Bloody cry babies. Need on everything that you need. Doesnt matter if you need it for the character you are playing, a companion, another character you have or their companions. If you need it, need it. Let the cry babies throw a tantrum. Maybe they'll smash their pc's in nerd rage and we wont have to hear from them again.
George Lucas: I told you the game was called Star Wars. Bioware: You sure? We thought you said Stun Wars Republic General on Imperial Favouritism: We can't win. If we strike them down Bioware will just make them more powerful than we could possibly imagine.

So in your group of 3 agents and one assassin who probably tanked that boss and item dropped and he won it by roll fair and and square, for his companion who is an important part of the game. Now i see why this makes some people angry, personally i would NEVER do it, i just PASS on an item i don't find interesting, sometimes i greed for a companion, i can always run flashpoints with a friend for companion gear anyway....but that being said i really wouldn't blame that guy to the extent of calling him a ninja. I just have to say i noticed maybe 5% of the players i encountered know how to PASS on an item, everyone just greed's on everything, some even told me things like, o wow, i had no idea that you can PASS on something...erm yeah, ok.

If you're not afraid of this, feel free to post your character names and server so we can see if you're willing to put your money where your mouth is.

I've been doing an experiment on my healer for the past week now. I've rolled need on everything in groups. No one's said anything. I've not gotten a single complaint or tell or anything. I mainly get praise for my healing prowess and people are just generally happy to have me in their group. I've called the experiment The Quon Initiative. It's based on The Quon from Everquest fame. Apparently people are ok with healers healing them and don't really put up a stink about loot rolling. So that Sith Assassin in the orignial post might not have angered as many Agents if they were a Sith Sorceror instead. At least that's what my experiment is telling me. I'm basically putting the social structure to the test and daring people to blacklist my healer (which, if I may toot my own horn, is a pretty darn good healer capable of doing amazing things to get my group through content). So far, no dice. People seem to value group healing more than rolling need for companions.

My experiment seems to indicate that people don't really blacklist you if you're a healer. I feel bad for DPS toons who already have enough problems getting groups since they're so easily interchangable. But that happens to DPS in every MMO.

Ok, why don't you post your character name and server so that we can all see your healer do this without getting blacklisted? You can also take screenshots and post them here so that we have proof that people on your server don't care if you roll Need on every item. Make sure to post screens with different people in each group you run content with.

I'm willing to bet that if you spent an enormous amount of time to farm a "best-in-slot" weapon for your main character, and someone won the role just for their companion, you're not going to be too happy about it.

if you roll need on something for your companion, and someone's character NEEDS that item --you're a selfish jerk. If you can't see that then you're clearly from the 'self-esteem' generation.
