I really don't understand why they launched RotHC with so few flashpoints and with terrible loot. If you do not do the bonus boss you only get 1 piece of decent gear from the FP.(If it even drops for you.)

news flash, majority of the people you get in random pugs? they wear guild tags.

whether flashpoints are too hard or too easy or something in between depends on who's judging. but guild is not some magical fix to the difficulties someone might be having.
Playing with your guildmates changes the attitude. When in pugs, you may tend to find people to give less respect or decency to care about the rest of the group. It's the mentality that you being mean to strangers won't cost you anything. You may say being guilded or not with these people wouldn't make a difference. Based on experience, the chances are it does. I had a guild mate who played less recklessly when he knew I was in the same guild compared to a time when we were in a pug and I was on an alt which wasn't guilded yet.

Indeed. They game is worse than it was. It's so bad, I think I'm done. What a waste of time.

that is stupid. My guild sucks more than I do. Playing with a Pug gives me a better chance. Problem is the new HM FP's are geometrically harder then the original HM FP's. If you can even get a 55 Pug, which is almost impossible, you will wipe. The only place to get Elite Comms is in these FP's, so if you continue to wipe you never get them and never advance your gear past basic crap comms. Honestly, this game has become **** on rye, poor and lazy design and a game which will become quickly forgotten once others arrive.

Sorry to hear your bad experiences but the payout for me has been worth it in the last 2 weeks im only 2 pieces from full black market minus the offhand and main hand

hate to sound like an elitist but people need to learn to play these and not go into these with columni gear

I'm afraid there is such a word as 'learnt', it is just not widely used by Americans.

You might, however the word was still used incorrectly in its first instance.

Learnt is used as a past participle. Much as Show - Showed - Shown.

For instance, the sentence should have been constructed as "I'm using the same tactics I learned between levels 15-30" or "I'm using the same tactics I had learnt between levels 15-30".

That said, it's pretty much a dick move to correct someone's grammar over such a minor issue, particularly when you don't even actually know what you're talking about.

But, your ignorance notwithstanding, the purpose of language, and grammar, is still to communicate ideas clearly, and GuruVII did just that. As such, any corrections are unnecessary.

Grammar Nazi OUT.

learnt sounds like a slang word to me

Never read that word in any book. You may color it up as you see fit - you will still be just as wrong.

In any case, the new FP have me to the point Im probably cancelling anyhow. Didn't leave TSW because of 1 shot kill mechanics.... to turn around and see it has come here.

Every time they make a new fp/operation it is unbearably hard, and they nerf it later. But this still doesn't make it right. I shouldn't be left waiting for a nerf to even have a ghost of a chance to play content ALREADY PAID FOR~!!
