    Like I said: Just go ahead and try.
    But don't be upset if you need to rejoin the queue afterwards.

    when the kick option pops up, ill will click yes. but not gonna yell on the chat that he should kicked or whatever.
    i dont care tbh. most of the time a new player is found fast and can move on.
    clicking yes stop the whine. thats the reason i click yes :P

    Enjoy your repair bill.

    Just the loudmouths like yourself who post trash like "LFRetard" on this forum.
    It's an apt name.

    You seem to be pretty bent out of shape over 30g.
    Look who's talking, Mr "waa waa I couldn't roll for 30g so I'm going to boot the needer".

    Yes thats right, as you probably have guessed, a guy needed on a single green mail item. It was like a belt or something. Instantly, like 3 people called him out, and demanded that he be booted from the raid. WTF? Are you such an asshole that you completely lose it when someone needs on a frickin green item?

    A GREEN ITEM. Its not like it was a blue or even an epic. It was GREEN. Why anyone would get upset and demand to boot the guy because of that is just beyond me. It also just goes to show you how entitled and selfish several people are when it comes to this game.

    It wasnt justified that he was booted, as he was doing rather quite well on the dps meters (i believe he was in the top 3 on the first boss).

    TL;DR - Get off your high horse and quit with the petty booting ppl that need on greens in LFR.
    Why is he rolling Need? Does he need it? If not, he can piss off, I need enchanting mats.

    it's a greedy thing to do; I wouldn't start the kick but I don't think I would be clicking no either.

    Except it's not that it's a 1/25 for any given individual, it's that they're not even giving anyone else (unless people are watching /loot) the chance (and some people are straight out denied the chance, ie if it's plate only plate wearers would even have the need option) that chance...

    So instead of considering the 1/25 chance for each individual, maybe you should think about the 24/25 chance of failure the douche bypassed by thinking they're more important

    All I'm criticising are the people taking this as a serious issue. It isn't. I'm just pointing out how/silly trivial it actually is... not sure how that translates to "bent out of shape".

    I'll pass and still vote kick you out of my group. Would that make you happy?

    He takes the attitude that it costs him nothing to need on anything he can, and he might get satisfaction out of it.

    I take the attitude that it costs me nothing to vote to kick people I regard as rude, and I might get satisfaction out of it.

    Wouldn't bother calling someone out over it though, I'd just vote to kick & move on much like they would need & move on.

    How many posts have you made in this thread? Seems you're taking this way more seriously than anyone else...

It's like stealing towels from a hotel and then going, "Oh well, they don't need towels anyway, there's like a thousand more where that came from."
    Cry more.

    The principle? Let's see if they exist if the item can't be vendored for gold.

    Who is declaring anything theirs? Others can roll too...

    My "1/25" thing assumes that all 25 roll greed. So the best odds in a perfectly fair situation is 1/25...

    So instead of considering the 1/25 chance for each individual, maybe you should think about the 24/25 chance of failure the douche bypassed by thinking they're more important
    If it's a lockbox, then this isn't applicable as everyone can roll need on it. If it's, like a plate item, then perhaps several can roll for it. Got nothing to do with important, if the roll is there on a shitty item, I'll roll on it because it's free gold. I do not care if someone else rolls need for it, or I don't get to win it. It's nothing at the end of the day.

    I think Greens also falls under the Need Before Greed that the old LFR system used, meaning only people who can use it will be able to roll. (If not correct me) Which means that some people have a chance to get more gold than others and why should they be allowed to?

    Umm... no, not exactly what I'm implying. You say you never kick bad people - then what if it were a tank that continually wiped the group because they were too bad (for example, falling down to their deaths on Elegon)?

    People who like calling others "retards". Oh the joys of the WoW community!
    LFR is populated with retards. Sorry for stating facts.

    You aren't the deciding factor.

    How is it being disruptive? The player rolling need is just going about their business, while you're making a drama out of it by initiating a vote kick. I would say it is you who is being more disruptive.

    How many posts have you made in this thread? Seems you're taking this way more seriously than anyone else...
    Lol... a few, I enjoy watching arguments over spilt milk, and refuting some of the stuff on here. It's fun. If I took it seriously, I'd be crying about 30g... oh wait...

    Everyone can roll need on lockboxes.

    Why? Because it's available to them. Free gold, yay. Too bad for you, buddy. Maybe a green will drop for your class which he can't roll on? It's not an excuse, it's reality - there will be competition for those need rolls.

    Here's the perfect solution to this: make it so that when you roll need and win, you immediately equip said item you just won, and get the DE results of the item it replaced.

    Not quite sure why people are still responding to Heidelstein, I doubt the mentally challenged are able-minded enough to understand or respond to conversations that are deeper than their limited comprehension. Let him win his shinies, they're pretty and I'm sure he could appreciate how they glimmer in the light.

    OT: As people have said before, it's the principal of it and not the "loss of a 20-30g".
    I shard everything I get and have an overabundance of enchanting mats that I don't need, and I don't AH them either - I packrat them. Enchanting mats, and greens, have absolutely no value to me whatsoever, those "1c pieces nobody cares about" are worth more to me. As others have said before as well, I wouldn't initiate a kick but I wouldn't hesitate on clicking Yes. If the needer continues to need then I may initiate a kick as well.

    And I'm not a baddie, I usually rank 4-7 place in damage in MSV and 10-13 place in damage in HoF/ToES...as discipline.

    Oh, so now I'm mentally challenged because I think the idea of rolling "Need" on greens is completely trivial, and there are a lot of crybabies in LFR? And somehow you're linking something so trivial in a computer game to something of considerable depth? Nah, I'm not the one who's mentally challenged here... I have something called "perspective".

    OT: As people have said before, it's the principal of it and not the "loss of a 20-30g".
    It's not about principle, because I guarantee that if the item was worth 0 most people would not give a crap. Hell, I suspect most people anyway do not give a crap about a "green" item. Get some damn perspective. These 'need' rollers are usually kicked out by only a handful of disgruntled crybabies, whereas the rest of the raid is going about its business, most likely not even aware someone rolled Need.

    Basically "Don't steal towels from a hotel because I WAS GOING TO STEAL THEM!!!"
