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

I think that's a major part of it: we aren't failing, not that I can see on my server at least. People are grouping, people are finishing content, and I've yet to hear a single person in any zone, including Fleet or Kaas City, calling out loot ninjas as a warning to the server community. Given that I'm on an RP realm, community tends to tighten up quite a bit so people can tell cohesive stories, so things like this would become fairly obvious in a rapid fashion.

But all that does is provide anecdotal evidence that the dire predictions of ostracization for purported ninjas isn't (yet) occurring.

You need to accept, that there is no 'excuse' at all. People roll how they want because it is their entitlement to do so.

Rolling for companions is a big part of this discussion. It comes down to trying to settle on the definition of need, which we all pretty much differ.

Smugglers' first tank is +AIM (Corso), but they also get a Wookie tank (+STR), Risha DPS (+Cunning), Akaavi tank-dps (+AIM) and Guss (who I just got).

I use Akaavi Spar, who likes +AIM.

Your "not bothering to waste time" looks an awful lot like its opposite, T-rollin. If you weren't wasting time (which I honestly think is a phrase you're using to disguise the fact that you can't refute anything I've said), you wouldn't continue posting, particularly in response to something I've personally said.

My position on the looting issue remains both clear and unassailable, and easily-searchable even within the last few pages of this thread. You? At this point you're switching to personal attacks because it would seem you can't actually do anything more to contribute, for or against, to this particular issue. Just a supposition on my part, but it's so far born out by the reality of your posts.

Most of the difficult game content requires the use of a full party or an ops group, in which companions do not factor into the effectiveness of these groups. Thus the gearing of actual, player characters should take precendence over the gearing of companions, as it easier allows players to, you know, play the game.

Yes, gearing your companions will make questing solo easier, but the leveling experience is only one part of the game, and this is a massively multiplayer game. You play with other people, who need better gear to progress through the game, same as you. Taking gear intended for their chosen class in order to equip your companion hurts the party. For instance what if you needed healer gear for your companion and the healer in your party heals for a tiny bit less that what is needed to keep you alive? Yes, you may say that a small stat increase like that won't affect anything significant, but it won't effect your companion that much either, or be even less effective, because your companion will never be used as effectively as a decent human player can accomplish.

If Bioware intended everyone to need on something that they have use for, they'd never create class specific items, because the point will be moot, the chances of that class actually receiving that item will be astronomical. If you need something for purely monetary reasons, or to make your character look cooler, that is greed, and if you don't need or want it, you pass on it. It's not an upgrade, you NEED upgrades or you'll keep dying and not be able to progress through the game. The choice between wearing an ugly piece of armour or a weapon because it's better than what you have on versus wearing something that looks cool but is terrble for your character proves that.

Um, No, it's fact. You want it to be an opinion, but, sad for you, it is actually fact.


No-one 'allows' you to have it. If you win, you get it, if don't win, you lose.

I'm playing the way I like, contrary to what you claim is right and I have no problems with grouping or what not. Maybe if my server was tiny and people like you the majority, but guess what, I am not playing right and having a great time. No consequences, so do what you like, I say more power to you. Because I know I am and nothing you say or your empty threats matters.

First, I myself never roll need for my companion, second I have no problem rolling against ppl a roll is a roll. Now, in wow I will Tull off spec, if 1 no one is rolling off spec, or 2 it's a 5-man that's been out for a while, in playing as a tank/heals and loot rules have been established.

Only ppl that care about rolling against others are self entitled children living with momy- others will treat ppl how they want be treated and don't qq if someone plays differently or set ground rules. Do quit you qqing

This is the Evel Knievel of logical leaps.
