but that puts the onus on players to either exchange with their party members afterwards or sell the gear on the AH.
I'd rather that, than some jerk rolling Need on every single unidentified item in the Delve.
Round Robin ensures everyone gets loot, and nobody can really complain about "ninjas".
that said, I'd like a chat notice when someone gets a Blue or higher drop. just so we can ask for trades.
I have seen you mention this in a 100 threads because it worked once properly for you because you had decent people in a pug group. Why is no one noticing the obvious...
Just make it so you can only need on items that your class can use...

And you're expecting pugs to just hand it over? I don't really see how this is any different than everyone just need rolling TBH.
They should just make it so each boss drops a chest that gives everyone a piece of loot like the delve chest. No idea why they did it this old school way.
Never complain about people NEEDing on everything again.
Devs - make Round Robin the default for PUGs. Guilds and Static/pre-made Groups can adjust to Need/Greed as they see fit.
This is just the stupid thing. I've seen this same thing mentioned by you in several other threads, and I've refrained from commenting on it, but you decided to bring this idiocy to my thread, so my hand's been forced. I'll be fair - Round Robin probably works well in groups that ARE NOT PUGs. In a PUG situation, however, that's just the dumbest legitimate suggestion I've seen so far.
Boss drops a piece of Cleric gear now only the Rogue gets to see/loot it?
Because of that, right there. We're supposed to DEPEND on the ****ty, self-aggrandizing, egotistical in-game community (yes, the AFK PvP, Foundry exploit, Boss One-shot community) to respond to a "Would you kindly" by giving us loot that they can now say they came by rightfully? If the solution was as simple as that, people needing in NBG groups wouldn't feel so inclined to be HAMSTER about it, and a lot less people would complain, as they'd still be getting their gear. Good effort.

I still think a Need/Greed system could work.
Need roll means your current character NEEDS it so make it bind on pick up
Greed means you want it for an alt or to sell on the auction so make it bind on equip.
Then there would be no reason for a TR (just an example) to roll need on a DC (again just an example) piece. If He did in fact roll Need on it just to irk ppl off then fine place him on the ignore list and never group with him again.

Can only need on stuff you can equip is the simplest answer.
Actually, it would work fine. It's just that the typical MMO player can't see the obvious problems with proposed solutions like "Need only on class."

perhaps so. depends on who's turn it is.
but that puts the onus on players to either exchange with their party members afterwards or sell the gear on the AH.

Hence suggestion is useless.
I believe Dat D&D Other MMO does this as well, and it works wonderfully.
