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

According to whom do you "deserve" a piece more? You? An understandable, if flawed, perspective. Each person in a group "deserves" a piece that drops from a downed boss equally. Since each person has an equal claim on a given item, an impartial system for distribution had to be implemented. NBG worked fine in WoW because you only had to worry about yourself; pets, demons, ghouls and elementals didn't require gear.

Once companions who required gear came into the picture in this game, the paradigm changed, and NBG is no longer sufficient, as a companion's requirement of upgrades suffices as a valid "need", despite disagreement on companions "requiring" a given quality of gear to remain adequately functional outside groups. Since there's no objective determination of that factor, it has to by nature rely on a given player's perspective.

You're in an instance. I'm in an instance. It doesn't matter what role either of us fill. We were both there along with two to fourteen other people. Each person has an equal right to stake a claim to anything they want which drops as a result of their effort (in conjunction with the group, of course). They don't have to give explanations, they don't require others' approval.

Why would I run a PuG to improve someone’s situation (gear improvements) that I'll likely never see again when I can run with guildies and better my situation regardless of who gets the gear?

They really need to add class restrictions to the need button. The problem won't go away until they do.

Nope, it's basic understanding of the English language. You taking an item created for another class when that class is present in the group is you being greedy or selfish. Either you don't understand the meaning of basic English words, or you're greedy. It's one or the other (may both).

It's ok guys, I ninja looted enough from other players that my companion can tank. Just let me pull him out..

Work with me here... you just disagreed with me because you agreed with me.

In short, just what I said... how does this harm my reading comprehension, exactly?

What I read from this is you have absolutely no argument so you are forced to resort to sarcasm. That's fine we can play along with you.
