Maybe they've been farming this instance over and over for weeks just trying to get this specific item because it's the final piece they need to complete their outfit. It might even be the only reason they're currently playing the job that can Need on it (which would make the suggestion that they shouldn't Need on it rather inane).

Now I actually agree with you when it comes to rolling Need to sell or turn in for seals. But I'd never just assume that's the case when somebody rolls on something. It sounds like that's likely what happened with the OP. He actually did need the gear as gear, not for seals or gil. But the rest of the group acted like he was being greedy to take his loot.
It depends on what they're rolling for. Usually when you SEE them with that piece as glamour, ie you know they've already gotten it. Now in this particular case they might have turned in the old one or desynthed it, but that could be on purpose too. But when it comes down to accessories and especially belts. You can't glamour belts at all. So if theirs is better already, it's a pretty clear indicator, and with acc, it's almost always a clear indicator due to them being good for GSM desynth.

Basically only if it's almost guaranteed do I ditch. I don't roll on things in low level dungeons in the first place, so someone needing an item for an alt class has no purpose, since it would use the same thing as they are currently using, meaning they are needing for the current class/job as well.
