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

Put simply anyone who needs on loot for there fake pixel buddy companion, over the needs of a real person who actually needs that loot is simply selfish and you should waste no time on pond life such as them.

If you cant see the difference between the pixels played by people and the ones played by...no one, i suggest schooling.

Cut the companion needers some slack. If they "need" to gear their companion with anything other than kind of near to level greens to get through the non-heroics, they suck really, really bad. Just be glad they didn't cause you to wipe on the fight.

Seriously though, in all the discussions I've seen about this, I haven't seen anyone point out how unimportant blue, and especially purple, companion gear is. If you really do "need" it, you are all kinds of suck.

Maybe someone has said it, but I haven't seen it (admittedly I haven't read any where near all of the posts on this, but who has the time?).

I'm afraid this just doesn't hold up, and approaches dangerously close to attacking the person instead of the idea. It seems like you're unable to actually refute someone's legitimate claim to an item they helped cause drop, so you instead cast aspersions on the person holding a view contrary to yours. Very bad form, and it only makes you look worse, not them.

As has been asked already, if someone wants an item that you want, what makes your wants a higher priority than theirs? At the end of it all, you were in a group who all worked to defeat a boss who dropped some loot, loot that different players all have equal rights to, even if it's for radically different reasons. The best you can do is roll on a priority that matches your personal desire for the item, and let the dice fall where they may.

No one owns it til it's been put in someone's inventory, so no one can "steal" it from someone else. After an item goes in someone's inventory, it's theirs, and you have no right (and thankfully no ability) to determine what someone else does with their property. All the bully-tactic threats of guild or server blacklisting, dire predictions of that player's inability to get groups in the future, won't change that fundamental fact: it's theirs, to do with as they want, and they don't require your permission to roll Need on it in the first place.

So why act as though they should?

I look at it this way, if you want to need on a non-class item, that's fine. If I want to kick you out of my group for doing so, that's also fine.
