Now apologies in advance if this sounds snarly but I have to ask.
I realize the demands of a functioning social life and occasional romantic life leaves me with much less time to play online RPG's, as opposed to some of the knobs I have encountered today. So perhaps I am not up on the etiquette for clicking need on pretend items during a Flashpoint.
I was under the impression the way the game works is if you need the item, you click need, if you don't you click pass and if you want it to sell or some such you click greed. This is how I play and assumed of others as well. Some items that dropped I wanted for my companions so of course I clicked need on a couple of drops and got reamed out and booted. I even stated if someone wanted the item they just had to ask and I would hand it over, which I did for one of them.
See I can do this because I don't actually give a cats behind about pretend pants on a silly video game. I pass on stuff all the time and give the items away if I am asked nicely.
So what is the "rules" here...is needing on items for companions kosher? I would love peoples opinions.
