it belongs to whoever picks it up at well too, whats the difference exactly?

precisely why there needs to be a well in town. If I spend the time to gather up whites and then am forced to well in a group and someone else gets the drops...what was the point of me wasting time and fg to gather and store them? The rest of LS guilds(apparently not in d2 guild) have an honor system. Whoever's white it is gets the drop and side drops are usually ffa. Of course if you aren't capable of trusting them enough to send them 50kfg, you shouldn't trust them not to try to grab a good drop(primary) if you are welling with them. Well with others at your own risk.

hor_rahl is right there. why would u even bother picking up any items if you know you can let other people do it for you and just w8 until they well and snipe all of them?
There is two rewards for people welling with you.
First one ist that they can get the side drops
Second one is that you are going to well with them and let them have their items they dropped in the well.
I usually trust most people i well with or i just don´t do it. If ur a little chicken you should do guild wells or try to find a solo well
nothing wrong with that either

somebody snipes the white items first, why can't the others snipe the item after it is well'd?
when you kill a normal mob and he drops a good item, who should take it? why is it ffa?
i dont even play LS for 2 years or so, im just saying that if someone pick'd a white item, it was because none of the others were fast enough to get it, and same should happen when you well it with the same team you've found the item

The moral of today's story is don't well if you don't trust your group. I have not had any items "sniped" yet because I don't normally well with anyone who I question as trustworthy.

This game like many others relies a lot on trusting your fellow man/woman, and also building trustworthy relationships. I was lucky enough to land a few, and have not had the issues most of you seem to be having.

Even though I am not a fan of the well in cata's, I have no problem helping anyone with their items.
Keep them all as far as I am concerned, because since the initial find was not mine, therefore none of the drops from the well should be mine either.
I will also hand over a lvl71 well to anyone who needs it, and it's their option to keep me in game or not

this isnt strictly true because items are on a dice roll right iirc? its not first click first gets, so imo you had the luck getting the item in the first place why should you have to re-roll the item you already picked once its been welled?

but yea jesse hit the nail on the head. just stick to guild only or with mates and your fine.

heres a question. do guild only games produce better wells?

Not at all. It just eliminates a lot of bitching and crai topics

of course of course.

i just remember that used to guild only games gave a increased yield in exp and drops. wasnt sure if it was the same anymore.
