I'll just quote myself:

"Answer is "to maximize the group efficiency". Since in the flashpoints only the players are present it's better to socially allow need for those who would make direct use of it to help the group now and in the future and maximize the chance that each class/character will be able to roll for "his" gear. If there are more than one character who can make use of the loot it's acceptable to allow them all need for it.

If there is no need for character then many people take greed as default. To sell it, to give it to a companion and so on. Some ask if they can take need for a companion and I saw no one who had a problem with it.

There are people who will take need for a companion over the player on any loot. While they are allowed - by the game mechanic - it can be viewed as socially unacceptable. Why? Because he can take need for anyone's gear as (s)he see fit. Social contract which allowed you to take need for "your" type of gear case to exist. It's obvious that this person is a danger to all people in the group and will be alienated.

That's why people taking need for a companion before asking first (or discussing the loot rules) are not welcome by many people

Assumtion or do you have some facts to back this claim up?



So you know everyone personally, their living arrangements and what time they walk their dog I guess. Must be a heavy load having so much knowledge of everyone else. Me, I think you pulled that statistic out of somewhere smelly.




I knew I should have stopped reading when you mentioned WoW, that told me all I needed to know.
Fine by your logic, news flash this is swtor and players will roll against you main spec for the companion, you just got served-1ouch!!!

What the #$#@ are you talking about, seriously? It's really simple: if it's an upgrade for you, roll Need on it. If it's an upgrade for someone else, roll Greed or pass. True greed is rolling on everything and anything regardless of whether you can use it or not.

If someone rolls and wins, I'm delighted for them. If I roll and win, I'm delighted for me. it's just a shame others can't share that view and instead want to be selfish little brats.

Because if you want it for your companion their their need is more paramount. Think about it, we look to gearing our own characters before gearing our companions, so obviously the player character is more important in the long run. If you both can use the item being rolled for, and I mean YOU, your character, not your companion, and I mean USE, as in actual, measurable value, then you should both need it.

You're proving my point for me, even if it lacks eloquence. If it's an upgrade for me, I will roll Need on it.

"Me" is defined as "My character, or one of my companions", and items to be rolled on include "Items that I meet class restrictions for, items that have even one mod in them which would upgrade a version I currently have, or items that will upgrade a companion of mine."
