I think sometimes Raiders need to be reminded a Flashpoint isn't an OP

If you pull first = you want to tank.
Tbh, I don't have problems watching you die to easy trash pull.
lolno I can tank 90% of the mob pulls in flashpoints on my dps with nothing but a healer.

None of the flashpoints in this game currently have trash mobs that hit hard enough to mandate the tank always going in first. The only time the tank is required to go in first is when the tank is a narcissistic drama queen.

I have a tank, I have three tanks actually. I have zero damn issues with someone pulling ahead of me, gaining threat in this game is easy as hell, in fact if I am tanking and someone is pulling ahead of me, that tells me that I'm not going fast enough.
Crinn

Sanity is for the weak minded.

It's what I mean about some people needing to lighten up.

No, it gives only one very clear message to tank: "you're not needed here."
Like you said, all flashpoints and operations can be tanked as dps.

Don't tell me about regaining threat... Lol, noob imps tried to steal one of those level 50 champions from my tank during Rakghoul event. They tried, oh yeah, they sure tried but failed hard.

As a dps your job is to do as much damage as possible. You're not doing your job properly if you have to waste GCDs to defensive CDs.

Who really cares? If stuff dies, does it matter who tanked?

If I'm not needed in group then I want to use my time somewhere else. Tanks don't do much damage so I would only slow this gogogo-group down.

Or you could not let it bother you and just go with it? Too many players getting easily offended in this game.

When you have 5+ hours to play, go ahead.

2-3 hours/day is another story...
My time is better spend on leveling alts and grinding dailies than "helping a group just because it's good for them".
Btw, I would only waste their time by slowing the group down. They're better off with 3rd dps anyway.

Actually, if we think about it, tank and healer are both useless:

For once we agree. The point of the game is fun. When I do KDY with 2 other DPS and a tank, I NEVER think "oh great, that tank is going to slow us down".

Apparently you've never done KDY in group of 4x DPS Operative.
