Gaah. Another one of these threads.

Ninjaing for companions is still ninjaing.

Need > Need for companion > Greed.

Simple and clean. Abide by this or be kicked from any group I'm in at least (well.... any where I have that power at least).

The best thing is always to talk before the run. I will not suffer ninjas, so if the loot rules are clear before the run, no one needs to throw a fit. I'm sure those of you who think that this type of behavior is acceptable don't want me in your group any more than I want to be there anyway .

I try to be a nice guy. But ninja looting is ninja looting.

3 agents in group. A nice purple protype drops clearly meant for agents. All roll need.

A sith assasin also rolls need and wins, saying he needed it for his companion.

So you're unhappy that the random roll didn't go your way, I see....

No, he's angry because someone ninjas his loot, which is perfectly fine.

People who roll need for their Mains, and their Main Specs are not selfish. This is because even knowing that they COULD roll on an item for an Alt, or for their Off Spec, they DON'T because they feel they should only gear the Mains (for everyone) first, in order to benefit them through more difficult content.

Those who don't care, or are selfish, only care about themselves. Therefore, regardless of consideration for others and disregard for team effort to progress, they will roll need on something that won't even benefit the content/encounter, at the same time, taking away from someone that could benefit the content/encounter.

Since Companions are not used in Raids, they offer no benefit to the content/encounter. Therefore, giving it to your companion over a main does not benefit the group. When your interest is to only benefit yourself and not the group, that is being SELFISH.

Ninja while you can, because when you get to the endgame and pull that in an Op, you'll be blacklisted. I hope BW implements server transfers soon. You're going to need them.

Stopped at Pro Tip. makes you look like a lamer.
But as you know, rituals don't always go as planned.

Then with your belief, I should PuG my way through dungeons and need everything, because, you know, my companions need it more than a player.

The number of people actualy defending this is amazing, makes me hate the avrg pugger a lot more and shows I can't trust the general community.


Needing for your companion when there is somone in the group who can use it on their charicter is ninja'ing. I don't care what crap deffinition you come up with for ninja'ing. Following some of the deffinitions given if somone rolls need on some loot that somone else could use and then vendors it he really didnt ninja it because hes using the money he got from it.


Needing for your companion when other players can use it for their PC is ninja'ing. Period.
