Rolling for an item then passing it to someone else, ok or bad?

[Kraak]

Yeah its the same guy.

Oh - ok. Yeah - just so we're clear. I'm up for carrying you through a 30 min Shroud anytime. Crazy as it sounds, even if you don't have greensteel weaps.




No - I just can't let that one go. Makes me giggle every time I remember that post.

The googles and napkin are too difrent issues really. I would have been suspicous of a paladin rolling on the napkin. The googles on the other hand could really be of benefit to nearly anyone.

As you and HSC are pointing out, the goggles are a little less clear. As for me, I'll pass them off to the rogue, if there's only one in party. Or make it a rogue only roll. But a S/B fighter looting a Splitter with 4 casters that need it, Pali taking the napkin, or a cleric taking madstone boots. That's just a personal request not to be brought along on future raids.

If in all this craziness, you mess up, take the wrong thing and or are conflicted and feel pressured into making a choice that's not good. No biggie. But that's different.

This could have been prevented by saying:

Do any of the casters/clerics/bards want to roll on the napkin?

And when the pally says he wants to just tell him, "No Deal!"

Why is this thread still going?

well we seemed to morph this thread into need before greed and seedy looting when raid gear in on the line ....krakk made a comment that there seems to be more stupid things going on then the goggled bc spoke up and it's fun ever since

[Strakeln]

Again, you can't "require" someone to loot it. You can request that they do and treat you, as leading the raid, with due respect. But again, this is more of a request. I request people assess need before greed and if it seems that they're struggling with this concept, then I enforce my desire the only way I can. Run a raid short, rather than pick up a greedy bastage.

Incorrect, you can require someone to loot it.

When the roll is won, you tell the person that you will hand the item over to them when it is just you and them in the raid. If they decide to play games or try and be tricky, loot it yourself or leave it in the chest.

[Kraak]

Well what HSC just said, and that we have a new "Class of the Week" splash page. Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but it sounds fun.

[Mithran]

Using this method to distribute loot is worthy of a /Squelch add *. That way, I'll never be confused by their rolls, again.

[Strakeln]

I can vouch, I've been with him on at least one of the times putting up a VoD item

And those guys are two that I count among my friends in the game.

No loot shenanigans with loot that was originally pulled under my name.

And if there are multiple raid loot items? Mexican standoff on looting at the end. Sounds like it would really irritate my hemorrhoids.

Only one piece of loot drops per person. I'm only talking about loot that drops for me, the max count of that will always be 1.

If others want to stick around to do similar things, fine, but I'm not switching the loot over until I'm certain that it will go where I intend it to.

So as I said, yes, you can require the winning roller to take the loot. Or, to avoid wording technicalities, how about this rephrasing: "One can ensure that the winning roller is the only person able to take a piece of loot".

Mine too. I can't remember the last time I didn't buy raid loot off a pugger just to frustrate one of my guildies who was hoping for a roll.

Well after hitting 200 +1 tomes in 4 weeks. I've ran out of things to do. So I thought keeping some nonsense going to compete with the "Why my Cleric won't run with you" thread might be entertaining. Granted that thread is 2 years old and still gets periodic mileage. But I had to set my site high.

I doubt I've got the muster to mutter inanely for 2 more years on this thread, but we shall see. I guess my only saving grace is that I'm only trolling the forum that I run on.

And I've run out of clever things to say.

[Thrudh]

Wait a sec - Thrudh - the guy that said everyone's carried you through the last 7 toons you power leveled because you didn't have greensteel weapons? Is that the same guy? Or is that someone else? I forget these things.

Heh, here's one of the quotes from Weyoun's bloodstone thread. I thought I made it pretty obvious I was joking

Roger that on most quests... However, DPS on the Pit Fiend is purely a function of gear. You're lucky people assumed that someone with a Legion tag already has a bloodstone and dual Mineral II weapons when you joined a Shroud raid

(note all the smiley faces - I'm just messing with you throughout this thread)

Although.... I did it find it funny that the guy who excludes people because they don't have the perfect build or equipment (i.e. not min/maxed) was running multiple characters through the Shroud without mineral II and a bloodstone... and therefore doing subpar DPS...

Sure he's a good player... I'm sure he wasn't "carried"... I think he's just mad at me because of that one spaghetti incident... Dude, I swear I didn't know she was your Mother!

My mother died of ovarian cancer two years ago dude. Ask anyone in Legion about it.
And all my dps toons have bloodstones.
Silver vicious of pure good for the win. Man you just don't get it.

Dude, at the time of the original post, you were BUYING bloodstones for capped characters... I gave you some **** (good naturedly too - I couldn't make it more clear I was just messing with you), and then and now you freaked out like I questioned your manhood...

You really take this game seriously don't you?

And you can't even take a good Momma joke? Yeesh...
