People who ninja for their companions

It seems like a lot of people in this thread are rolling need for their companions~

It's rude, and saying "my companion is part of my character" is an excuse. You have
companions for basically every stat - why not just need on everything, then?

Man, don't need on items for companions without clearing it with the rest of the group first. It trashes your rep, and it's not worth it. You're only going to use your companions in solo PvE play; the thing you need those epics for is PvP and ops. Companions get gear with their name on it from quest rewards, and that's pretty much good enough, since you get a decent level-appropriate set on each world. Needing for your companion just pisses people off.

My companion is part of my character and I will roll need until something better is developed. Get used to it.

It's a ninja. Players like you i do not want to play with.

Oh trust me, when I'm done with the experiment I plan to blog/post all of the details.



You can feel free to blacklist me now if you'd like though. You'll be the first.

It does seem to have been a complete oversight on BWs part when it comes to gear.

Ideally they'd have allowed need only for the player and greed for companions. But they seem to prefer this free for all that anyone can need absolutely anything and sod the consquences. Lets face it everyone can basically claim need on any item because it's bound to be right for one of the many companions.

I don't think you're using those words properly. If you're spending time farming a weapon, you're not losing rolls to anything.

Say you ninja's played WoW, did you guys NEED on things for your OFFSPEC?

Don't assume that I will make generalizations like you do. Personally, I don't care if someone rolls need for their companions as long as A) no other PLAYERS in the group need the item and B) that someone discussed it with us before the run started.

I do look forward to seeing all of your details. Again: it has to be in runs where you are in groups with different players each time. Also, I would like to see the details soon (within the next week or 2), rather than 1 year or so, when you can filter out the 2 times you weren't blacklisted from the hundreds of runs you go on.

No it's not and I'm glad. People who feel they deserve the loot just because it's a "main" or their "character" are the truly selfish ones. My companion needs the item so I will roll need on the item.
