as far as security keys and fleet passes purchased are concerned, i'm pretty sure that on a good deal of planets if your quick travel/EFP is down, you can fly to the location of the "shuttle to fleet" (i know off the top of my head that there is one on dromond kaas, belsavis, and a few others AT LEAST... anywhere where there is a flashpoint courier) this will cut your loading screen time significantly. not sure if that's been mentioned.

just so you know, people who are mind trapped at the end of soa can receive loot. you just have to have them come down and rez them, brez if they're in combat. they can receive loot. this happens to us almost every time we kill him.

i agree. and i say to people who complain about the 2nd one, the ignore feature and/or having self-esteem goes a long way.

quoting to show how you invalidated your own claims.

1) meters don't cause the harassment. i guarantee that if a group is wiping to an enrage, someone who is a dick will find a way to insult you if they think you're to blame. if meters were in, and you had some funky hybrid spec but were beating the other dps, nobody could say anything but someone will make a snap judgement on you whether there is a meter or not. meters are a tool to be used to evaluate personal progress and are a positive resource. just because cruel people use them otherwise doesn't make the meter the problem. 2) arcane mage vs frost mage. arcane uses 2-3 buttons plus cooldowns, frost uses 3 plus cooldown. congratulations (i've played both pushing content) find a better example also, as i've said many times before in other threads such as this one: do not group with people who harass you. if someone harasses you, you have the option to not group with them and/or find people who are of a like mind with yourself. they are out there and you will have fun with them.

i am amazed every day by people who buy a game without knowing anything about it, the gameplay, the character models and the questing/voice acting. all of this information was there to be had and you knew you wouldn't like it but you bought it anyway? i happen to like it, myself, but i probably would never have bought the game if i didn't get to try the beta during one of the stress test weekends. people are really dumb.

but... but pain hardens! isn't that a good thing?

didn't spacebar? check. didn't pvp all day? check. have a 9-5 and spent holidays afk? check. level 50 with 8 man normal and parts of 8 hard and most of 16 normal cleared? check. NEXT CHALLENGER?

you need more grapple debuffs, and it's a speeder boss, not a grass boss.

maybe i'm not understanding your idea properly, but since ranged classes do not have a minimum range, it seems to me like your idea would just cause a raid to stack everyone inside. unless you are talking about the damage being similar close to the boss as it is now... in which case i think people would probably still stack on the boss.

hey, our gap closer is rifle shot. (says the operative who was required to heal to raid and is rerolling sniper)

@kalfear: clearly you have had a lot of bad experiences, but there are a lot of people who do want these things, and want to be very good at what they do from performing their role to knowing mechanics and executing well that are NICE PEOPLE. I know them, they're not hard to find. As much as dealing with ******es is frustrating, it is really not a big deal to never group with them again. it's less using the ignore feature (though it is a good feature), and more just not really letting them get to you and just finding people you like and see eye to eye with.
