Please, Don't Roll on Items for Another Class in Your Team

No it's fair because everyone has an equal ability to roll on an item. You don't have to roll on it, but in all fairness you have the ability to do so. If it's restricted it is no longer fair, as it is restricted to only a few people.

It's restricted because you don't want me to roll for it to sell for cash.

Restrictions by the admission of this group are unfair.

Just because you decide to impose different restrictions on it than I do doesn't make you way inherently more fair.

I couldn't care less what you did with it. Win and throw it out of your inventory, sell it, put it on your companion. You won it fair and square. How is that restricting and unfair? Please explain.

So the main problem as I see it is that things get muddled when you add in the concepts like companions and orange gear that you can either need for looks or the mods.

My suggestion is splitting the need button.

If you had a Need for Looks and a Need for Mods button, the people who just want to take the mods of their current armour and put it in the item can roll for the chance to do that, and the people who want the mods as an upgrade can roll to do that as well.

Two seperate rolls would take place, however you can roll on both, if you want.

This solves the problem of people needing for appearance, because the person who still wants the stats has a chance of getting them, and vice versa.

This would even alleviate the problem of people just needing every damn thing they want because they can, because the chances of someone getting something actually useful to them rises.

Then you are the exception and we have no point of contention.

You and I are on the same page (if I were fully on that page in reality).

Four men go into a car showroom to find there's a competion to win a Ferrari. Two of the men already have one, one man has a porsche, the other has a reliant Robin, which is ready for the scrapheap. Clearly one of the four is in more need of the car.
All have an equal chance to win. One of the Ferrari owners wants it for his wife, the other wants to sell it to get some capital. The Porsche owner wants it for his kid. The reliant Robin owner wants it cos he needs a car.
Remember, the rules of the competition are that they all put the same effort in to win, and all have an equal chance.
The Porsche owner wins, fairly. Would you consider it fair or unfair for him to keep the car, or should he give it to the reliant owner?
