The guild promised my rare drop to a newcomer before asking me. Is refusing selfish?
Gaming"Great, we can give that to Lena," our organizer said when the weapon dropped. I was still looking at it. I'd attended six runs hoping for that exact item; Lena had joined us that evening.
Our usual arrangement is that the person who receives an item decides whether to keep or trade it, where the game allows a trade. Lena's current weapon is much weaker than mine, so passing it on would improve the group. The organizer announced it as a welcoming gesture before asking me privately.
I said I wanted to keep it. The voice channel went quiet, and Lena said she didn't want a fight over her. Now I feel as if I refused a gift she'd already been offered, even though I wasn't the person making the offer.
I'm happy to help her get equipped. I don't want "help the team" to mean my upgrades are provisional whenever someone else needs them more. Should I keep the item and address the announcement, or offer it this time and insist we decide a clearer rule before the next run?
