The content is designed for groups. Groups have to socially interact and that means taking other priorities or ideas into consideration.
So it's ok to shun someone who favors looks far more than stats? Because that would be the same according to what you're saying.

Regardless, it was never ninja'ing in the first place, and people just do not *want* to accept this, because once, you do accept it, the whole NBG rules falls apart.
hmmm, that's exactly what I was saying. Don't know where you inferred anything otherwise.

VanorDM - I will elaborate a bit.

When you have many people - let's say milions - then it's rather obvious that in common forum, in a specific topic you'll always find people with different approach to the topic. Because the people are different. But what people are talking here is no indication of their number. How many people doesn't post here?

We can only be sure that people with opinion A and B exist. We can be sure about what we saw. I saw people stating A and no people stating B on my server. I can be biased - because that I didn't meet people stating B doesn't mean they don't exist - but this can also lead me to the point that people stating A are the majority. At least on my server. Then I can think that they are majority overall.

In other words - it's hard to tell, since we don't have access to hard data and I can base only on my experience in the game.

No, that people will hold others accountable for unwritten unspoken rules and that it's unreasonable to expect them to actually talk in party chat to discuss them.

I much prefer the latter; you have no business setting my priorities.
Game communities are all about social conventions - you break the conventions the sense of community suffers.

This thread is all about discussing agreed conventions - of course anyone is free to break them and face the consequences.

Sorry, 2 different angles going on, I think I mixed yours up with the other. Apologies if I did.

I can't speak for everyone, but at the point when I don't need items to improve my play, I won't roll Need on them.

The point most of us are trying to make is that you should leave somoene's evaluation of what they need to them, and respect it. I'll point out again that my tank companion's armor is as critical to me as the personal armor of any Mercenary out there.

I don't know how that got confused with the point I was making. I said nothing of the sorts. I guess that's why tangents in threads can get so confusing.

My guess would be, if they don't have a need for an item, they wouldn't roll need.
