HIS MAIN CHARACTER takes priority over your companion. After all we all have companions. If we don't establish this etiquette, then screw it. Everyone roll need whether you need it or not. See how that plays out in PUG. Or we can establish the most logical hierachy given the current loot system: 1) If loot is specific to fighting MAIN, only he NEEDS it. 2) If loot is below spec of the fighting MAIN's current equipment, he should roll GREED along with all the rest, including companions. We all have companions. To say your companion is just as important as the Main blatently disregards his contribution to the group and his sole reason for being there in the first place. We shouldn't have to lay down these ground rules each and every group that is formed. If you don't follow this unspoken etiquette, you will be considered rude and don't expect to come back after being kicked. Well said.

Again, thinking you should get to roll on something for a companion when yo can't actually use the companion is just garbage. It's unfortunate, yet a big part of playing MMOs is having to deal with certain socially inept types that have traditionally holed themselves up playing single player games and have no idea how to interact with other human beings. Ah well, all good comes with some bad!

Again, thinking you should get to roll on something for a companion when yo can't actually use the companion is just garbage. People who have the view that since a companion is required to play a part of the game, that it is basicly an extension of their character and their own ability to kill things. Try not using a companion while you play, it's tough (I dont bother trying so im not exactly sure). All your reasoning and views go out the window. My healing operative needs to keep her tank companion's gear current 24/7. If it's not we suffer or die. I do FPs to gear her out. See where this is going?

Regardless of your opinion, you can avoid a lot of problems by simply communicating with your group that you intend to roll Need for items for your companions before starting the run. It may get you dropped from a lot of groups unless you agree to not do that, but people will respect that you talked to them about it first.

The point of running instances is to get gear to improve your overall character, which in this game involves companions. The fact that your companion does not participate in those group encounters does nothing to negate the fact that they are a part of your overall character.

Yes, I get where you are going, you think it's ok to screw over grouping players to get gear that helps you solo.

"Enjoy it while it lasts", is the remainder of what I have to say about this topic. This is one oversight that BW is bound to fix, and you will only have yourselves to blame for it, because you put AIs above the MAINS of other players who are in the FP with you. It's that simple. If you claim that you don't care, that's fine, but don't claim that it's some sort of accepted societal norm, or you will be laughed at.
