Premium loot needs to be saved until the end of the mission, then distributed randomly.

He can take the mods out and put marauder mods in, afaik that's medium armor. If he likes how it looks no reason he shouldn't roll on it.

The reason there no restriction is because everybody practically need everything. This gear has a mod that is better then mine, that blaster is better then my compain blaster. Throw in weird drops (sniping rifle for the Rep, and Aim lightsabers), and you have a situration where there can't be no restriction.

Now what Bioware should have done is have it so;

Primary Need; for items for your character that are better.
Secondary Need; for gear with better mods in them or for your compain
Greed; as is.

This way if a blaster that has a great mod in it or is improvement for my compain, and can still need it and not lose it to a player that have no use for it. But the Smuggler, Bounty Hunter can beat me if they do need it.

No, most of us are fine managing this without BW being involved; many people are happy with just roll/pass.

This is also why /LFG needs to be kept same server. So everyone puts this guy on their iggie list and he eventually never gets groups.
It doesn't work... he'll still find people to group with. You won;t have to deal with him, but that's not a feature that's specific to a single server lfg.

on a related note: I guess that, based on the results he got, Descento really did deserve 10/10 troll stars with that one. Seriously, just look at all the vitriol he's been able to evoke with just those 2 simple lines.

I do the same thing except before I roll need I do a quick ask. "Can I need for my companion?" Generally no one says anything and I roll need.
No one questions me because I asked. Once a guy was like damn I wish I had known I'd of rolled with you but then he knows next time find out if the person who uses that armor class & main stat doesn't need then he can roll.

My opinion is this. If the Player Character can use they get first dibs. If that person doesn't need ANYONE can roll for their companion.

In regards to lessening F2P and Preferred restrictions
In GAMING, as in LIFE,
You get what you pay for
No game restriction is so dire that $15.00/month will not eliminate it

An orange piece of gear that you like the looks of, you'll wear until you're at 50 (or even after, once they fix the armoring like they said they would)

armoring/mod/enhancement... you'll replace those in a couple of levels.


Really, it's absurd to cry about someone getting an orange piece over you, regardless of what they're going to do with it.

Of course, I bet they have a pretty hard time finding groups that would allow them to need on all, but its the honorable thing to do. Then again, their action lacks honor so ................
Be realistic yourself ...
1) Not everyone playing this game is a MMO vet
2) Not everyone playing this game reads these, or any other forums about this game
3) Even if they are a MMO AND read these forums, you can check virtually every other thread about this topic and see where there are differing views on what should be acceptable

Just because you believe it should be that way does not make it so.

And to be honest, it's the type of attitude you exhibit ... the "Oh c'mon, everybody knows the rolling greed for companions is considered <insert adjective here>" IS THE EXACT reason why there are so many posts about it. You cannot conceive that someone would have a differing view than yours and hence assume everyone thinks what's fair is exactly what you think is fair.

Differing opinions are what make this world go round. Your views are no more special about it than anyone elses. You want to avoid the drama? Discuss it before the drama has a chance to happen.

Its not because I think it should be a certain way. Its that the majority of players think it should be a certain way. I understand the norm and think that anyone who has grouped more than once in a FP knows it too.

My point is simple. Anyone that PUGs (unless its their first time) knows that the general accepted norm is to only need for your character. That does not include needing on items to pull out mods or needing for your companions.

If you are not a noob and you have different ideas about needing than what is generally accepted as proper etiquette, then you should discuss it with the group ahead of time. Its common sense that nothing said = standard etiquette loot rules apply.

Form your own groups with your own rules.
