I like WoW loot rules compared to what they used to be (everyone taking everything no matter what) so that now it is what you equip dependant i.e. plate can only get plate etc.
They need to take it a step further and dependant on your dungeon role i.e. if you are a deeps you can only need on deeps gear even if it is your type of equipment.
This came about as I was running some normal Cata instances last night and as a plate wearing dps the amount of times tanks ninja plate dps gear is unreal.
Had an axe I needed took twice, plate legs twice and a neck once. The tanks reasoning everytime? I need it for levelling.
So was running Throne of Tides for the third or fourth time, the legs drop again the tank ninjas again. I was polite about it but asked why he took it?
"I need it for levelling."
"Well I need it for dungeons, its the best I can get before heroics"
"So what, I need it for levelling"
I fumed but didn't say anything. Next boss a tank trinket drops, which I promptly roll need for and win, just to teach the guy a lesson and my god the explosion of nerd rage. It went something along the lines of...
"WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING YOU NOOB?!??! (all in caps) ITS A TANK ITEM!! I NEED IT!!"
"Just like I needed the legs?"
"I needed the legs for levelling as well you noob!"
"So its ok for you to ninja for an item you don't actually need for a dungeon but not for me?"
"But I NEED it for levelling... blah blah"
Another few minutes of abuse before the healer and the rest of the deeps point out as well that if the tank wants to roll on off spec so should everyone else be able to. He screamed some more and left. Funillly enough I dont have a tank OS I just wanted him to know what it feels like, I ended up giving the trinket to the mage to disenchant.
Really annoys me the memememeeeeeeeeee attitude of players. From now on I am going to start taking tank peices as soon as they drop in case a dps peice drops. Then I will offer a trade to the tank for the dps (will give it to him anyway at the end if no dps gear drops) because I am just sick of the ninjaing and being left in the lurch.
I feel like a nasty sod doing it though which annoys me even more
