My main is a 30 warrior now, and I keep my mitts off nice blue staves and try not to grab BOP stuff I won't use, but most BOE stuff, I roll for, and those who group with me know that I'll happily give it up to them IF THEY'RE GOING TO WEAR IT. If they're just going to sell it, I can do that as well as they. I also notice that the rogue or hunter who gripes (and it's always a rogue or hunter who whines, a mage/priest will ask for the item nicely) is usually the one slurping up all the good mail/mace drops, so I have little sympathy.
Any of them who say 'Hey, I needed that!, I could wear it now' or say early in the instance, "I'm looking for sucn-and-such" will get a pass from me on said item(s). Also, if someone wants a cloth green item that my warrior rolled for, and are going to send it to their alt, I won't give, as I have alts, too. Fair is fair. If *the char in the instance with us* is going to wear it, I'll give it to you, no problem.
If it seems like a really nice player, and not a 'gimme itemz', they're more likely to get them, too. I actually give up more than I refuse, but 'gimme itemz' will usually get a 'heck no' or similar from me.
One thing I WILL NOT tolerate in an instance is someone screwing with the loot rules halfway through. Messing with the loot rules w/o consulting with the rest of the group is time for me to leave. I no longer trust the leader, so it's time to go. Thankfully this only happened twice in an instance. The loot rules were changed, I said something about it, and the leader laughed me off and took the next 5 greens in a row, and I calmly stopped, left the group and hearthed out. I'm not greedy, but I do like my share. It's how I keep my gold supply up.
Anyone have any comments? Anyone think I was way off base? Just curious really, since I've only played about 3 weeks.
