Yet i can get to most of the locked chests without a party. The same can be said about mining and herbs. Lockpicking is a class profession not class utility. I get brought to dps not to open chests.
Agreed, the blacksmithing thing is my main argument to atleast get to roll 100-125. if there is another rogue that do it for free or a blacksmith then i wont be difficult. But if not then i can get to roll on all herbs, nodes and disenchants.
And its not about pots and cavemold.
In vanilla i got 2 boe epics from chests and atleast 40+ blue drops.
Ive actually gotten 4 blue boe from chests and noone of the party has complained much about my way of doing things. 
Ok heal yourself then.
Only you and bs can unlock yes but you get that far cuz of your group. Everyone should roll for it thats how its fair.
Iām rogue as well and always tell them to roll.
Iāve personally had no such luck, unless locked chests are more lucrative than the open ones or dungeon chests are far better on average than outdoor ones. Always some food and pots. =p
Itās also a group effort to get to herbs and mining nodes inside instances. Last I checked, those are not rolled for by everyone as standard procedure, after which the appropriate gatherer gathers it and hands it to the winner.
Just saying, as a rogue that did her share of maraudine runs for Ghost 'shrooms.

In instances, raids or pvp paladins, priests, druids or any class who uses reagents (they pay for it). They do NOT charge money from every one or group they buff. I played a mage on Vanilla and I used to open portals at the end of the instances and not even for a one second thought about charging money. I gave food, drink to the group.
Instanced part of the Classic is a team play, you die as a group or survive. Everyone do his/her part. I find so unethical rogues are so entitled to their lock-picking skills. Every class bought this skills and reagents to buff, help the groups. You can simply open the chest and give it to do highest roller.
Ethics are not written, if oneās parent didnāt teach them how to behave in a group in a game no one ever can.
P.S: I put on ignore, the rogues who open and get the loot even they do not need, so I will never ever again match up with them.

Every group Iāve been in have rolled for herbs and mining nodes if thereās more than one who can pick them.

So not everyone rolls on them, but only the ones that have the appropriate skill to gather the nodes?
You know, kinda like generally only rogues have the appropriate skill to open locked chests.

Yeah, and Iām a bs who can open chests but I still roll for them. If a rogue decides to take the chest without saying anything Iāll just replace him in 2 seconds or find a new group.
Which most Mages seem to do already anywayā¦
So, now youāre shifting the discussion into as petulant āif the rogue doesnāt behave like I want, either he goes or I goā. Very mature :-D.
LoL the. Do dmg yourself.
Its not the same at allā¦
Greddy little nelf.
I didnāt make an argument tho, it was a statement.
IMO Itās up to the rogue whether they let others in, blacksmiths have the right of way because of constant material requirement.
I wouldnāt bother, much more profitable to not piss off the remaining players.
It is a game, you choose with whom you want to play. And indeed it is a mature decision, instead getting into some childish argument which will never ends well or solved.
Itās down to groups to agree how to handle locked chests. Our tank is a BS and will mostly let us all roll and heāll unlock a chest and then we can loot it.
With pugs, some rogues run in and claim them without any discussion.
Best to just cover chests before you start with a new group.
You dont get that lockpicking is a profession and not a skill.
Poison cost a aloooot, and your reagent cost and skill comparison makes no sense.
Thatās fair. I always ask if someone is a blacksmith and explain my rules before looting.
EXCEPT, most of the time, that skill is useful only for you! Locked chest in dungeons while in a party, are just a ābonusā. You can also go herbs and mining nodeās as professions.
Anyway, go solo and loot 80% from the in-game dungeon chests then ā¦
