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

Soldiers should only kill people who deserve it.

Players should only /ignore players who deserve it.

Okay, here we go.

w-t-f is a bubblegum bar? This doesn't even make any sense....

I'm not so self-centered as to put my companion's gear ahead of your actual character's gear.

If it's obviously a drop for your class, and you immediately roll need as if it's an upgrade, then I won't even bother asking if you mind if I roll against you. If it's a drop for your class, and you roll greed as if you don't need it, I'll ask if everyone is ok if I roll need for my companion, if I don't just roll greed instead and give us all an equal chance.

To me it just seems courteous. Ultimately, I want to play with other people, not with my companion. Delaying my companion's upgrade for the direct benefit of a groupmate's character seems like a much better approach to accomplishing this.

You're a loot drama queen if you're insisting that your companion deserves an upgrade over a groupmate.

After 5 weeks of playing and countless Fp's and HM's i have not yet seen 1 person roll need on a item they coudent use.

You just got ninja'd on a piece of leveling gear.
Bad luck.

I don't see anyone advocating the occurrence in the OP. The player in question in the OP was clearly just a "click-monkey" kid who needs on everything... and he didn't realize he couldn't sell the mods.

But much of the reasons for Needing in here have been justified. But we're suggesting that etiquette be used and talk about the loot rules beforehand. For instance, people need to discuss Needing for companions and Needing for Appearance, since both are understandable reasons to need on something that you normally wouldn't.

Best quote of the day.

its sucks but there's not much you can do about it. If loot is that big of a deal to you its best to establish looting rules before you start the instance. If no one can agree on a set of rules you can just leave or take your chances. since the mod system is in place i think its perfectly fine for someone to roll on a modable item even if the mods contained dont benefit them since they can replace them for ones that can, but then i was never one to care too much about drops especially in a pug. now if i am running an instance for a specific drop i will let the others know and ask if they have a problem passing on that item if it drops either way i will probably run it anyway a 1 and 4 chance at winning a roll is better than no chance at all.

The game is not--clearly, if it ever was--about fun and difference, it's exactly like all those others that people rage about: the acqusition of loot (whether they need it or not). That's the only reason these people run raids and why they want to race through the content...it's just to farm loot. And by doing so, keeping people who could actually se the upgrade and making running the content from getting their just rewards, causing frustration and eventual loss of interest in the epeener game. Pretty soon now people will begin being selective and more restrive on who gets in groups, defeating the purpose SW: TOR was suppose to prevent. This isn't about gaming anymore, it's about bragging rights and money. Remove the money sinks and gimmicks to keep people playing and bring back true fun to gaming...maybe a start is to make certain gear (I hate gear chasing) class restrictive. (I can hear that famous actor speaking a warning to that guy in the second dinosaur movie: "Now, you're WoW." pitiful...pitiful.

You can roll whatever you want on whatever you want. That's your choice if you want to piss people off. You won't make any friends like that. And you'll end up playing alone.

People were 90% of the time cool about needing/greeding things in WoW. So far I haven't really seen a reason for concern in this game either.

Well of course outside of the few of you who consider yourselves the official ambassadors of the d-bag patrol.
