So Why is Threat Invisible?

Wow...just wow.

You rejected answers you don't like o further your own incorrect or misguided notion of what you think is correct.

The point being that you don't that your not making the game play for you, but it's a useful tool if for the sole purpose of AOE threat.

However, that being said, I don't necessarily think that threat needs to be visible for me personally, as I don't have issue past the occasional DPS who likes to pull. In the case that I find a DPS'er that get's a little trigger happy, I let them tank for me, and I DPS. They usually take the hint pretty quick that they either need to tone down when opening their damage, or they need to attack the mob that I'm attacking.

You simply can't read.

Reposting this since it was an edit and probably wasn't noticed.

There's my answer for that oh-so-elusive "why" question.

Must be why they keep bringing it up. Much like you keep asking for answers you already have. Must be some strange sort of mod derived learning disorder...

So how hard is it to keep track of your aggro, and if you do get aggro... reduce it?

Fair enough. Sorry I missed it.

Well traditionally in MMOs, getting a feel for threat meant learning to play your class.

Anyway, everything about combat is currently invisible... no combat logs, etc so it's par for the course until BioWare changes their mind.

Looks like someone wasn't around during the bc times where intense fights required threat meters. What you just said works for this game though. Everything is just too easy.

see many of us that play TOR actually use to play mmos before spreadsheets, addons, and the like so idea of controling our aggro by knowing how many attacks to fire, or understanding when to stop attacking comes naturally. So better question is more... why do you feel need to have game reduced to bars and numbers rather then actually playing the game?

seriously as a former SM/ruin warlock of Vanilla WoW one crit string could pull aggro and was long before had aggro meters and recount...

In fact i have never needed an aggro meter i still don't use them in WoW when i played it, never used them in CoH/V or WAR or Aion ect...so why do you need to use them? OH because you want to spam attacks endlessly and never have to worry about pulling aggro because some bar tells you its ok...

way devs put it they dont want these kinds of addons in game, recount only lets people become more competitive but a threat meter literally makes the game easier.
