Were you using the random LFD? If you're pugging without using the random LFD then loot rules are whatever you make them.

I think you miss understood him. What he meant was did you get a pug from your own server rather than the cross realm. If the group is made up with people from a diff server even just 1, you get the automatic need before greed. Which will not allow you to role on those items. Were as grouping with a full group from your server then the leader is allowed to set the loot rules.

I am actually a bit confused as well... on my Druid (Balance) there was a deffinate upgrade on a leg item for me, but it was cloth (Spirit/Stam/Int/+sp/+crit) which would work perfect for him, but intstead it would not let me NEED the item, even though everyone else selected either greed or disenchant. I had to greed it and it ended up going to a rogue who greed'd... the disenchanter lost out, and I lost out as well... I asked the rogue if I could have/buy it, and he ignored my request the entire instance (asked once after roll, once at end) Ah well, I can get others, right?
Still confused, as there were NO cloth wearers in my group.

When using the new random dungeon system Blizzard decided that your class can only need on the best armor type that your class can wear. It's a dumb rule but druids cannot need on cloth items no matter how much of an upgrade it is.

Monday I ran a bunch of dungeons using the LFD tool (random dungeon), and on an RFD run, a ret paladin (what a shock) needed on a bunch of cloth and leather items. It wasn't a big deal as the rest of us were greeding and DEing, but I thought it was odd.
Maybe the rule where you can't need on lesser armor types only works at 80?

I've been leveling a Resto shaman, and I can say with certainty that I've been unable to Need on Cloth or Leather items that were a clear upgrade for me. Luckily you can trade the items so I've been able to buy them off people, but if the guy who wins the Greed roll rolled DE you're SOL.
I don't know how the rules are if all of the people in your group are from the same server.
That's really strange. I used the LFD tool for a random dungeon so everyone was from different servers, and I know for certain that a pally needed on a cloth belt and won it.
Is the Need button grayed out so you can't click it? I haven't noticed it but later today when I run another random dungeon I'll have to see what happens with the need/greed rules.
