So i was thinking.. i played rdf (hc) as a dps, yet definitely want to take a tank spec cause retri. right. :d After announcing i roll ms tank, the prot said that he has prio.. and that it has happened to him to have a banned ninja in dungeon.
Ofc, this isn't and shouldn't be true, however.. ain't many get scared and believe him? ninja by proxy, kind of...

If you wanna roll MS tank, make a tank and queue as a tank. Announcing your spec in a group which didn't invite you but rather, got matched up with you by sheer luck shouldn't give you priority or grabbing rights to the gear. If you join a raid group, the other members can leave would your MS announcement not fit their liking. In a RDF HC, the only way they can leave is by getting a 30 minute deserter or kick you, meaning they'll need to wait even further.

What about ToC 5 normal, trinket farm. Joining through specific dungeon and rolling for melee dps trinket after you annouce it at start. How would that be?

The prot was 100% right. If you want to roll for tank items, queue as tank. Or settle for greed rolling.
Way to bypass the rule:
Make a full group with your friends (premade), allow MS changes as party leader. Queue RDF with the said group, enjoy the loots. Having even one random player joining will nullify this rule. Works only on full premade.
No. Make a ToC 5 trinket farm group, and state you're rolling different MS. Joining RDF, or specific dungeon for that matter, does not allow you to change your MS.

about toc, it is already being done, isn't it?.. high gs warrs queueing as tank ie.. and the premade groups decide that by forming
people don't act like its something normal pls x.x in any case, i would like to see an official position, because i doubt i am the only one okay with changing ms!

Well, it's not unusual for a plater to queue as a tank, since they can withstand the hits. As long as they play as such, they are allowed to roll for tank items.

The official position is what you were told. You roll Need for the role you're filling in the group composition (as in queued for), Greed for anything else. 4 out of 5 people agreeing to something else isn't enough, the last person can and likely will report you and it lead to a ban. If you want to roll for "off-specialization" everyone has to be in full agreement, from the start, hence why you were suggested to do it with a premade group that is of the same mind.

eho obnoxious, i cannot know others' opinion if we follow different rules in.. well, voa for example? it is pretty much a random group (though of 25) and we are fine with rolling other specs.. right?
then, it'd be nice to note it in the ninja rules, as i have seen people changing ms besides me which may lead to an unexpected - and quite honestly unfair bans, as you would not do it with intention to screw up the others!

No, VOA has a leader distributing the loot and leader can sometimes say "no MS changes" and then everybody rolls the spec they came as. He can deny someone the change and that person can leave if they don't like it or get over it and stay.
If you're in a raid with a raid leader doing master loot you've agreed to the loot distribution rules and that's it.

That's why all the people who posted, but you still asked for an official position, said you should go with a premade group if you want anything outside of the simple "queued spec = Need, anything else = Greed." If you are going in a random group, go with the expectation that everyone will be there with that rule in mind, because that's what most will do.
I could be mistaken, but as far as I know the only special cases are Guild raids and full premade groups. I don't see why that specific one could be an exception, when, like dolcokidol says, you will have someone managing loot distribution, following rules that should be stated at the beginning, as usual.
I'm not sure if it isn't there or just not clear enough. The thread is maintened by the Head GM (for obvious reasons, being an in-game rule decided by that team). But with the amount of bans for that being on the low side, it might be more of a matter of people not reading in the first place. I mean, for people to be reporting it and all, the ruling is no secret, right?

actually.. for things we have not read as eula, we follow the way we believe is correct :) isn't that a good reason to have a low ban rate for ^?..

If it was simply the case, why would you be mistakenly asking about the possibility of banning people who told you how it's treated, and then asking for further confirmation from Staff after players confirmed it twice? What you think is correct would align with our rules. And if that is the case, then it would say that what you think is correct is in disagreement with what the majority do (since they wouldn't be banned not from knowing the rules, but from doing what they would do anyway). Neither sound like something to write home about...

because if it is the opinion of the vast majority to accept it and of a small group of people to send a ticket for review, the ninja report would be kept low - so long as we don't do it on purpose, like the well hated 60 days
like i stated, i have seen one person to note that rule, and many others to change rdf ms - and ofc, have not reported them!

That doesn't mean anything. Your examples would only ever have any meaning if something really useful and valuable dropped, and was taken by someone who shouldn't have got it used Need. A lot of people don't make reports because they don't care enough, not because they aren't aware. It's like having loud neighbors. It can be against the law, but police isn't going to do anything if you don't bother reporting it. The rule is still there for those who do.

aren't rdf hc and fos/etc items valuable enough?.. :thinking:
also, that still does not account the probability most people are okey with changing a spec roll!
