Orange Modable items and Loot Rolls

You guys are fanatics. WoW didnt have a Orange Mod system afaik, its is a new system for a new game. Stop trying to force your old rules into a new game. Open your minds and try to think about this NEW SYSTEM in a new way.

Still not cool.

Also not cool to roll need for your companion if someone elses actual character needs it.

No, I'm pretty sure I won't want to group with people that will take a major upgrade from me 'for the looks'. That is in no way a need.

My guilds loot policy:

If it has your stats and you can use Need
If you want for companion Greed
Other wise Pass or Dismantle

It just depends on the player and the people in your group... I myself roll greed on almost everything because friends are more important then gear that will be replaced in hours/days.

I used to have a friend who rolled need on everything... it was just the way he was in real life to... he would never help anyone with a quest but expected 100% help for his quests witch he would then roll need on everything... It became such a problem that other players wouldn't group with us because he was known as a bad on the server becasue of his selfishness and stupidity... It can cause a real problem so think about it... Needless to say I do not play games with him anymore and def not mmo's...MMO's are best enjoyed with others while helping others!

It's easy to see how selfish some players are... all they think about is their own char... "a piece drops that is ready to go for a certain class... and you want to take it and mod it up for your own.... "selfish IMO" I refuse to play this game like most MMO"S are played.."first to power trip and finish all the content wins"!

I kind of wait for all the uptights to form their powertrip guilds then I look for a nice laid back guild... the laid back guilds are usually much better for helping you out as the leaders and officers aren't so selfish and busy lvling thier own chars...

i had something similar happen to me.

I'm IA operative and there drops an orange blaster rifle.
There is an IA sniper in grp aswell who uses the same statts but he uses snipers instead.

He rolled need on it cause he said yea i can use the mods to make my weapon better. and sells the orange item.

How to roll in situations like these ?

The armor of orange items is the determined by the lvl of the mods, that argument is invalid.
If someone else wants the whole package of the item as is, and u need to modify it, he should get precedence.
You people should learn the difference between "want" and "need". That the holmark of ninja looters is that they can't tell the difference. Need isn't for any item u can use in some way, only for items that improve your GAMEPLAY. By your definition of "need", you justify crafters who want to RE the items, or people "needing" max lvl purples so they can sell it on AH. Crafters who want to RE should even get precedence, since they improve their craft and can get schematics, which are much more importent than cosmetic considerations. You want cosmetic oranges, go to a commendation vendors who sell tons of oranges of different kind.

Oh brother... nobody is debating this^. I am talking about a situation where the armor is for ones spec and it is an upgrade in every way except it has say idk power instead of aim.

Let's put it a bit more simply. Talk to the group first about what you want to do. If everyone agrees, cool.

Also look at it this way. the armor in your OP only dropped because the Sith Warrior was in your group, if he hadn't been in your group you wouldn't have even seen the armor in the first place, so it makes more sense that it's HIS. Run the FP again until YOUR armor drops.

I can see how with the new system people would role oranges for the mods. I would suggest a compromise in this position where he takes the mods he want, and u get the rifle since an orange rifle is more valuable to you than the mods (usually). It's common curtesy.
