In ANY FP, I queue as a healer. In ACTIVITIES I show DPS only. I also set that in Loot Preferences. I was not queued at the time.
On my ticket, I am told
"Hi Lecivius,
I am Alexandre, from Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Customer Service
I am sorry to learn that you are always keyed as a Healer in any Group Finder despite being Telekenetic Sage.
The system can leasd you indeed to be very ofte keyed as healer.
Too many DPS go for Group finder and healers and tanks are more often needed,
In roder to group a max of people so they can play if there is no natural healers, the sytem will take the classes that can potantailly heal, and dps, such as the sith inquisitor, the sage, etc.."
So the system will set you to whatever it needs, irregardless of what you are. In my case, I am stuck on heals 24/7. That is SO FUBAR as to defy explanation. It not only has me completely screwed, but anyone I group with as well. If the system is going to define your roles, why offer any path other than what is desired by the game queues?
