Flashpoint Loot Priorities.

Again, define what "NEED" means to you, then define what "NEED" means to another player?
- I NEED Credits (Valid)
- I NEED gear for my Companion (Valid)
- I NEED the gears mods (Valid)
- I NEED it for <insert reason here>

Who are you to ASSUME what "NEED" means to another player?

See what Im getting at? I feel your pain, you lost a roll, so do what the rest of us do, RUN IT AGAIN. Its really that simple.

And please, enough with the whole "LAZY" argument, its not a valid response to your issue at hand.

I had a rather negative experience last night in a random LFG party.
My friend and I queued together, she was on her Jedi Sage and I was on my Jedi Sentinel, the run itself went very smoothly, right up until the final boss.

When it was downed, it dropped the Token piece for a set of the JEDI KNIGHT/SITH WARRIOR specific Tier gear. Naturally, as this was an upgrade for my character, I needed it... as did the tank, who was a Jedi SHADOW, a class which cannot even use/trade, or in any other way benefit from said token piece... and, of course, he won the roll.

When my healer friend questioned him, asking why he would need on a piece of gear he cannot use when it was clearly an upgrade for someone else in the party, HIS friend and guildmate replied that, "The tank was upset because no gear had dropped for him during the run, so he needed that in order to get SOMETHING."

First and foremost, I think we can all agree that this was beyond words in terms of rudeness and just flat out unnecessary behaviour.

Secondly, I GENUINELY hope that in the future, Bioware adds a system that makes such pieces that are CLASS specific able to ONLY be needed upon by members OF said CLASS. Granted, this won't solve completely the issue of 'ninja looting', but at least such a system would aid in cutting down on said behaviour.

That being said, I certainly hope this person develops a better attitude toward group looting in the future. I've gone many times where I've run multiple, (four to nine), random Flashpoints without even once seeing a piece of gear that might benefit my character. It. Happens. Sometimes your luck just isn't there. When that happens, deal with it, but don't jack other people out of gear because you're mad at the random loot generator.

man just dont be a jack-***

Words to live by

who's the J.A? THe player that rolled need on an item because he CAN IN FACT actually use various parts of it or the player who decided it would be a great idea to make a post about it and complain while being ignorantly and FACTUALLY WRONG about his argument.

If a knight token drops then the knight has first say if he/she needs it or not, same with any other class token drop that class gets first say if they need it or not....Its a dircet upgrade for him/her and your just ******* bout with it..

But op get yourself a guild...dont pug anything in mmos if you can help it...

Knight Token or not the gear is in fact BENEFICAL to the player that is not Knight specific. The arguement is ridiculous. The player who is upset is simply upset because he did not win the item that is directly related to his class IN SPITE of the fact there are benefits for the Shadow who did win it.

Benefical to whom more...the knight or the shadow
