People who ninja for their companions

It would be nice if companion gear simply scaled with the player's equipped items, or if they just introduced companion only gear. I like this game a lot, but the whole companion thing sucks, imo. It would be somewhat better, imo, if we could at least rename the things or have more control over their appearance.

But, again imo, virtually everything about companions stink.

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.
Nobody's blacklisted me yet. The experiment is taking place still. It's got to continue on through raid content though, so that probably won't happen in the next two weeks. Especially since there's a new raid coming in 4 days or so.

All I ask is one simple thing. If you plan on rolling need for companions say so to the group up front. It's only a problem for me if I've been rolling greed on good items during the run and then have someone do the companion roll thing without warning. Warning people in advance makes it not ninja.

How many groups do you think he would get saying im rolling need for gear for my companion though to be honest I'd bet 0.

Obvious new player to MMO's. And if you played WoW let me guess, you were a caster dps who rolled on healer gear because it was your offspec. Selfish player is selfish. Do you really need your companion geared? You dont take them on flashpoints, operations, or PVP and questing is easy enough as it is. I got to 50 with my companion only using the greens that i got from questing.

With the amount of companions you get, are you just going to roll need on every item that drops?

3 agents in group. A nice purple protype drops clearly meant for agents. All roll need.

A sith assasin also rolls need and wins, saying he needed it for his companion.

Was his companion involved in the battle that resulted in the loot drop? If so, that's fair and perfectly fine. If not, that's lame.

Heck, for all we know his companion character outperformed some of the player characters in your group.

Whatever, it's not against the rules to do so. I will keep doing it as I consider my companions part of my character.
