This is INDEED a social game and im pretty sure you wouldnt demand retaliation or vengeance for someone else receiving or winning what you had the opportunity to receive as well....or maybe you would? Either way outing me and attempting to reduce me as some criminal just because i dont agree with you is another example of your immature and arrogant attitude

Do not need for companions.
Plain as that.

Or perhaps the other player was simply new, and a mere "Just so you know, Need is for main characters not companions" may have sufficed.

But no, that would instantly turn you into a withering mess of an immature child hell bent on getting what you want, eh?

You claim others are being immature and arrogant. Have you looked in a mirror recently?

I fail to see anything to indicate that he was being immature and arrogant. in fact, I see nothing to indicate that he handled that particular situation in anything but a mature manner.

His post on the forums was angry, nasty, insulting and made just as many assumptions about others as he claimed others made about him.

I have no objection to what he did in-game.

Basically companions would give you free reign to need on everything and claim it's "for your companion", while in reality you just vendor it off.
You can't even inspect other people's companions, which is a moot point anyway since they aren't there - y'know, actually -assisting- with the flashpoint like all the other people who's gear you're stealing are.

What I've often done is just roll greed on it, and then later ask the winner if I can just buy the item off of them for slightly more than they would get for vendoring it - most people tend to be quite reasonable about it.
Other than that, if I see someone "ninja loot" (hit need) something that isn't for their class they'll get the exact same treatment the OP got from his groups, and a nice spot on my ignore list.

I bet that most that ninjaloots for companions actually has no clue if the companion needs it or not, they simply take the item and finds out later.

Do not claim that because some choose to give up their option to roll need, that those that choose to roll need for their companion are "gaming the system". No one is forcing those to choose to roll greed to do so.
They are gaming the system. It does not matter if they expect everyone else to game the system with them. You do not need on an item unless it is an upgrade for the character you are playing on at the time! That is the system. It may be unwritten, but it is the system (the only exception is if you ask before doing so and NO ONE objects). The first time you do not conform, I warn you. Second time you are booted as a ninja and announced on fleet as such. If someone choose to be an ***, they shouldn't be surprised when they get kicked in their ***.

Who is more selfish?
Player B. Who would also have a vote-kick started against them and be put in my /ignore list immediately.
