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

maybe it'll be a problem in Ops or hard modes... but it's certainly not an issue while leveling (other than the early lack of aoe threat problems due to lack of useful abilities..

A funny thing:

my assassin in a group with a marauder. A lightsaber drops. It is one handed, one blade. It has +willpower and all that's good for a inquisitor.

The marauder needs, i need, i win.

The marauder: waaaaaaah, i need that, i will use it as offhand, you're a ninja.
Me: you don't use willpower, you need strenght, at least i will strip the mods and use them all at the right value.

The marauder: no no, it is a single blade weapon and is rightfully mine even if willpower is 0 for me.

So ... who has is the right one in this situation?

whoever isn't complaining about it.

This is true, but it needs to be fixed. Needing for currently played toon is fine. but rolling for mods or worse your companions is just dumb, imo, but until Bioware decides to change it anyone can roll need

Yup, until someone out-rolls you on a piece of gear you've been waiting for for days, maybe even weeks, and only intends on vendoring it or having it because it looks cool and doesn't benefit him statistically what so ever. Then you'll be the one coming here to ***** about it. And if I'm wrong, I'll be very, very surprised. I've seen tons of kids like you, and they are all the same. Yes I will be stereotypical. I haven't been surprised yet.

Need the crit out of that piece, sorry.

Our perspective is more valid because Bioware FORCE FED these people what their proper stats were through out their entire play time. They know, as a Jedi Knight, that STR is their main stat. If they're rolling on Cunning items when a Smuggler is in the group, they're douche bags. Plain and simple. You can argue for these douche bags all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a douche move.

I think the arguments in this thread for your side are absolutely ridiculous. According to you, a person needing on an item that's not intended for their class is completely fine as long as it will benefit their character in some way. Well genius, every item can be sold and credits = better everything for my character. So, according to you, everyone should just roll need on everything that drops. Of course, this would completely destroy people's sole purpose for being in the flashpoint in the first place and will likely either shy them away from them in the future or in the very least, never group with you again. But, who cares about other people? Who cares about the community working together in hopes that people are decent to one another? As long as I gotz MINE, who cares about that other guy in the group? Heck, you may never see him again. Or then again, he may be group leader for that Heroic quest that you've been shouting about in gen chat for the last 10 minutes who refuses to let you join in the fun...


Also, if you're walking down the street and someone collapses on the side walk, just keep right on walking. I mean, you just picked up lunch and how dare that guy be selfish and entitled thinking you should let your lunch grow cold to help him out. Heck, you'll probably never see that guy again.

I wouldn't care.

Maybe I base less of my sense of self worth on the pixels that my virtual character has? Or perhaps it's that I don't think I'm more entitled to the gear than other people who were there to kill the boss that dropped it...

In FPs, only people should roll need for themselves. Not companions.

In heroic instances. Ask the group if you can roll need for a companion.

If people dont do this. I just put them on ignore, then forward there name to all my guild who also puts them on ignore. I advise everyone to do this as these ninjas will eventually get blacklisted by most of the server.

Dont rant, dont kick off. Just ignore them and move on. They will be the ones who looses out in the end if they keep there playstyle up!

MMO etiquette defines MMOs from other online games!

I'm fine with that, if that's what you want to do...

Personally, I'm not that worried about credits per se, so I'll stick to rolling on the stuff that I want, for the reasons that I want it. I'll continue believing that your want isn't more important than mine. And I'll continue to believe that if you feel like you're somehow entitled to the loot for some arbitrary reason, that you're being selfish and greedy.

No, there are lots of reasons to run flash points.

The people who don't feel that they're more entitled to loot just because it matches some arbitrary pattern.

The people who don't feel that they're more entitled to loot just because it matches some arbitrary pattern.

MINE = feels entitled to the gear for some reason. The only way you should feel entitled to it is if you won the roll.

Bad analogy.
