We differ in that I know how to play it, whereas you Need for companions.

So people should have to go out of their way to stop someone from being rude...instead of the guy who wants to need on stuff to ASK FIRST? Would you really listen if someone said that at the start of the group though? OR, first upgrade for your companion you see you say "screw this" and need it anyways?

If you say bro. Play the game the way you like, that's cool with me, but don't get angry that others play differently.

The leveling process and solo content post starting world was balanced around having a companion. What this means is that once you get your companion you are essentially required to gear two characters to continue being effective playing solo, which while leveling is 75% or more of the time.

I'm not really agreeing with people who roll need on an item their companion can use before letting a contributing member of the Flashpoint have it, but arguing that your companions aren't a part of you is stupid, they need gear almost as much as you do. I will concede though that some classes don't need their companion as much as others, but some (like the Madness Assassin) require a well geared companion to even survive eve leveled solo content.

My take? Take a look at who's rolling what and see if it's an upgrade for them. If they roll need, let them have it or ask if it's OK to roll need for your companion, if no one says anything or they say it's OK, go ahead and roll.

No one can fault you for communcating and asking first.

Then run the instance with your companion. Make a group of you and 1 other person. Then both of you can use companions.

Wait what you cannot do that? Most places require atleast 4 people. Hmmm. Then lets assume that all people work for there main character participating are working for there main character.

Then lets assume that you actually work on the planet for accommodation which can also be used to purchase items that can upgrade your companion characters.

Being that companions when you have all of them can wear the whole assortment of gear. I have so far with only 2 companions light armor, my character medium armor, and second companion heavy armor. In the long run I can basically with your rule set roll on all gear drops in every instance I run. Also including all weapons from light sabers to pistols and rifles.

I value the gearing of people I group with for flashpoints more than I value the gearing of my companions from flashpoints.

You think guilds are hot sh*t sub max level. you in fact DO NOT know how to play this game.

You think you do, but ignorance is not an excuse.

Threads like this will just make it so out of fear of being ninja'ed, everyone will just need on everything that drops period. Guess we all win or lose depending on how you want to look at it...

If you believe this so strongly post your character name, server, and guild name and state that you will roll need on any piece of gear for your companion in any raid or group activity where your companion did not contribute.

So far, none of the people who think it is ok are willing to stand by their convictions.
