To the careless fools using the Group Finder

I also get this alot, I uncheck Tank and hit Join Q and BAM, group formed with me as tank...
I'm probably getting a bad rep on my server for declining sp many FPs
The times it works is also when you see in the chat: Your role is set to: Damage (or something like this)

I'm almost full rakata and have been enjoying q'ing for story mode FPs, lots of people who have never run them and are having fun figuring things out.
Was a little worried when I joined LI and was the only one who had done it, but we got through that just fine (nm ofcourse).

Don't know how long that'll last though, you do get bored of the same FPs again and again.

I personally come from doing heroics and raids on wow, granted wow is alot easier, but i learnt that the tank pulls, the dps kill, the healer heals.

Bad players are bad players....doesn't matter what spec they are. The LFG tool isn't going to eliminate bad players. The good thing is that you can put them on your ignore list though and you'll never get through into a group with them again on the group finder.

I have been fairly fortunate with the groups I have had from GF. I have been group with some impatient people but I would say the biggest problem I have faced regularly is under geared dps to the stage where we can beat the enrage timers by a long way. But in most cases they have realised this themselves and pulled out of the group.

I did go into the Foundry with my healer and I had the highest HP for the whole group. But we made it through fine.

I have to agree with what some of the other healers have said, it does make it more fun with an ungeared or reckless group because it is more of a challenge.

This is why the new LFG function is a joke.
Most of the people that wanted it, were people who were tired of putting a group together in chat, then being kicked from said group and added to ignore lists for being an aggro-drawing moron who thinks they should be able to play however they want, and the rest of the group should learn to keep up with their "playstyle".
Now, with the new LFG function, you get to meet the people who wanted LFG more often!

Nothing like random PUGs to remind people why General chat and flagging for LFG worked fine to begin with.

Remember, you asked for it.

Mwuhahahahahahahaaaaaa......................

have no problem with a dpser pulling if say the tank is being too slow and not pulling fast enough or if the tank is undergeared and the dpser is geared. Most trash pulls in heroics dont require an actual tank anyways.

As a sorc DD i often find myself in situations when i'm an emergency offhealer - shielder, thus saving the party. Should i not do it?

Hmm i remember how DPS Mercenary with 22k health died from the first group in Black Talon... in 2 seconds! As an operative healer, i usually start this fight with Blinding Flash followed by Orbital Strike, then evasion and some healing. But this 22k guy was already dead when i finished casting Orbital. So, dear DPS, don't underestimate trash, especially the dreaded first group in BT

Different game, same DPS crap.

I am not surprised. It's kind of like the guy who insulted the entire group as soon as he showed up and then proceeded to do so individually until the group disbanded.

Again, not surprised. Humans have few redeeming qualities.

to be honest, this is what most players were screaming about before LFG was implimented.
there had to be a check on spec before you could select a certain role. 95% of the time (1 instance in about 20) i have had an actual tank specced char perform as tank.
the rest of the time its been a dps playing healer (didnt end well) and dps performing as tanks (because EA have made dps/tank roles fairly interchangeable until 50 ... this is going to continue to happen) ... its a pain to do.
healing a tank is grand, healing a dps as tank is a pain ... especially when they whinge the boss hits them too hard.
jeebus, i just want to reach through the screen and strangle em.

there should be checks on spec before selecting roles (ive no problem with not having gear checks, once the abilitys are there) and there should be a wider gap between dps and tanking damage sustained. i know why they made dps and tanks so intermingled (to stop the mad queue times if youre dps, i presume) but its a complete pain having to heal dps as tanks in normal mode.
leveling as a tank is just as easy as dps, so theres no issue with roling a tank for leveling .. a lesson wow learned only recently.

as for the op, well some people are just sad. let em die, everyone will vote to kick em and then you can continue in peace and put em on ignore so youll never party again.
