On Greed



So, the Battered Hilt. Sure, it's BoE. Sure, it's useful for (just about) every class (hello tanking weapon? Hello?) Sure, it goes on auction for 15,000 gold or so. But ...

I've seen it drop twice. Lost the roll both times. That's fine, that's the RNG. But on the second go, the warlock who won it bragged that it was "his third." As in, he'd rolled and won it twice before.

Now, am I the only one who feels that gracious looting should encourage you to take a pass once you've scored it once, whether you've used it or not? I mean, it leads to a cool quest chain and a great weapon, and the whole point of it being a (fairly predictable) drop is you shouldn't have to pay 15,000 gold to get it. Taking it twice, let alone three times (at least this early in the expansion) seems kind of douchey, to me.

Be polite, be grateful that you've already experienced your good fortune and let other people benefit. We're not helping you through Heroic Halls of Reflection so you can earn another sack of coin.
