Thank you blizzard for letting me know that I can and SHOULD at every opportunity press NEED on an item regardless of whether it's an item I should take or not. The next time a Resto Druid needs on a strength mace, I won't fret! I will take comfort that in the future I can ninja someones item that has no relevance to my character.

Similarly if you're joining a pickup Raid you're at the mercy of the raid leader, who may hand his buddy a drop for no reason other than to unfairly take items from the raid group. This may not be usable advice for everyone, but: the best way to ensure you get the drops you want, or type of drops, is form a group yourself with friends/guildies you know and trust.
Back to the need/greed system though, it's essentially a limitation in it not being able to determine spec, and our CS department just can't play arbiter for every drop to determine who 'deserves' an item more than someone else. While it can be a frustrating situation, I hope at least that makes sense. I really recommend reading the following articles. They have a ton of info on why things work the way they do: That said, there have been ongoing discussions on at some point revisiting the need/greed system in dungeons. Until such a time and day as the dungeon loot system changes, be well aware that you'll be competing for loot, but if you have the resources - go with friends. |

Typical response debasing a logical response and providing no rebuttal, requests, or questions. Why bother? |

Guh! I clarified in that thread, obviously fish eat other fish, but I'd think they'd be in the water and eat them, and not stand on the shore and cast a fishing pole into it. Of course the Jinyu employing fishing nets kind of ruined my theory. |
