2 dps
and me healer

A DPS and I start kicking the tanks as we move forward and other DPS throws a hissy fit

whiny DPS: "STOP THAT!!!!!!"
Me: "?????"
DPS and I kick two more tanks
Whiny DPS "STOP THAT, we need those for the fights, stop breaking the tanks"
Me: "LOL, Im a ops geared healer whose ran NiM. Calm the bleep down, we are just fine with out tanks"
DPS and I kick 2 more tanks
about a minute goes by
Whiny DPS "Enjoy my DC" (and he rage quits)

No joke
no deaths
no one even got under 80% health
group was doing fine
and he threw a tantrum and rage quit

Funny thing is I was laughing so hard about this I forgot to watch my own health and died next pull
Which made me laugh even harder

We requeued, got another DPS (cause lets face it, regardless of their own opinion of themselves, DPS are a dime a dozen in SW:TOR and easily replaced on the fly) and group went on with no drama, no issues, nice clean run.

Tried putting name of player on ignore ona few of my characters and seems the child either cancelled account or deleted character cause according to game, his name no longer exists.

LMAO!

Who knew kolto tanks could cause their own version of roid rage?
I would have quit too but not because a tank wasn't needed. I would quit because you were being an elitist jerk and kicking people without reason other than the fact that they were tanks.
Dear BW,
Please nerf paper and buff rock. Scissors is fine as is.

they were kicking the tanks for the achievement and title. I assume if they explained that to the DPS it might have changed his reaction.

I had to reread that post several times to understand he was kicking the kolto barrels, not player tanks.

took me few rereads as well :P

yeah, breaking those Kolto barrels counts towards achievement for whoever broke the barrel. hmmm I'm kinda considering soloing that flashpoint and doing nothing but breaking the barrels away from trash pulls, zoning out, resetting and zoning back in. now that people know about that achiev, competition for kolto barrel breaking is pretty fierce :P

I have never wiped on a tactical before but that is probably because my main toon solo's them for relics/research data.

I dont blame the guy for leaving but imo you dont have the right to rage about a wipe in the tactical because you could have carried a "bad" group yourself.
Sounds like a good opportunity for violence.

The tacticals have been painful lately. The DD's are for the most part so incompetent that I, usually as the healer, will get dps aggro that I can't even drop. It has taken aeons to down some of the bosses despite that I - again, as the healer - has done more dps than the DD'es while also healing these people, who seemingly can cut their health in half by just looking at the enemies. PAINFUL.

Don't get me started on all the other crap they do. I mark healer droids and they still attack something els, they stand and die in electro puddles (several times) and despite that I tell them that they shouldnt release, so I can stealth res, they're doing it anyway. On top of this snail tempo and all the other **** I have to sit through the convos and usually also full selection bars. The only pro is that they're so retarded that they're sometimes not even needing on the relics.
The only reason I havent quit all of the tacticals lately is because I've felt that I've endured so much BS that i can't just give up....and I don't want the lockout. Dumbest people on the planet and if it was down to survival of the fittest they'd be dead on day one.

I have held aggro on bosses on my sniper by keeping up (lethal shot?) and using AA. while killing all the adds. its sad

I've wiped on Tython when the shields bug on first boss, a group dies to the bombs, runs back and pulls multiple packs of trash up to the platform while I'm dancing between bombs trying to get the last add dead.

Sadly this has happened more than once since 2.9 to the point I won't run it on the Pub side (I haven't had the shields bug on the Imp side).

Yeah it's been pretty bad lately. I think there's a lot of players putting undergeared or underplayed alts through the tacticals for the Conquest points. Poor gear doesn't necessarily mean a wipe if players at least know their toons, but it does make the boss fights last forever.

But there's also a lot of inexperienced players crawling out of the woodwork too. Some don't know their class (did one tactical with a dps Scoundrel spamming only Flurry Of Bolts) and lots of others don't know the fights (which is perfectly fine if they say so, but many don't).

I've been putting all my Legacy alts through the tacticals too for the Conquest points. But I've made sure they're all in a minimum of 162 gear and I've got a reasonable grasp of each class (albeit sometimes a bit rusty).

Wiped twice in a tactical? Try another game.
