    I don't know if having a new rolling option is going to solve anything.

    Sure, granted people roll on gear they can't even use. Is leveling in this game so difficult? Does having a 50 in a particular job grant you some level of awesomeness that you should be rewarded from then on, forever?

    I guess what I'm getting at is that since I've started playing this game, I've known many people that have every job leveled, merely for the purpose of being allowed to roll on anything. Here I would be, playing bard, being a bard that is all I play, and someone like that, with every job, trying to talk me out of rolling on "need" on a drop that I wanted for the only job I played.

    I guess I just have issue with anyone rolling on "Greed" on stuff without thought. Just because you have a particular job at 50, doesn't even mean you have time to play it or even like to play it. I think having a job leveled that you don't even like and rolling on gear for it, is about as bad as rolling on gear for a job that you haven't even unlocked. I've known people too that roll on stuff for jobs they haven't unlocked. Often these people only log on to raid, so I knew they had no intention of ever leveling that job. They just rolled because of the "pokemon" factor, as I'd call it. Gotta catch em all (loot)!

    In the end it doesn't really matter, it's just pixels. The only thing that I actually find troubling is that whole politeness factor. Just, why can't people not be jerks all the time and just realize that like, certain people will enjoy whatever piece of gear more and let them have it, that they maybe can only have maybe 3 jobs that they will ever really play and any gear more than that is just kind of silly (or unless they are just incredibly bored and don't log off much). :P

    Also, I guess I thought I'd add: Those of you that make premades, but pug that one extra person. I like to pug in party finder sometimes, so often I've been that extra person. How unpleasant is it when some piece of gear drops, it could even be for my main class that I happen to even be on, and without any prior agreement, they assume I'm going to pass for "little joe" or some hapless person from their premade that "really needs the gear". In fact, it won't even come up that I'm even there. It's just "Congratulations Little Joe!" when the item drops and if I rolled for some reason, they are just horrified. I don't know why people should be so shocked. I often find myself passing in these situations anyway, but just feeling like a fool. I won't even get a thank you. Not that I need one. It's just, they just expect such behavior, when me joining this group, had no such covets listed beforehand that I'd just pass everything for the "experience" of raiding with such a "awesome" group... :x lol Often, when these situations happen, I wasn't even aware I was "the pug" till the end. As far as I knew, everyone joined like I did, but it became pretty obvious when the loot roll window popped up that everyone besides me were "pals".
