Frozen Orbs: Need or Greed?
Ever since random dungeons were first implemented, there was a confusion whether or not to need or greed on frozen orbs. Every server has its own culture whether or not to need or greed, and my server needs all the time. By the time my server was playing with other servers in random dungeons, we were all called orb ninjas. Eventually, the price of frozen orb dropped so much it almost matched its vendor price. Need or greed no longer mattered as frozen orbs were almost considered trash loot. Some even just passed.
Now, with the upcoming patch 3.3.3, frozen orbs will become a currency. Even servers who usually just go “greed” on orbs suddenly presses “need”. Some people wait until someone selects “need” before they “need” as well to avoid ninjas. There are some sneaky people who will go /afk just when the orb drops so the players will become impatient and just leave the instance, and then when the player is the only one left, he’ll “need” on it. Everyone wants the orbs now!
Just to avoid ninjas and QQ on orbs, tell the group as soon as the dungeon starts to roll “need” on orb.Using a macro helps.
/party Just roll need on frozen orbs to avoid ninjas
Frozen orbs has gone up to 20g+ each and people have been stocking up on it, thinking the price will go much higher when patch 3.3.3 hits. A chance to get an extra 20+ gold worth in a run is something you could no longer pass on, nor could you lose it because of a ninja. Just roll “need!”
