Who Is The Real Loser?
I have read about people Needing on the Frozen Orbs in the random dungeon running, and I think I may have encountered it a few times myself.
Not that I keep track actually, it’s not like a Frozen Orb or the gold I will get from AH’ing it will make or break me, so I always Greed them myself and I don’t get upset or pissed at people Needing them, not even mildly annoyed, I just find it curious that some people really don’t mind looking like needy bastards.
And today I encountered a couple of players who took the “looking like needy bastards” to a slightly higher level.
It was a paladin and a DK, and they Needed on everything they could, ie every piece of plate that dropped.
First time I saw the paladin getting loot after a Need roll, I congratulated him, thinking it was for offspec, but after the third plate drop from a boss when they both rolled Need I had to ask.
“Why do you need all this stuff? Surely you have better gear?”
One of them answered coldy “offspec” but the other one was more up front:
“I am a fekking ninja.”
Fair enough, I wasn’t that bothered and I wasn’t gonna throw a fit in the run but it still amused me a little.
These people have obviously found a way to maximize their profit from every single run and really don’t care what other people think about them. It is just another variety of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
And I don’t care, like with the Frozen Orbs the plate gear I didn’t win with my Greed rolls will not make or break me.
It is interesting though how different people are, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to Need on something I didn’t need as an upgrade for my gear, in any spec. And if it would have been an offspec upgrade, I don’t think I could have Needed unless nobody else Needed for mainspec. Not even in groups like this, with people I most likely will never see again.
I guess Needers like the paladin and the DK think I am a loser for not maximizing my profits like they do.
I think differently.

I would probably have priestly hissy-fitted my way out of there to be honest – just on principle. It’s fairly pathetic level of ninja-ing, I mean nobody needs anything from heroics these days, not even the enchanting mats … but still.
I can’t tell if I respect the brass bollocks honesty of “Because I’m a ninja” or if it just infuriates me….
Tam´s last blog ..the healer’s dilemma
I’ve seen in in many more runs now, so I wonder if it is spreading.
It’s not so bad in the pre-3.2 instances since there is mostly blue gear, but when the tank needed on an apic spell caster ring in ToC I would have been pretty miffed had he won it since it was a real upgrade for my warlock.
He did apologize though when he saw I Needed and said if he’d win it he’d trade it to me.
