Rolling need for your companion

Yes... they are. They are part of my character.

I am a member of that Flashpoint that is actually contributing to the defeat of that boss, and therefore being entitled to the loot. I am entitled to any loot, regardless of which part of my character I'm going to equip it in.


It really isn't. some servers in EQ didn't have NBG as the standard rule, it was roll/pass. Some gave all gems to the cleric and some didn't.

never assume that your loot rules are universal; and if you do, and aren't willing to take the 30 seconds required to explain them, don't be angry if people treat loot differently.

Well, one good thing about this thread - it's drawn a few trolls who quickly found their way to the iggy list.

But would you need on a piece of gear a groupmate needed in a flashpoint just for your companion? I keep mine geared as well. And he does have a few instances pieces, but when I see the drop I say "If no one wants do you care if I take for my companion"...If you can't even type that simple line...you're selfish...

The people I play with dont care about low end loot.

EG) last night 2 manning a lower level FP with 2 pets.

Me " Need for comanion loot"

Them "It all good man wont use this stuff more than a few hours"


Also may I please have the name of your uber guild and which server I would like to log in and speak to some of your members about how thier guild experience is going and how often then get guild groups going vs how often they pug?

Cmon I asked nicley.

PS you should try a different game if you think companions ARE NOT part of your character. Dont hate the player, hate the game (design)

Certainly they aren't... I'm a player; I exist in the real world. A companion is part of my character; it exists in the game world. Very different.

Silence Program! You will be sent to the games!

No more so than the person who's unwillign to type "Don't need on stuff for your companion unless you ask and noone is going to use it, ok?"

hehe, nah, not really. Lots of things in the game can provide challenges, and my companions help me all the time. We differ in how we view the game.

But they won't do that, because they don't want the other players to need for companions. See, they want to need for them and their comps, but they only want you to need for your main -- that way, there is less competition for them. They want to be justified in what they are doing, without explaining it.

If the gear is going to improve my character in a way that I have a need for it, I'll roll need on the item.
