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

I get that. But this general topic has come up in the past. And in those discussions, I've tried to make the point that there will be situations where one class is rolling need for an item and another class is rolling need for a mod. And the example I tend to use is +Crit. Because there are benefits to +Crit for both healers and DPS.

And so there will be a situation where two classes NEED the item for an upgrade. One might wear the item. One might mod strip it. But the need is genuine.

And people still flip out and get huffy about it.

Which means, to me, this type of discussion isn't about being fair. It's about loot drama. You typical loot drama that crops in these games alllllllllllll the time.

You are going to meet a healer one day who finally realizes that an upgrade to crit is going to help them heal better. And that might be the day that some DPS class totally wigs out on the healer because ... duh ... they're DPS and crit is their big thing.

And now you're stuck in a loot drama situation where a healer has to try to explain why they want to need on an item?

It's just silly.

These items are all rolled on. There's equal chance to win. But it's always going to be a situation where someone lost and is upset about losing.

/sigh

Entitlement is thinking everything that drops is some how yours regardless of your team mates needs.

Huge plot hole there:

What if you go for pass because it is a class item that will work on a party member, but this person actually do not really need it, because he is already wearing something better?

Why is he entitled to sponge on top of an item he is going to sell and I have to pass on it? We should both have the same chances at getting it, after all we share loot money equally, and an item that is going to be sold is only loot money.

I find it funny the people who are telling people how they can roll don't see themselves as entitled.

**totally greedy people will roll on everything; they expect everyone to be like themselves and expect everyone to to do the same.**

They're not greedy.

They are just as entitled to that loot as anyone else.

Maybe they needed something that they couldn't afford on the GTN and all for those pieces they needed on will give them the credits to do so?

If it's an item that's intended for his class and it's an upgrade, I be considerate in pass. If they're already wearing that item or better, I normally ask if it's ok if I need for me companion if I need it. Otherwise, I just greed and forget about it. If I win it, great, I'll vendor it for credits. If not, no big deal. I, personally, greed on anything I don't need. I'll even try to tell people to need for their companions if it's an item that I don't need, but is intended for my class. I try my best to be considerate of others, because I like running in groups and I like being social. I appreciate when they lend their time to me so I can accomplish a task and if they are rewarded with an upgrade because of it, I congratulate them and move on.

I personally think needing for companions or looks blindly is a poor move. I'll ask every time.

No, entitlement is thinking anything that drops is some how yours before the roll happens. Period.

It's entitlement even if the stats are numerically more favorable than the piece of gear you are currently wearing.


And didn't I just respond to the rest of this?

The people arguing this are masking their own sense of entitlement by calling it common courtesy/decency and demonizing the people who don't think that you're some how special and entitled to gear...

Either way, lets just agree to disagree what our definition of entitlement is.

I think it's an entitled person that needs on everything regardless of who the item would benefit most and you think it's entitled to think you should win the loot that does benefit you most.
