sentiments across the entire datacentre. Or you think you are always on the better end of everything "I don't roll need coz I'm so nice", "ahh well maybe your datacentre sucks coz mine was so perfect"... Sure I've not quoted directly but tell me how this is not your argument? :P

However! If you could come up with a rational explanation how this behaviour of mine might actually harm the community as a whole (think Darth Traya's story to Revan on giving a beggar money) rather than emotional arguments and opinions you have without much constructive build-up, then I could very well change my PoV on the issue and actually support your cause. Otherwise we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I await your constructive reply.

One thing I would like to say in regards to above is that my argument is nothing but pragmatic as there is a use for these items outside of just gearing. Your argument is purely emotional and relies on the emotions of yourself and other players. So called me out on being the one basing their opinion on emotion only is rather hypocritical as that is all your argument, you have nothing else.

The pragamtic argument you don't want to listen to and keep going back to talking about your feelings, so tell me how you want a discussion?

I initially failed to apply nuance the OP and misinterpreted the responses throughout the thread through red-coloured glasses because of it. I was derailing the thread responding to primarilly emotional reasonings I tunnel-visioned on at that time. I think we both have been a bit guilty of this, haven't we? But I'll take the blame for inciting it. Time to move on I guess.
