Rolling need for your companion

Exactly

Should be noted, according to BioWare, you are not expected to keep ALL your companions geared at all times. (They dropped this little tidbit on us in the Jedi Knight forum in regards to a certain story quest).

I could, in a way, see limiting it to one single companion for arguments sake. When you level, you tend to use a single companion the majority of the time.

I, personally, feel that the community grows stronger by not needing for companions, since that effectively means player gear levels increase for further flashpoints and group encounters.

IF someone gears their companion, they alone get the benefit (unless we're talking about two-man heroics, etc).

If someone helps gear another player, anyone that person groups with in 4-man heroics and flashpoints gets the benefit of a better geared person to play with.

Do you really think that helps?

Also you miss used the word ninja.

He's right though. NONE of the people saying they need on companion gear would ever post their server, let alone character name...anonymity is great..can troll all you want...

I get all the cyber-action I need from my guildmates, sorry. Don't need you trying to RP it all up in my chat window.

Are you sad that you can't manually farm in this game? I know how much you guys love that.

Edit: And for funsies I'll bite on one of those: I have a tank and main a healer. Instant flashpoint groups. The problem is finding people who aren't terrible to run them with if you aren't guilded. Hence, the guild.

just at the beginning, or whenever you invite new people (if you get a replacement) would be sufficient.

At that point, it would actually be ninjalooting; before that it isn't, you're just being irrationally angry at being denied a piece of loot.

Though it's kind of sad how watered down that term has become; taking a loot in a group with an innapropriate need roll is hardly in the same league as real ninjalooting (say standing invis on a raid bosses corpse and looting everything off of it without being in a group so noone can see you loot)

His entire post meant nothing the moment he used ninja to describe need rolling for companion gear so..yeah. it's not fair to try and blow up your post by missuing that word.

Well I don't want to group with them in the first place if they are only in it for selfish reasons. Perhaps they should run Flashpoints with their own guild?

If you are taking loot from someone who can use, for yourself who can't, (companion doesn't count unless it helped on the kill), then the loot WAS ninja'ed....
