Raids: The Unwritten Rule?

[Ghastly]

I would defend and hug the lala
You shouldn't worry, there's no unwritten rule

[Evangela]

There's no rule at all about loots in CT/ST/WoD. even if it's not an upgrade for you, you can loot it for glamour or whatever.

losing the roll to the others? deal with it, losers. can't blame anyone but the RNG god.

There's no unwritten rule in DF. If you need a piece of gear for any reason, it is up to you how you choose to roll on it if you have the ability to roll need. Anyone else's need of it doesn't automatically trump yours. There are polite gestures you could make by greeding or passing if you see that someone else needs a drop for an immediate upgrade when you don't, but that those players were willing to act that way over you winning something that was an upgrade for you just goes to show how inconsiderate they were. They threw a fit, you didn't do anything wrong on your end.

Some people make it their unwritten rule to cry/whine everytime they lose a roll - but in the end, they still won't get the piece.

ROLL HIGHER NEXT TIME.

Off topic but I wish I did this...lost a good roll of 95 to 99...

[LalaRu]

I roll because I can.

Some Lalafells just want to watch the world burn.

I think you should not able roll loot if you do not join for the battle because there is almost always few slackers that sit at the starting point then pick up loot after fight is over and see zero effort into it.

There are also impatient people who pull bosses even though they see a person moving on the map but slightly too far to reach the room in time. It wouldn't be fair to be loot locked because you grabbed water or opened the door and arrive 20 seconds later than the rest.

...Do raids have an unwritten rule, where if you join a group in progress, you can't roll on upgrades? Is it considered "stealing" to outroll someone?

Plan to go back and read the other replies, but replying before i forget to.

Welcome to 'World of Dingus'. The healer that left probably would have left if ANY piece other than the one he/she was looking for had dropped anyways. Depending on when you run it, you can see this alot-tons of DCs right after loot drops from a boss....

Anyways, tell you what my buddy told me when i started WoD and he was teaching me the mechanics, "Lot all the things!" If you can lot it and you were there for it to fall from boss, you should lot. So much drama happens there, i wouldn't let that situation bother you.


That said though, if you you ever can 'Need' something and you don't really need it for anything other than glamour or completionism(real word?), that's the time you may want to 'Greed' it or just abstain if someone speaks up and say they are looking for it. And that is only if you choose to do that, because-again-if you can lot it you aren't breaking any unspoken rule by doing so.
