No, You May Not Roll on Items for Another Class and Strip Out the Mods

He can strip the mods out and replace them with mods appropriate for his class. If it is Medium Armor and he is a Marauder he has just as much claim for it, since he 'can' just replace the interior content to make it suit his class.

Apples to Oranges much ?


Besides, in RL there are laws restricting you from shooting people in the head.
In SWTOR there are no rules saying that you cant press need on something.


Dismissed.

Nope, no rules against being a giant douche. Go ahead and be one.


Cake is a lie; there is only pie.

Those that thought this community would be different from other MMOs needs to read this thread. There are just as much children here as other games. It's not too hard to figure out what's right and what isn't but I guess that is lost on some.

This is why when you need gear you run with your guild. When you don't need gear, you run with pugs. Otherwise you are gambling regardless.

Bioware is ignorant of today's gamers.

The last time your reputation mattered, was in Everquest. That's it. Nowadays you can still see all the content, you can still get all the loot you want, and it doesn't matter how you roll in pug groups, because there are so many players you won't ever see that person again or run in the same circles.

This is why I always laugh at the intention to keep out the LFD because of "community".

And considering they keep you alive by keeping the mobs off you is the only reason you get a chance to loot.

Symbiotic relationship, groups are.

The only immaturity you exposed, was your own.

To further expand on the terrible experience that grouping with ME is like ...

1- I am a healer. So when we group I heal you.
2- I do not care about green items that drop. I got enough of that junk while levelling up. My character is geared beyond it. My primary companion is geared beyond it. And my ancillary companions I just goof around with and will gear up beyond green items whenever I bother to get around to it. So if you group with me and a green drops and you need it? You'll never compete with me for it.
3- Blue Items don't really interest me at this point either. There's a 99% chance if you NEED a blue item that drops and we're in a group, we're not in competition.
4- Purple Items ... well there might be competition. But that depends on what the item is, what its mods are, and if I can actually use it. So there's really not many chances I'm even rolling on purples that drop.
5- Orange items drop ... well ... here's the thing, I have a look I like. I have a second suit of armor I like too. So I'm really just looking for mod upgrades. And those are rare too.
6- A lightsaber with AIM drops ... we're competing.

So there you have it people. Group me. A confessed NINJA. And all you have to worry about is the occasional roll on a purple item, maybe a discussion about mods, and LIGHTSABERS WITH AIM ON THEM!

Damn I'm a jerk aren't I?

like I said anyone can roll on anything they want. now obviously if you are just doing it to be spiteful and it's not even for a companion then I would be like hmm ok. weirdness.

It's pretty easy to see this is a battle I will never win lol.

Ya'll play the way you want, I will play the way I want.

Next!

The thing is though, in just about all start ups of these type of game. You get the same sorts of people.

Those that think of the game as a single player environment and even when in a group it is only a slightly better ai than running with companions (Their view) Therefore claiming a roll on items is only a roll against a computer opponent and there is no comeback.

Then those who are in it just to trial the game for a period of time and cause as much trouble as they can, un subscribe and walk away.

Then the idiots who will just get frustrated with the game because no one will play with them because of their previous actions. Mouth off at how bad the game is and how wow is better etc...

Oh and do we think that they really care about this post or that we tell other in the group about how people should behave, do we really think they actually remember what they did the next time they log on? I doubt it, so why should we waste our time?

I have jumped in on only a few groups but had no issue, only roll on what I needed and cancelled in other cases because completing the mission was more important for me. Would change I guess at higher levels?

Give it time and it will settle down

There is an answer for it. Join a guild PUG's are always problematic one way or another.
