The trash skipping is staggering.

Battle of Ilum and Taral V need a look at IMO, skipping a few trash mobs is okay but when people expect you to run around the edges all the way to the last boss it's annoying.

People who skip that much don't deserve the 5 BH comms at the end, bioware really need to sort these two flashpoints because it's technically an exploit rather than just trash skipping.

That would suck the first time you read the book, but the 100th time you do, you can skip all you want right?

How is legally skipping trash and exploit?

Trash is what it is....Trash.

The trash skipping is staggering.

Which is why TfB trash drops a decent amount of credits I guess.

Doing any HM FP after the umpteenth time isn't "content" so I can still complain about lack of content even if I'm skipping trash.

God this is what is stopping me from running HM FP's altogether. I just came back and started running my healer. Get into FP's and people rushing through skipping boss's to get to the end just for coms. Umm I am here for gear and not just for coms. I dont care if you in end game gear already or what not.

I will admit I left a few HM fp's due to this or even asked why we skipping. The worst comment I got back was " run EV op's or KP for gear not HM FP's". W t F! I dont mind skipping endless trash but not boss's.

So I am asking now ahead of it. If we are rushing to the just the end boss I am leaving. You can wait now even longer for another healer to come on. I will wait my 8 minutes till the next one pops up.

LOVE the shortcuts

just increase agrorange again. If it was lowered in some patch as someone said in an earlier post, then skipping trash isn´t by design. In the world you can keep the lower agro range, but in FP the agro range should be what it was when the FP were designed.

I admit i´ll skip trash just as much as anyone. Exept maybe when i´m leveling an alt. But it´s not what the FP designer ment for us to do. The trash were put there as a gearcheck for bosses. That´s the way it has allways been. Some trash might have a minor version of a certain boss ability. They give hints at how that boss can best be beaten. I know people outgear FP theese days. But saying that skipping trash is by design is just not true. Not to this extent at least.

Battle of Ilum have six encounters with "champion" level enemies (ie.: bossfights) and four of them can be skipped entirely. Same with Taral V: three bossfights (not counting the bonus boss) can be skipped entirely.

That's not good design. Trash is trash but BoI has become ridiculous, my best time is something like 12 mins. And we didn't spacebar the final conversation... You can say that "just don't skip them" but when three people in your group wants to skip the bosses, you skip.

IMHO False Emperor is still the best designed FP by far. Some of the trash pulls are actually challenging, no boss is skippable and there's plenty of story content in it. A shame that Malgus is so effing weak.

Thats why I like running HM FE, Koan(sp), and LI. Alll others I dont even queue for. I hate boss skipping what so ever.
