Is there a common courtesy thing in-game?


Recommended Posts

I understand perfectly what he is talking about. 3 of my 10 level 50s are Sentinel, Marauder and Juggernaut so I can relate to what he means.

 

However.....

 

If there is a juggernaut in the team and a heavy armor piece drops the juggernaut should have it over a marauder, all else is pure wrong and considered ninjalooting. I would gladly support a vote kick if the juggernaut lost a heavy armourpiece to a marauder and ofcourse place the ninja on my ignorelist.

 

I have seen many take loot they cant equip saying they need it for the mods but it is still wrong and I will never support it. I still stand by my opinion that need is for the specific class and nothing else. If the player want a item for mods they can either ask the team or greed and hope for the best.

 

The problem with this is that in most cases the item is the mods that comprise it. For example, consider what a case where dps modded heavy armor drops. If there is a tank jugg and a mara, it is clear that the drop should be needed by the mara and greed/pass by the tank. This is true because its the mods that matter, not the shell (which can be reasonably considered worthless). Now if we have a dps jugg and a mara with the same heavy dps drop, the same argument applies. Both characters stand to gain exactly the same in stats, and both can "equip" the item on the spot (albeit the mara will take a few more secs to replace the mods). If you look at it from the upgrade perspective that need/greed is generally considered to imply, the only additional benefit the jugg would receive would be the empty shell. Logically, the empty shell is effectively cosmetic and therefore not something that you can roll "need" on by itself.

 

Your argument that "need is for a specific class" only is a general and uninformed statement that ignores logic and the mechanics of the game.

Ignores logic? Nah you are wrong. I simply say that the current gamemecanics is wrong and needs to be set like many other MMOs out there. If a item drops that is specific for a class then that class should have the first option to take it, not some random class that cant equip it.

 

I am tired of players snatching items for their companions and players "pressing the wrong button by misstake". If a marauder wants to have dps mods it is easy to ask the team if this is implemented, communication is the key here.

 

Uninformed statement does not apply, I am well aware what I am writing.

if you need it, need it. if you don't but you fancy even just selling it, then greed it. It's totally fair enough.

 

If you mean YOU as the specific player then I agree.

 

It is fair what you write, but in most cases it does not work in reality nowdays.

 

There are to many that thinks their companion is equal need and players that seems to make up excuses why that specific item they can´t use is equal important to them.

 

A item that drops is a item that belongs to the one in the team that can equip it, very simple and very true. Anything else is a matter of communication and if the team agrees it is reasonable enough there should be no problem whatsoever.
