Raids: The Unwritten Rule?

[Kallera]

No there isn't some unwritten rule regarding when to lot on drops(besides, you came in to fill a hole in their party, which may or may not contain other people from df).
Leaving in a huff because you didn't get the drop you wanted though...that's inconsiderate.

Nah that's just being an enormous cry baby

The fact that A.) It was an upgrade, and B.) You had joined in progress, meaning if they called it and didn't tell you after you joined since you wouldn't know that, they are just a bunch of twits. I'd say don't worry bout it too much.

[Woggers]

If you rolled on the drop for the boss that you're locked out of, yeah I can understand why the other healer was upset. But if you participated fully in the fight l, you have just as much right to that drop as the other guy. Granted this is the good Sam way and not everyone thinks this way.

Honestly, if someone were to join in progress, end up being locked out of a boss and win the subsequent roll on a need...I'd be ok with it.

sure you didn't technically "earn" anything but this is just a game and there's no rule prohibiting you from doing so.

I would need/greed on something in the same scenario depending on how long I've been waiting for a specific drop.

I would have a problem if you needed, won the roll and then dropped. But that should go without saying.

[Musashidon]

nope roll on whatever you want, participate or not. need or not. everyone is entitled to the loot that drops.

[Craiger]

Sorry you had to experience that, but that guy and the others you mentioned, are just douche-bags that you should ignore...

When you raid in higher difficulty raids (Coil right now), then the "rule" is to at least respect what other players want, and not just roll on it unless you have checked with others, but if it's an upgrade for you, then you have all right to roll.... And all that doesn't even apply to WoD. Just roll on everything you need.

[Kikoten]

It was just a belt, pretty much. It wasn't something huge and flashy like a robe or a hat. I didn't start running WoD actively until I found out I could get a good weapon with poetics, so I guess I'm technically still new to raiding.

[Demyx]

Many times on my Dragoon when i was getting him geared up I lost out to other Dragoons that didn't need it, but did so anyway, but I never once complained about how it was unfair and they didn't need it.

I got the feeling that I would've never got an apology from them either so I just rolled with it. That healer sounds as though he is a drama queen and he would've done it to a different healer anyway. Try not to worry about it, don't let him ruin your gaming time :3

If the gambled loss of digital doodads serves as the catalyst for rage quitting and offensive language, then the need for checking oneself into a gaming addiction treatment program is in order.

Folks, there is a much bigger and alarming picture here regarding how gaming has become a substitute for true fulfillment that only real life can offer.
