If teebbu drops as a hunter im needing it to sell it, id expect the same if anything i want drops. It's only fair that everyone has the same chance to make money/benefit from the item drop. Teebu may not give me any benefits, but that 1k gold will give a big boost to spend on getting better items/gears.
This post right here is the absolute embodiment of the self-centered borderline-sociopathic mentality that deteriorates the drive for collaboration among strangers in online games. This behavior is the very reason why retail has been over-regulated to the point where everyone is babysat on a regular basis when in the company of others.
Despite the fact that you are probably too obtuse to comprehend your wrongdoing in this situation, I'll lay it on you anyway. The reason why your actions are selfish and not those of the person in your group (masterful projection of your own inadequacies btw) who can actually use the item is this: you are robbing a fellow party member of the opportunity to equip and use an upgrade, which is the reason why they--and anyone for that matter--engages in ANY content in an MMO whatsoever. They ran that specific content to use the items for their class/spec that drop from it. They don't play MMOs to farm endlessly for 12 hours a day to make gold to buy all their gear off the AH like a bunch of bots or soon-to-be college dropouts with horrible time management. Needing to sell it on the justification that you need the gold is no different than justifying stealing from someone IRL because you needed it more. Your poor utilization of time and resources should not be impacting others. They can't run any random content and get that item.
If you are running content with the sole purpose of robbing everyone else of legitimate upgrades to pad your pockets, be a man about it and post your in-game name here so everyone, and I mean everyone, will avoid you like the plague. The fact that you refuse to do so means you are actively acknowledging that you are a lowlife. Your actions clearly indicate that you are in favor of the pay-to-win concept, which by the way is a proven economy and game killer, so you are basically pond scum at this point. If everyone needed on everything and just listed it on the AH, do you have any idea what a horrible server economy this would become?
If Nost ever buckled to an implementation that was not-so-Blizzlike (for 1.12) let it be making need rolls BoP.
