And people wonder why I despise grouping with strangers.

Selfish idiots are plentiful in mmo's. Same as in RL. Until some sort of restriction is implemented - which I doubt very much will happen - there will always be arse-hats who will ninjaroll stuff they can't use. Just like having a sign that says 'no parking' won't prevent idiots from parking there anyway.

Frankly I'm amazed that Bioware didn't think this through when they made the game. In the mean time, all you can do is /ignore these supreme examples of humanity so you won't group with them again

I loathe this behavior, and generally will drop a group as soon as it happens.

I have grouped with people that genuinely did not understand the need/greed concept and simply needed it explained to them. That is a different story altogether. I will give someone the benefit of the doubt the first time it happens and assume they don't know.

"Well I can equip it, so I need." "It looks cool even though it's for a different class, so I need."

Those attitudes will leave you in a flashpoint short a tank or healer (i.e. me).

It's not line you're going to keep those mods for very long anyway... If he's going to wear the item and replace all the mods that's fine by me.

While I don't like that behavior either..


You do realize.. They can sell said item on the AH for some serious coin?


So just because you can wear it.. doesn't mean you should automatically get it.

Maybe the other guy, needs it for cash? Ever though t of that?

Ask, to buy it off of him perhaps?

Yes, it's called "greed".

If you don't need cash (who doesn't?) it's called "pass".

"Need" has been well accepted in the MMO community for years to mean you will equip it for a stat increase.

Sure they are... but it's silly to pretend that the OP is any less of one than the person he's ranting about.

Symbiotic relationship, groups are.

The only immaturity you exposed, was your own.
Actually, he exposed that he is a raging narcissist. His entire argument was predicated on his role in the group - not the symbiotic relationship of the entire group. The basic tenents of MMO gameplay are beyond his ken.

meh, "I need it to wear is" is no less greedy.

It's accepted in some places and not in others.

personally, I think that anyone kicking up a fuss about not getting what they think that they personally need is clearly being more selfish than any of the people they're ranting about.
