So It's against the rules to need for another job?....

If I'm on my level 39 Bard running Halatali, and a level 20 DoW piece drops, I may well want it for my lancer or pugilist. They'll be able to equip level 20 gear relatively soon (16 now), but it will be quite a bit longer before they can equip anything my Bard is currently wearing. So wearing good level 39 gear doesn't indicate a lack of need for good level 20 gear. (I still have the gear my archer was wearing back at level 20, but most of it isn't particularly good.)

That makes sense, I took the same approach like for example when running a lower level dungeon on my lvl 50 BLM and casting/healing gear with INT/MND dropped which my Conjurer/WHM would be able to use when they get to that level.... especially if it isn't aetherial stuff but some green themed dungeon gear I never had in my collection. Unless I'm in an antisocial team, if I roll on something to use for another class of the same type that no ones asked for because they clearly need it like a caster who isn't level synch'd and well equipped (for whom I'd pass) I might say like 'yay I totally need this on my WHM' if I win the roll and it's clear I didn't do it for my own class.

And ppl should realize that level 50 players who join lower level roulette are often there to help others be able to clear the dungeon. And that a DPS had to wait in queue for the privilege of doing so. But in my case, I made the decision to never again do Low Level Roulette on a lvl 50 character. The last straw was when I did Cutter's Cry with a new Scholar in there who wasn't very good- I gave a bit of advice like with placing pet near the tank vs on follow in the situations where we wiped because of tank not being healed enough, but none of it was criticism. And still it was me keeping both the Scholar and Tank from the brink of death with Physick while DPS'ing and sleeping aggro chasing the SCH through a lot of the dungeon. I was the one who explained the last boss for the first-timer as we went in, not the tank or other DPS, and when the SCH got it wrong with Chimera's blue/violet, and the time they kited the lightening ball back into the party and got paralysis I kept them and the tank from the brink of death, all while downing the boss with the other DPS. I passed pretty everything I could have needed on as a caster for the healer, except one hat I won a Need roll on for my WHM. 0 Commendations. That may seem petty to remark this, and I don't certainly don't expect one every the time, but this was a turning point for me- if you don't main a Tank/Healer and you've done the work of multiple party members, and answered all their questions etc. for no appreciation at the end, you might get where I'm coming from. Never again, I have plenty of ways to earn tomes on my lvl 50 char's without doing low level roulette.

When you get right down to it, different people have different ideas of what they consider "need" for a piece of gear. Some people may want low level gear to equip on a low level class they are leveling. Others may want the gear for desynthing, GC seals, glamour, spirit bonding, or in some cases just to sell. Who is to say that one person's need is greater than another person's? When you get right down to it, it's arrogant to think that your individual rules for handling loot should be followed by everyone else, especially in the duty finder. In the case of the OP, those players had absolutely no right to kick him for utilizing his "need" lot. He had the right to the "need" button and hit it. His purposes for hitting the "need" button are irrelevant.
