Question about loot etiquette

[tdb]

Oh... you dont raid, you say? Then you dont need that ilvl anyways. For dungeons you're perfectly fine with ilvl370 or even 360 stuff. Even for EX-primals you're fine with wearing an ilvl370 ring.

Way to put words in my mouth. True, I'm not currently doing alpha savage. Our FC can't currently field a full party and based on the amounts of fail I've seen in normal alphas I'm not inclined to try savages with randoms. My friends share this sentiment. We have some recent recruits so hopefully at some points we will have enough active members. It remains to be seen if that happens before the next expansion or not.

You most likely dont even want the full set from AlphaNM - if you're so concercend about ilvl and people outrolling you on loot you "need", you should actually first check wether or not you do, aka what substats your job wants and if you get those on the NM, crafted or tomestone piece (...or the Savage-one, if you do raid after all).

Admittedly I hadn't done that at the time this little spat happened, but I did it afterwards and found out that I actually did need one more bolt. Which I got this morning. So no more bolt-related drama for me.

To be fair, it's drama you created yourself. At least this particular case.

It wasnt intended to put words in your mouth, but rather to counter a potential argument like "But you need to do Savage to upgarde that ring!" straight away and to make the point of: If you're not able to upgrade the ring, because you dont do Savage, you dont need that high of an ilvl to begin with.

...we're also in week 8 of this raid now and you havent checked what loot you actually need...? So, at that time you actually didnt know wether or not you needed that bolt - unlike your friend, who had informed himself about what he wanted and needed. I have two bolts sitting in my inventory that I rolled on just to get something - turned out: I actually have no use for them. And I feel actually bad about that - blindly rolling on stuff isnt the way to go... grats on your bolt and grats on actually needing it after all in the end.
