So can we make Decoration drops bound already?

Awww, did somebody roll need on your flower pot?

And those that actually click need to use in their stronghold get called 'ninja'
i was in a KP group earlier this week, and the Hutt Flagg deco dropped a couple of times,
i won a need roll twice (everyone was needing) and was accused of ninja'ing because apparently there is an unwritten rule that once you won a decoration you can't need on that decoration again within the same group.
I was unaware of this, no looting rules were stated before the start or during the raid, only after i won that flag a second time some other players started namecalling.
I apologized and said i would pass on everything else ( i already passed on everything else that dropped before to as i didn't need the gear that dropped there, i was just there for weekly and deco's) and i did pass on all the rest, even the pets that dropped, so i kept my word, but i didn't feel like i had to give one of those 2 flags to someone else.
was i wrong there? because people still called me a ninja.

..... He can't put a bound IMPLANT in a legacy shell... although who would put a AIM implant on a cunning using op.....

Getting more than a little sick of only having a 1/4 chance (or 1/8, 1/16 for Operations) at decoration drops simply because even the people who don't want it/already have it are mashing that Need button and then immediately throwing it up for sale on the GTN trying to make a quick buck.

Er, the only people who'll "go without" are the greedy people rolling Need on items they already have and don't intend to use.

You don't go into a Hateful Entity run wearing a Crest of the Dread Master and then roll Need on it/Master Looter it to yourself, that's insane. You don't go into NiM EV and roll Need on a Desler Avenger while riding one around. You don't roll Need on Dwedtooth while having one follow you.

Decorations? Seems all the public groups I run, Need no matter what, even if they have 50 of it already because "well I can sell it!". And that's bad.


Need = an item you don't have/crafting materials you require for use

Greed = an item you already have and want to sell

Pass = an item you don't want at all and forfeit rolling on


For long as I've been playing, that's been the basic public group courtesy. Then with the Forged Alliances arc... unbound pets = sellable on the GTN = $$$$, so now greedy people smash need regardless.


If the majority of players are now ignoring the Greed roll entirely in unbound items, then there's a problem. People aren't mashing Need for every single trash drop (all of which can be vendored for cash), which is the same thing according to you lot.

Quite simply if you want to sell it, you should be forced into a Greed roll. If there weren't "big numbers" on the GTN, I'm sure you already would be. Everything else is bound to stop you exploiting the market, deco's should not be an exception.



What next, Crest of the Dread Master's on the GTN? Ranked PvP Gear?

That I can fill up my Stronghold with Ops drops without even stepping foot in them is an issue in itself...

What this guy said. Doesn't matter if your playing your jugg and a deco drops. You learn it and your jugg, your pwertech, and your sniper/whatever alt you log in can all place it where you want.

Useful for me since I have all the SH unlocked, I buy & "learn" decos with my main, and have faction specific strongholds decorated by the appropriately factioned alt.

Apparently this isn't the case for mounts and pets, which is a bummer to be honest.
For the stronghold these are seen as decorations too, so why are we not able to access those from another character to place it in a stronghold. While decorating my NS stronghold i found myself switching between 2 characters to get this stuff place in the right spot.

Well, yes, mounts and companions must be placed by the character that has them, but to be honest, so you pay 1000 credits to port to Kaas SH (the Sith SH, I assume) and plop it in there. Not a big deal imo...

Hell no!!! that is a great income source for me, all these people enjoying their barbie mini game and i can make some creds off of them. If you can't win Need roll then it is your bad luck, blame god not players. Do you have any idea how many times i tanked DF and DP with my 162 rating cz MH and when an underworld MH token dropped i saw a guy with 180 MH won need roll on it? that is just our bad luck we can't blame players for it. and no way decoration should be bound because then we can not donate to guild.
