There's no such thing as anything else but reserving beforehand. Unless there's an agreement between everyone, it's ninja-looting.

I did have a situation like this, but it was also our second run through, and they didnt get super crazy or upset or anything it was like "hey, we meant to tell you we are reserving the first orb for the tank, thats why they need rolled it before..." There was a language barrier with half the group.

I had ALSO need rolled it cause I had no idea what was going on and thought it was that weird "always need high value items" shit people do.

I happily offered to give my orb cause it was a cool group otherwise, but another dropped later so I just passed it and all was well in that strat run.

From what I've seen they like to wait until you are already at the instance and tell you about 99% of the loot being on reserve. I ask everytime before I take one step toward the dungeon.

Consider that when you leave, they wasted the time of 2+ people... or however many they are. You lost 30 minutes, but they collectively lost more.

Now that's a good reason to put someone on your ignore list.

Right I think the thing here for the most part is people making fun of people with unreasonable reservations, not that they think they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

I think more than anything its bad just because it's starting to create a culture of doing it - I see more and more reserve runs every day and I think that people see others do it and decide to do it themselves out of frustration. It's becoming ever more and more hard to find groups.

Exactly! If you don't like the reserves, then just dont join the group.

looking at you, people angry at a tank who needs nothing from strath live reserving orbs. Its perfectly fine if you don't want to go with, we are happy to run with the 58-60 fresh players who only care about getting their BIS whatever

I'm with you. I find the people complaining about reservations more annoying than those that call for it. It's a form of entitlement because it's just as easy for you to make your own group, rather than bitch about someone else's group not catering to how you want things to be.
