Greed / Need for this game?

bardkesnit

I'm a long-time MMO player, and am familiar with the Need/Greed/Pass system as used in other games. The general rule of thumb I've always used is "Need if I can use it and it is an upgrade, Greed if I can use it, Pass if I cannot use it."

After running several Skirmishes with multiple characters over the course of several days, I realized I had never won a roll. Then yesterday, I saw one person win 3 rolls in 1 Skirmish. A quick glance showed a few people rolling Need on everything. I can understand someone rolling Need if they need an item and it drops. But these drops were Green "Unknown Item"s, so there's no way the person could know if the item is actually an upgrade.

Is rolling Need for everything the norm for NW, as opposed to the convention used in other games?

Yes, sadly.

Usually on the first non class specific item roll most people will Greed but there is always someone who Needs and from then on everyone follows suit.

I set up a loot tab so i can keep an eye on who rolls what for what. If they roll Need on something i know they dont need, then i need it as well.

It is easy to argue that we all need Diamonds.
