I agree but it is undeniable that the companion is NOT PARTICIPATING during the need roll. The companion is also NOT USED in the group setting that this discussion pertains to. I have NEVER had any difficulty gearing up my companions from quest/bought items and CERTAINLY not to the point that I would override someone in my group just to gear a PET. No matter how you put it, it comes down to that you want your PET to take precedence over a PLAYER CHARACTER that actively contributed to the REASON why the loot dropped in the first place. Which lends itself to the fact that the player who chooses that route IS being selfish. Companion = Solo So gear him while you're playing solo. Don't deny me a group-earned equipment upgrade because after we're done grouping you want to go play solo with better equipment on your pet.

Laying ground rules every time you start an instance is neither practical nor needed since the consencus of the comunity is not to role need on items you can't use. And now you wonder why people keep asking for LFD tools. You can now take note of this name, and never group with him again! We can't do that with a cross server LFD tool. Ironic, isn't it?

What's funny is I'm sure half the people saying "I NEED FOR COMPANION" would ragequit if someone took their "main toons" upgrade...It's just playing selfishly. In single player games it's ok to "me me me" but since you can't solo the flashpoint...stop being an *** and share. =D

In my case i offer the option to kick the guy , if they do not , i leave.
The Lord said: "QQ enough and thou shall receive it." The followers said: "I shall QQ my lord, i shall QQ." And since then , not a single day passed without the QQs being heard.

Someone answer me this..... If it's ok to need for companions...can I need for my friends who aren't currently in group? They help me progress through the game too... Companions are an integral part of your overall character. They are not your friends, they are not your alts. COMPANIONS ARE YOU. See, I can state an opinion as fact as well.

We can't do that with a cross server LFD tool. Ironic, isn't it? It's already happening without LFD and people don't seem to care. So what harm would bringing the system do? Can't really get worse than 2-3 topics a day about ninja looting...

Need and Companion buttons only light up and become live if you can use it, or if your companion can. By endgame, you have companions that can use pretty much every weapon and armor type. So you're not going to protect against ninjas disabling that button.

It is a fictional construct that only exists in the game - just like the companions. Don't confuse a player with a character/companion/NPC or any other imaginary thing.
