Rolling need for your companion

You see ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's etiqette and I would be perfectly happy if people announced it before hand. It's the jerk who has no consideration for his actions until it is too late, that deserves a kick/ignore.

Rolling for your companion should not be considered the norm in a PUG, however. The rarity of certain falls should go to the Main who is in the group. No one should assume that the player who NEEDS it because that's his main class won't be hurt by some bloke who rolls NEED who is going to put it on his pet.

I think that you're giving your "point" quite a bit more credit than it deserves. In fact, it deserves none, because it's oxymoronic, given the context.

If you are saying something is "acceptable behavior", then you are installing yourself as the authority. It doesn't matter a whit whether you're saying it's "acceptable behavior" or "not acceptable behavior" it's that you're claiming that your viewpoint is the correct one. We all appoint ourselves as an authority whenever we voice an opinion. It's not rocket science.

That's about as much of my time as I am willing to expend on you. Au revoir!

P.S. The "libel" thing was cute - entertaining drama to be sure - but you should probably research the term before you casually toss it around on a forum without knowing what it means.

lol ok then buddy. go back to playing.

I've adopted the following:

Someone needs on gear without saying anything, and they obviously can't use?
Someone needs on something for a companion?
I need on every single thing that drops in the instance.
Then when I get out, I put them on the do not group list and that's that.

If you are so sure it wont happen then....

Post your name, server, guild, and that you will roll need on every piece of gear for your companion in raids/groups even though a player may need that item.

No, you REFUSE to see the logic. That's different than being unable to see the logic. You just don't like it.

The fact of the matter is that companions are now a part of your complete character. Nothing is going to change that until Bioware changes it.

If it comes down to people actually trying to blacklist people for rolling on their companions, the community will be split in half. I have a very hard time believing that people are so dense as to not see this new shift in character customization.

I guess I will find out. But something tells me I'm just dealing with a vocal minority here.

wow that is excellent. lets all do that

Companions are used for soloing and farming, both of which can be done in greens, so they don't really need anything more. Companions are not used in PvP, operations, group flashpoints and other actually gear intensive content. People shouldn't be needing on gear just because they want it.

Either way I'd go by a more logical rule, if your companion is not helping you earn the gear, it doesn't get priority in winning it, to me its like rolling need on BoEs for your friends.

Shouldn't be necessary. You should be able to show me 150 people it already happened to, since it's so self-evident and everything. Let's see them.

What exactly did your companion contribute to that flashpoint group that you rolled need against to get gear for it? Your companion isn't there and contributed in absolutely no way, yet you insist on rolling for gear for it. And you think I'm refusing to see logic...
