Gear 12 request.

Same reason we can't request gear 10-11 Tank components, because the devs said "no".

+1

and for good reason, everyone needs that stuff. One should not feel obliged to donate away gear they need and refusal often offends. So by restricting the G12 gear and the Tank drops we eliminate those potentially awkward moments. I'm sure once it is needed less then the restrictions will be relaxed but until then it works fine.

moved to correct sub forum.

Its awkward for you? when i request for mk3 carbantis i dont make a list of who didnt donate to me in order to save that list for when its payback to withhold gear for donation requests. thats weird dont you think.

Thanks for the information Captain Obvious. I know that. What I was asking was does anybody no why we can't?

As for awkwardness or getting mad....if people don't donate to me, whatever. If I can donate I will and if I can't I won't. I think it helps more to F2P players so I like it. My guild helps each other a ton.

I only ask for gear thats potentially easily given, like when Im gearing a low gear person and there is some gear that needs 4 items, 3 of which I have lots of, then Ill request that 1 extra thing. Being that it is a low gear item I can get 10 donated and most people arent too concerned with hoarding those so they get filled quickly and easily.

It makes no sense to me to request holos or carbantis or the like cause everyone needs them and I cant expect everyone to donate things they are currently farming.

Myself, I don't participate in the gear swap 'feature'. I think it's a zero-sum endeavor.

I guess I'm glad you aren't in my guild then.

Yeah I know, right? My guildmates are constantly complaining about all the gear I donate to them.

The concept of the guild is IMO: "Strength thru cooperation and sharing of the spoils" i.e. rewards and yes sometimes gear with a fellow guildy in need. Gear requests and donations are a bellwether for what sort of members you have in your guild. Members that never donate or ask for gear have no business in a guild. That whole attitude of "I've got mine, go get your own, is childish BS" - a guildie like that should be booted pronto, they are taking up a decent player's space. Besides maybe the Ann Rand Paul club will let 'em join their guild of greed and selfishness?!! Lol!
