On this subject, I pugged again yesterday.
Last boss dropped a polearm, and this time I kindly asked everyone if it
was ok for me to need on that. I hadn't finished typing the questions
that the three DK on the party had already needed on the polearm.
Oh, and the first boss dropped a mace. Dwarf need roll it, wins and
leaves the group a second after. ("I am the macemaster!", lol)

As I wrote before, never seen much discussion over loot in dungeons on
my server.
I guess instance levelling is a bit different than lv80 raiding...

You'll find level 80 groups are rather better mannered, lowbies do
tend to just roll on things they need without considering anybody
else. Best way to figure out what you need is: is it your main armor
type (mail in your case)? If so, and the stats are right, go ahead and
roll. If it isn't, then check nobody who can *only* use leather wants
it before taking it.

In the case of a weapon, as a hunter you can need any *ranged* weapon
that's an upgrade (uh, not thrown btw - you can use throwing weapons I
believe, but most your abilities don't work with them last I checked
;-)), but if you want a melee weapon, make sure its stats are good for
you (agility, attack power, NOT strength - no warrior/DK will
appreciate losing their uber +strength weapon to a hunter) - melee
weapons are about stats for ranged classes, so just ignore the dps
listed on it, since you shouldn't be meleeing that much.

Btw if a melee class rolls on your ranged weapon they're being rude -
I've always played my rogue with the idea that a ranged weapon is a
stat stick, not a major weapon, so should a hunter need it, it's only
polite to let them take it - if they don't it's fair game but I'd
never roll against a hunter for it. Likewise on my hunter, with melee
weapons I'd only roll against a melee class if it was a massive
upgrade to me, and preferably using stats that benefit me more than
them; if it's marginal then it's more polite to let the class who'll
benefit most from it take it.

Probably others see it differently to me but those are the rules I use
for myself anyway.
