To explain better, I don't practice this when in groups. Gear goes to those who need it and if both don't then you press greed not need.
Now if it's open world and you decide to take on an elite guarding a powerstation that has to be shut down and you're ahead of me in the quest, I am most likely going to ninja you're powerstation while you're fighting. It's ok though, BW has done a great job IMO of the respawn rate for interactable nodes in quests. The wait time is incredibly low and it doesn't bug me if you have to wait 10 seconds for it to respawn. Feel free to do the same thing to me when i'm taking on the next elite.
There's no need to go whining in general chat, namecalling and whatnot, it's the internet, you can't see me in real life, so don't worry about it. All i'm going to do is type in trade chat "MANIACAL LAUGH!!!! MANIACAL LAUUUUGGGHHH!!!"
