You got ninja'd. If the mage passes on the item, it should go to the next highest role. We almost had a similar situation last night in Kara. Our guild is no longer using dkp for kara so we roll on items that we want or call dibbs on an item and agree before we start. I didn't get to roll on Sunfury Bow of the pheonix last week because someone had dibbs. I'm ok with it, as it was his 42nd time killing Prince and the bow hadn't dropped yet. I felt his pain :( Wolfslayer will have to do, for now. A caster item drops off Moroes (can't remember what it was and no one had dibbs). 2 mages and a lock roll. The guy that wins the roll decides that the lock (lowest roll) would benefit more from the item. It would have been a debatable upgrade for the winning mage. He says, "Give it to ___". Luckily, most of the group realized that it was the wrong thing to do and spoke up. In this case, he wasn't trying to be a jerk, but didn't realize his mistake. The mage with the 2nd highest role got the item. I'm glad it didn't happen to us. There were no hard feelings. :) You should be mad. You got ninja’d.

I went on a run to The Crypts with a PUG. Mistake #1: expecting a PUG to be fair... but such is life. In this run, [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27416] Fetish Of The Fallen[/url] decides to drop. We're doing it in the Master Loot system, and manually rolling for those who are in it for need. Our party: Me (MM Hunter), Druid (who is our tank), Holy Priest, and Mage. I roll, naturally. Get a 4. Well damn. The druid, who also wants it (fair enough) rolls. Gets a 3. I'm on the ceiling with glee. Then, suddenly, Mage rolls. 'WTF?' thinks I. Mage gets, naturally, higher than either of us. Now? I'm ticked. Mage: "I don't really want it. Just give it to " This was one. Livid. Hunter. Just wanted to throw down my ‘OMGWTF’ moment, because the rant does help.

It's not the other hunter's (yes, singular...) fault I'm not feeling good, and still sick after 3 months. It's not his fault I don't have the DKP. BUT OMG, just ONCE... FEED ME EPIX!!

How do you explain to a "caster" that you really DO need that ‘Elegant Necklace of the Whiney Mage’?

And if your /roll beat the winning Need Roll that person just hands over the item. Nobody suggested that? Aah, this was a PUG, not a Guild Run. I was Tanking The Underbog a while ago when Gha'zan dropped his Talisman of Tenacity. That piece has a lot of Stamina, but Resilience? WTF is Resilience? (I wasn't familiar with the new PvP changes at that time). "Tank necklace?" I said. "It's for Healers," said our Priest, rolling Greed. Everyone else passed. I looked at it again. Loads of Stamina, but Resilience? I know that word but what context does it have in WoW. Maybe it helps the Priest when he overheals and pulls Aggro. More Stamina for more Health, and Resilience so he can take a hit or two while the Tank grabs Aggro back. Why did the Priest roll Greed though? Did he click the wrong button by mistake. Yes, all those thoughts flew through my mind at the speed of, well, though (which is pretty GD fast). "Fair enough," I said, and I hit Pass. Naturally Party Chat exploded with WTF? Why did you pass? I explained my reasoning and the Priest claimed he was joking, "that's why I hit Greed!" "I was wondering about that," I replied. One wise fellow summed it all up with "And that's why we always Pass on BOPs." If it was a BOE, why couldn’t you just do a /roll and compare your result to the Need roll scores?
