Please, Don't Roll on Items for Another Class in Your Team

Guidelines are just that, guidelines. They are not fact/law/rules or anything of the kind.

But, you are taking them as such, and anyone who does not agree with you is not grouping with you. because, as we all now by now, you dictate what others players have to do if they want to group with you.

That seems to indeed be the case with this crowd.

[Need]

Again, false assumptions. I notice how you omit the part where you want to dictate what the rest of the crowd do..

That is pretty much the system our guild uses. Now we have it written as a guild rule (including what constitutes a need), and each new member is explained how we work and operate. If you are having problems with guildmates, then make sure rules are written in stone (or durasteel).

However, with PUGs, I wish you the best of luck. Now I have been mostly fortunate and did not have any overtly greedy individuals in my parties, but I know they are out there. However, sadly, you won't be able to prevent people for rolling NEED on everything. Best you can do is remember their names and if they pop up again, don't include them in parties.

Etiquette threads are really pointless. A good memory and an ignore list are the ways to go here.

In a nutshell, yes. I am starting to think they are just eloquently trolling and I am bored at work so I am allowing myself to BE trolled. I manage to gear my companion pretty decently from solo content and the GTN. Rolling need for her (Kaliyo) doesn't really cross my mind in groups. If a thing with her stats did drop and there wasn't a BH in the group I would ASK if it was OK to need it for her. And if not, I would be fine with the luck of the greed roll. And if I REALLY wanted that piece for her I would offer to buy it from whoever did win it if they weren't going to use it. Alt rolls? Same thing. But in the world they are trying to create, just NEED on everything, if a companion cant use it you may have an alt that can. Or you may make one someday.

I mean really, do the basic rules of life need to be taught here? Sharing? Doing the right thing is it's own reward, folks, and karma is a m*******cker.

I would say you are pretty alone ................................

I mean really, do the basic rules of life need to be taught here?

if someone rolls need consistently, one would say greedy git. But! even so, they got a chance to roll like everyone else, and they won.

If I'm in group and someone is pressing need every roll, then sure as heck, as soon as i notice it, I ask, and then roll need too.

Why? Anything is a valid Need with your playstyle? Loot for credits. Loot for mods. Loot for companions. Heck, loot for friends and guildies you play with as they are certainly a factor in your success in both PvE and PvP!

Wouldn't that be a BIT hypocritical to suddenly raise concern about how someone else is playing the game?

This last instance is about the only time I'd be inclined to say something, and I still might not, because other players still get to determine their needs better than I can.
