"Need" should check ilevel

I don't know what to tell you. The point of gear is to improve stats. This is just so obvious to me. It's like in the same way water is a life giving necessity. When someone takes water and washes their car, that's fine I guess. Though for that person to say "You can't prove to me that my use of water is any less important than stopping people from dying from thirst", I'd just be gobsmacked. That's the same thing I feel when I see these loot arguments where the 'win condition' for you is a game where people needing on gear to vendor it is just as valid as it going to someone who needs the stats and will be really happy with that gear. I don't want to have that kind of game nor do I want to play with those kinds of players.

Vendoring gear will never be as valid as a player using it. It's crazy to read all these arguments now because people wanted to shard/vendor gear in LFD runs. They're the same arguments when people were behaving this way in World of Warcraft and came up with these relativist arguments to explain themselves back then. Heck I still remember getting chided for rolling greed on a two handed sword in RFC because everyone on that server (Elune) would pass on every single item and then /roll for it.

EDIT: I guess you could say I believe players have a universal right to upgrade their gear, these games are just wider than the TOS. If you want to need on every drop in your High Level Duty Roulette for seals, hey whatever, but I still maintain that's what the GREED button is for and you're completely overlooking the way the system is intended to be used in favor of treating it like some kind of responsibility absolving god-machine. After all why can you even still greed when need is enabled for you? Certainly there's no reason to click greed if you can click need, after all ... greed is just a different kind of need isn't it?
