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

That doesn't work in this instance. This is a situation where a person rolled on it because they liked the look of it. And that person could equip it.



There already are class specific orange items. This wasn't one of them.

This thread is about a Marauder rolling on an orange item they could equip and winning that roll over someone who could also equip it. The Marauder just wanted to look pretty. Well the orange items are there for people to look pretty.

This thread isn't as cut and dry as the one you came from Face. This one is murky. Because a strong case can be made that the Marauder just wanted the item because they liked the looks of it. And since that's what Orange items are for ...

Half the flashpoints you can duo with pets anyway you dont need a full group of 4.

...if anyone in that class is with your group.

I can't believe I'm posting about item rolls, or about this issue. People worry too much about loot, and I'm a big believer in just enjoying the game.
But poor claims hurt group dynamics, and there's no need for this kind of thing.

when I pointed out it was made for an Agent, like me, he said he intended to strip out the mods and trade them.

When I noted that the mods are Bound, he insisted that since he could wear it, he could roll. More surprising was that when he brought the issue to /General, a few voices agreed.

Most did not, but the others need to know that sort of claim i's a party-breaker. This is clearly an Agent item - a huge upgrade in my case - and my next group will get a little less healing as a result.

One of the pleasures of running Flashpoints is the chance to get gear suited to you. If it's better suited to someone else, leave it for them.

I get too angry.

You really need to relax and chill out.

How much ninja looting have you experienced in this game?

Like, here we have me. A self confessed ninja looter. And I can tell you other than Aim-Sabers, there's just not enough chances to do the deed. What kind of groups are you getting into? This game is so much fun and I've played with so many cool people. Grouping's been nothing but good times.

I still haven't had this happen, thankfully. I just get angry about the thought of it happening. I realize that I get more worked up about it than a calmer person does. Yet I keep coming back to these threads. Maybe I'm a masochist.

I can also see where there can be some major griefing happening the other way, too. Someone told me yesterday that her 11 year old adopted daughter Needed on something she couldn't use, and was called some very harsh names by people in the group. I think the ultimate issue here is about having respect for your group members in all sorts of different cases, and what kind of actions you may take that can convey disrespect for your group members.
