Is this right to do in LFR?

[Larwood]

Who are you to be in the position to delegate such loot?

Being the person who participated in the kill and fairly won the random loot roll puts you in the happy position of owning the item, to do with it as you please.

As a note, social etiquette in an MMO, whilst present, is not only ever evolving, but never universally agreed upon. There is no standard, universal agreed upon stance for social etiquette. Even if one was agreed upon, no one is bound to obey said social construct.

[Gringgotts]

I eat hour of twilight so I can eye for an eye procs, does this make me an asshole?

[SamR]

Go do Fall of Deathwing. Now once you're in don't do a thing during boss fights, wait until the timer is nearly up on loot then start the next encounter before rolling. Congratulations you just did exactly what I talking about because there is no trash. It works in the first half in some groups because not everyone enjoys standing around for 5 minutes waiting on loot from the last boss before starting to clear trash.

Like I said, complete ignorance.

Starting an encounter before the group is ready can be considered griefing and reported. Especially in between fights when people leave and join and you're often not at full raid. Wait, was someone else doing this or were you the one doing this?

[Larwood]

You must be mistaking me for someone else. At no time did I ever argue about the system Blizzard has in place. I'm arguing about social etiquette in MMOs.

My mistake I think. So what is your solution, to allow the leeches free reign? Does not your social ettiquette apply to them too?

[Frozenbeef]

They should make it so once you own an item you lose your +100 bonus so it's fair -.-'

[Zheryn]

It's a very good move. No reason the leechers doing crap DPS should get rewarded.

In every single game with a need/greed roll system, it is considered against social etiquette to roll need on an item you don't need or can't equip. Can you name one game where it isn't this way?

[sarasun]

And you still fail to acknowledge the point we are making.. you continue to use the failed argument of "you already have the item so need is not an option for you." WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHAT I DO WITH THE ITEM I RIGHTFULLY WORKED FOR?? If I helped kill the boss (highest dps on most days) how can you say anything about depriving me of my FAIR AND SQUARE NEED ROLL? It is my choice what I do with that item once i have it in my bags.. including DISENCHANTING IT right in your face if i want. Luckly for you, this isnt the case, this isnt what we are insinuating what is happening here, we are taking the item we RIGHTFULLY won, and giving it to someone we feel pulled their weight. End of story. Period.

I'll quote you down here so it's more obvious.

" It is my choice what I do with that item once i have it in my bags.. including DISENCHANTING IT right in your face if i want"

So, because you are allowed to do something, it's totally OK to do it...right?

WoW.

Prove me wrong.

I've noticed a lot of people who roll on the lfr stuff who already have the 397 version of the same item are rolling for guildies. I do it. Most of the end game guilds on the server i play on do it as well.

In the end its 20 some odd strangers who don't care what you or your guild needs, why should we care about their needs/wants. I earned the right to hit need when i helped kill the boss, what i do with my shiney is none of your concern. If i want to pass it off to someone i know who's had terrible luck on the reg version on it and it will help a guild run its my choice. If i want to be the only person hitting need against the guy who afk's every fight just to win said item and shard it so he can't have it is also my choice. Deal with it

LFR is a tool that serves 2 functions. Letting people without the time/skill see endgame content, and gearing up alts. We're using the system as blizz gave it to us with the rules they gave us. If you don't like it start opening tickets demanding they either scrap it, or break it by making the loot rules overly restrictive or complex.

[Inca]

Keep playing horde. It's not for you to say who deserves what.

[SamR]

WoW.

Prove me wrong.

A flood of angry threads on the official forums about people demanding changes to the LFR loot system because people are able to need items they don't need or can't use proves you wrong. Oh, and Blizzard class restricting items to mitigate some of that idiotic needing was greeted warmly by the community because it cut down on idiots needing on stuff they shouldn't even be equipping.

Next change, fixing people winning double items. Again in response to people angry at the need/greed system being abused(though this is not really the fault the player. Only a dick move if they leave without giving someone else one of the items).

[Vargas]

On my Mage and hunter who have all tier already and most other gear from raid. I will need on the items I already have.

If I win such item, I will use recount and determine which person I feel deserves it. Obviously I inspect the person first to see if he's gemmed/enchanted as well.

But normally I give it to the best healer/dps.

You are in no position to decide who has "earned" what; its not nor will it ever be your call to make. You know you are being an asshat, and are just looking for like-minded people to tell you its okay probably because you feel some guilt knowing what you are doing is a douchebag thing to do.

I would love to see a Fraps of your LFR runs where you're constantly in combat the whole run. I've seen plenty of AFKers and semi-AFK slackers kicked from my LFR groups. It's not hard. As soon as you mention someone is AFK in raid chat, people jump on them right away.

I was in a LFR raid I think 2 weeks ago where a paladin tank was afk for the trash leading up to the first boss. He came back to one of my guildmates making a sarcastic comment in raid chat about how nice it would be if someone was tanking the trash mobs (the other tank had HORRIBLE threat issues, and a couple DPS had died). He started talking smack about my guildmate and during the loot roll after killing the first boss he realized we had 8 or 9 of us in that LFR raid so he decided to trash talk all of us.

To help himself to avoid getting kicked, he wouldn't roll on loot so he'd get 5 minutes to get people in position to start clearing trash where he'd chain pull so he still couldn't be votekicked. Healers were yelling in raid chat that they had no mana and the entire raid turned against this tank. Sure, we talked as much trash as the tank but it was hilarious watching him do anything he could to stay in combat long enough to avoid getting votekicked. Finally while we were doing trash for Hagara people had stayed behind because they think loot won't show up in their bags if they move ahead so we had some deaths in that trash. The tank finally stopped for the raid to rez 5-6 people who had died and the tank was votekicked the second we were able to do so.

No it doesn't. Even if we ignore the fact that they are not exactly the same issue, a vocal group of people pushing their own morals is not etiquette. The fact that the outrage was so widespread in fact suggests that this was happening a lot, ie. the norm.

Blizzards changes have nothing at all to do with etiquette, they are enforced limitations on the system which removed some loot abilities which would simply never make sense.

Who are you to be in the position to delegate such loot? What if the loot dispute is between a tank and a healer?What good does recount do then?

If he was eligible for tank loot then it's either him or the other tank that could of rolled anyway, derp? Also, if someone is doing less healing than the Shadow Priest, that's usually a good indicator of whether or not they pulled their weight.

Because combat logs show who started the encounter, right? ...

Actually, if he wins the roll for the item fairly, he is in a perfect position to decide who has "earned" it in his eyes. It will always be his call to make, since he won a fair roll between everyone else who also tossed their chance in.

[SamR]

If it was the norm, why would there be outrage?

Can you think of about other action in WoW that's in line with social etiquette that's caused so much outrage?

[Espirion]

So some people feel that the Warlock using bane of Agony and Fel flame as filler (doing 10k dps) should recieve loot over the warlock properly following his rotation doing 30k dps? There should be a skill cap to join LFR, and people saying how are people ever going to replace their pvp gear? New dungeons say hello Firelands says hello.
