If you do this, that's fine. Personally, keeping my tank companion's armor upgraded is far more important than keeping my own upgraded. If you're always doing you first and your companions second, it's no wonder you think your companions are useless.

I play a Sage too, and I agree that gearing your tank is very important, but you still need to heal him, and to do that well you need gear, it's not like he's doing all the work.

And besides, in a flashpoint your companion isn't a factor. What good is a piece of gear on your companions going to do for your group going through game content?

That answer should settle this rolling nonsense. If it's for all classes, then BW wants you to roll for your companions in FP's, thus /thread. If it's for your class only, then BW wants you to roll only for yourself in FP's, thus /thread.
Then roll greed ...chances are others will have companions that could also use it.

See I'm in a guild, in the guild I care what other people get, in a PUG I don't give a rat's **** about you and you should feel the same.

They should make it impossible to hide your legacy name.

That way, once you've totally smeared your Legacy by following the "everything that drops is mine" approach to Flashpoints, you'll be completely screwed until you reroll on a new server.

You have no idea how this game works, do you?

Right, and that is wrong. So now you know. You're welcome.

I am sorry but I don't see how you are delighted if someone rolls against you and wins, you end the thread wit brats that doesn't sound like delighted to me.

SIDE note these threads are not iPhone friendly
Ok, the selfish brats are the ones trying to force me to forgo my roll because it will favor their chances at getting the loot.

My rules are simple. If you need something roll need. If you win you win, if you lose you lose. I will never, ever ask or imply, that someone should not roll how they wish.

My known *fact* when entering a group is that we are all going to get roll on the loot if we win. Another *fact* is, I may win nothing.

It's also something that none of the other people who share your views (all 4 of them or so) will ever do.

I don't even know why you bother posting in these threads. Do you honestly think that you're going to convert everyone to your way of thinking?
Awww, are you getting upset? You seem to be. I'm amused at your cute (if wholly impotent) rage.

So you say the "vast majority of players do not share" my perspective? Then please point me to your statistics, where you can defensibly say "vast majority". Unless you work for BioWare and are authorized to share those statistics (since they're the only ones who have them), you can't, which invalidates everything that comes after your point.

As far as sharing my name and server, you see my name every time I post, and if you pay attention to my existing posts, you'll have very little difficulty finding what server I'm on. I suppose it's up to you to put in the legwork to see if you can acquire the information so you can put your nefarious plan of ostracization into play.
