No, You May Not Roll on Items for Another Class and Strip Out the Mods

Sure, everyone wants them, everyone will use them, noone is more entitled to them than anyone else.

How so?

I'm calling a spade a spade.

You want an item and feel entitled to it. Whether a particualr set of pixels that you have control over can equip it or not is irrelevant. If you insist that you are more entitled to it than someone else who has put in the same effort for it, then you're being greedy. You are being more greedy and selfish than someone who just rolls need and doesn't argue that he's more entitled to it.

There's no need involved; it's just a word people say to make themselves feel better about the situation.

fixed

they're all equally selfish acts.

It's not a control issue, it's a trust issue. When I play with my RL Friend, I know he won't roll on items that his character can't use.

What do you roll? Need or Greed?

That's true. I ran... I think it's Mandalorian Raiders or something yesterday or two days ago, saw some nice Trooper pants that fit my "heavy armor" look on my Vanguard. I want them, they had better stats than my current pants, but I didn't win the roll. Boo hoo, I'll run it later when I can easily solo it with Elara.

You are the kind of person I love to kick and ignore

Except for the class that the item is designed for. That guy clearly has more of a need--for a given value of "need" in a video game--than the guy who is a different class.

It's not about entitlement, it's about sense. The item is, say, for a Jedi, but has a mod in it that a trooper can use, so the trooper rolls on the item. Now you're saying both classes have an equal claim to the item because no one NEEDS it like it's oxygen or water.

Yeah, it's a game. The goal of the game is "progress your character," and the way that's done once you hit 50 is through gear. Saying everyone has the same need for everything because none of it is food and this is just a video game is a flimsy pretext for you to be a greedy *******.

I think they should just do what City of Heroes does.

They randomly generate loot, randomly choose people to give it to, and only the person who received the loot knows what they got, unless they want to share in chat. No hurt feelings, everyone gets stuff, relevant to your toon or not.

As an example, I get just as angry in a group when this happens when it's not me who is affected. I have left groups when items I can't even equip are stolen from another player. As I said, it's not the item I'm upset about, it's the lack of respect and common courtesy.

Irrelevant. There's no logic in the quoted text. In that particualr piece of quoted text there is an opinion with no backing logic. There's no logic present to call faulty logic.

Calling faulty logic on that statement is, itself, a fallacious argument.

I'm pretty sure the OP is.

No, you're complaining about a particular type of greed and selfishness, and trying to label it as more greedy than rolling need because you want to wear it and it happens to have stats that you feel are better than your current ones when that is just simply not the case.

It's not a feeling. Some items are designed for certain classes and it's obvious upon looking at the item.
