No, You May Not Roll on Items for Another Class and Strip Out the Mods

Murder = against the rules by law

Looting an orange item you can use =/= against the rules.

That is all that matters.

Not based on that list,

but on your multitude of unabashedly ignorant posts in this thread:

"Murder = against the rules by law" because a bunch of people got together one day and decided that murder is important enough to warrant a formal written contract of the social expectations so that there is absolutely no confusion over the matter.

For all intents and purposes, that is exactly what is happening in this thread as well. The implicit, unwritten rules of conduct around loot behavior are being discussed and formalized by the community affected by these choices and their collective opinions on the morality of the issue.

I am not, for one instant, equating the MORAL implications of murder to need rolling on orange gear. Clearly one is a lot further down the moral scale than the other.

I am, however, covering why the argument of "because I can" is JUST AS INVALID for making any comment on the morality of this action as it would be for making any comment on the morality of murder, or, for that matter, the morality of ANY action that is physically possible.

Anyway, in that "different" thread, the one with 50+ pages, the same handful of people try to defend ninja looting. It makes for comical reading.

Seems like it's the same handful of people here, too. At least it's not the other way around!
Cake is a lie; there is only pie.

You people still cannot seem to understand that the 'loot rulez' aren't as easy as you make it out to be. The orange armor in this game is COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE. If they can use it, they can need it.

Don't want ninja looters? Don't play with PUG's.

And you cannot seem to understand that I'm offering NO opinion on the morality of need rolling oranges for appearance. I have not once in this thread stated a moral judgement on the issue one way or another.

I am simply explaining why the argument "because I can" is not the thread-ender it was intended to be, and is in fact a completely meaningless addition to a thread whose essential purpose is to discuss the morality of an act within the social structure of this game.

Not only is it meaningless here, but in fact "because I can" is an invalid argument for almost ALL moral discussions. Almost all actions of moral interest CAN be performed by a human obeying the laws of physics; those that can't don't tend to present much of a moral dilemma at all, given that morality is about human CHOICE, not imaginary circumstances that could never exist.

(As an aside, you also seem to have no understanding of "authority", where it comes from, and who ultimately grants it... I weep for the civic future of whichever country you come from).
