I've been wondering a while if I was out of the loop, a "greedy prick" or normal but this thread got me to ask it.
I'm a 440 Chanter and I run Heroics every chance I get. Then out of nowhere, someone tells me I have to pass every blue for their chanter to DE, then roll for at end.
Now every time since then, I get people telling me I have to roll, DE, and pass out shards at end.
I understand it's basically "roll now vs roll later" and the chances are the same, but for my first 30 or so Heroics I told people I was DE'er so I'd -appreciate- if they passed, but was 100% okay if they rolled, so I could use Shards for recipes I didn't have yet. Basically I was hoping they'd willingly pass to help me out since the gold from vendoring most items is trash. 99.9% Of the time, people passed, I got shards, we moved on. At end, we all greeded Epic(some people passed, some people Needed if needed) and I ended up with 17 Abyss Crystals.
But now people expect me to DE everything and hand out shards for free. I don't recall any of these people giving me gold, dust, essences to level my Enchanting up to 440. I did that 100% on my own.
And I understand, they could just greed against me and it be a wash. However, why is it no one ever expects a Skinner to divvy up all the leather in a run? Or a Miner to pass out all the ore he comes across? Or Herbalists? All of these items sell as well, if not better, than Shards and are 1000% free to level aside Trainer costs.
Just been bugging me lately. I don't expect people to pass(though if it vendors for <5g it is common courtesy (same way we don't ask for their Ore/Leather/Herbs). But to expect a service for free? Chanters on my server generally charge 2-5g/disenchant as it stands. Just curious if this is a weird phenomenon on Alleria or if it became the norm everywhere.
