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

...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 whole heartily agree.

The mods become bound as soon as you remove them. and cannot be traded even to alts. lastly if you would need it (agent / operative) surely does he should roll greed.

period

Need ONLY if it is of immediate benefit to your class NOW.

he is an idiot. no amount of excuses or justifying his greed changes it. it should have gone to you or another agent if there were any in the group. end of discussion

If you loot against the norm in a group without discussing, you run the risk of angering people. Simply, discuss it before you group. Nothing said = standard loot rules.

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.

A roll/pass option is a horrible idea. I'm tanking your instance, I sure as hell deserve that tank piece more then Khem ok?

If people roll on companion gear over people who need it for their PC then they might as well take away everything but the need button because every class in the game will end up needing every piece of armor that drops. We get 6 companions.. everything that drops will work for at least one of them. So, good luck ever winning anything with that mind set.

no, I think roll pass is a fine option. I'm tanking your instance, and I don't deserve any particular piece of loot any more than anyone else in the group does.
