So, appearantly I got added to a 'list'

[Orophin]

If I have a problem with that I simply won't join the group, but I see no reason to go out of my way to "scold" said person.

Personally I'd be much more concerned with the hundreds of players blacklisting you who don't say anything rather than the one that's making a scene.

Yet to see this mentioned, and can't find anything about it from searching. Though the only time I've done anything like this is when doing T2 farming, and the person who would typically be the 2nd tank gets to greed roll against the person who is currently tanking (which has been broken every time).

Friends? What are you talking about?

I never join groups where the leader reserves gear for themselves. I am sure there are a lot more people who don't say anything they just don't join your group. If you ever wonder why your group is filling up slow its probably because you reserve gear for yourself and a lot of people just won't join groups like that.

Yeap! I'm ok with this, and I do much the same. 9/10 times, I'll usually just run a G>N party, and like I said - claim the item for myself as the party lead so that I have it already. The benefit of G>N is usually that I can switch to whatever class is needed x3

Still, this kind of unnerves me a bit. It's b asically saying, 'you'll play the way I want you to - or else!', but I guess I kind of agree with the other posters. These probably aren't the kinds of people I want to work with.

Personally I join groups like that if the player is of the same role as me and I can have the other stuff if it drops.

^ This.

More of these type of groups keep cropping up lately, and just has me shaking my head. Greed party locks especially. "Everyone come follow the rules, except myself, because I'm special and get ??? item." The guy should have just blacklisted and added to his silly list and moved on though. /telling and arguing was just straight drama lamaing.

The best way to *fairly* create a *lock party* would be to let every person lock one item for themselves, and either put that in the title, or macro the list for someone joining to see, with a descriptor in the title. *One item lock per person, everything else greed* type thing.

It is your party though OP, I just hope people stop joining and inadvertently supporting those type of parties.

You are free to make a PF but realize people will do what they want in a pick-up-group setting. Everyone has an equal right to the loot they want. In a FC, the consequence is being kicked and possibly blackballed from other allied FCs. In a PUG? It's silly to expect people to fear consequences.

While I don't agree with the way most lock parties are set up, this attitude is just as bad if not worse. There is agreed upon rules when joining any PF, whether it be gear levels, experience levels, or general loot rules. Just because you don't agree with them, doesn't mean you join and dick around with the 7 other people who joined expecting something from a run. The GMs made it clear they can and will act on these things, and they should. If you don't agree with the loot rules, don't join. Simple.

As I have said, I wouldn't allow myself into an actionable situation to defy anyone's self-entitled rules. I'm just calling out the act of doing it in itself. It's selfish to lock out other participants just because they don't want to fairly lot against them. It's the attitude of a dictator. I might be going too far with that statement, but people that do this elicit nearly the same level of disgust in me as the idea of a dictator. Might be my ideals given where I grew up, who knows.

I firmly believe this kind of behavior is morally disgusting.
