Because I have the same opportunity as everyone else to decide for myself if I roll Need or if I roll Greed or if I roll Pass based on my own loot priorities.

What someone else values or not has nothing to do with what I value or not.

I don't roll Need because you value the loot to be a need for me - I roll Need because I value the loot to be a need for me.

There are 4 of you in the group. You each get to roll. You each get to choose. If you decide to choose greed, that is your choice, not mine not anyone else's, just yours.

Please don't come here and say if I choose need and you choose greed and I win (obviously) I am somehow cheating you. You lost by your own choice.

^^ This

Really, folks: you don't own the loot until it's in your inventory, and prior to that, no one owns it. It's in escrow, it's being held til its owner is determined.

If you want it, roll Need; no one can trump your roll. If you're fine with your roll being trumped, roll Greed. If you don't want it, pass.

Not hard.

If the item is something that you are going to be upset over not winning, you should not be pressing greed.

Simply that we are in agreement.

Do I really have to state "according to the social contract" in my examples everytime we discuss? We talk together so much that I thought we understand each other without reminding that each post... It's their share following the social contract. If there are no rules (or default rules, as crica said) then this will belong to those who win roll for it.

In case you didn't know: Greed > Need. So if you're only one who chooses Greed you always win.

Unless you speak up and inform me you wish to have a "social contract" with me about loot in a group we are in together, then I have no "social contract" with you - I only have an obligation to play by the default rules of the game we both signed up to play together.

Why do you group up with people if you don't want to interact with them?

You know what? Now I know you are just trolling.

If you have something constructive to add to this, post it. Anything else I'll ignore.
