I think its just Purveyors way of getting us to post a screen shot of video for BW... in all intents and purposes actually the best way to get the Dev's to actually fix the issue.

He may be a bit rash but at least hes logical =p +1 to purveyor

Can better players deal with it? Of course, this isn't our first rodeo. Does a new healer know how to do the work arounds? Doubtful, most of them havn't had experience with the friendly target cycle. I know this because they also complain about a lack of "target the target" button..... They don't know its something you have to bind yourself, for me its "x"

And for those who dont know WHY they need a "target the target" button, its especially crucial for interrupts and focus fire
How is it game breaking, If there is a workaround? Its not my (or BW's) fault some people are too stupid/lazy to use this workaround until BW fixes this problem.

Target on Target would be nice, but its just icing on the cake. Yeesh what would half of you do in the early days of MMO, I shudder to even think.

Yes, thank you for understanding, RJ.

I'm not trying to stop BW from fixing this problem. I'm just getting a little tired of all the constant QQ about everything. Somethings take priority over others, and if you want this to be BW's priority then prove to them how it is game breaking for 99.99999% of healers, like almost everyone is making it out to be.

Constantly posting QQ threads about how this and that are broken, isn't going to make BW work on it any faster. I mean if this was such a glaringly game breaking bug, then they would've fixed it pre-launch.

If a lot of you think it is game breaking then prove it to BW so they can expedite the fix on the next patch.

Simple as that.

I've been posting extensive bug reports about the issue, and hope others done the same.
It HAS been a lot better with the latest patch although it wasn't addressed in the patch notes, so I am hoping it is fixed for everybody and not just me and a few others.

I doubt the raid frame bug was on it's own, it was most likely tied to something else and as we all know, but might not agree with; less information to the players is better. Especially since a few people reported this bug in PvE as well, you never know if there was something tied to it that could be exploited.

I did look through a few youtube videos but I couldn't find anyone with the issue, for all of you that doesn't have it, do a huge, collective PHEW!. It could definitely be worked around, but gawd, how annoying it was!

I see his point with a photo/video proof, although I do not agree with how he presented it. Personal insults are never a good way to address people. And yes, I am very well aware that this is a forum.
But there's always hope.

Point taken.

So you are saying it is game breaking to the extremely casual player who doesn't want to take the time to learn the ins and outs of this MMO. Fair enough. I guess if that is the player base EA wants, then they should strive to have a care bear MMO. I hope it doesn't get hand-holdingly bad, but you can't please everyone.

Just about... You can tell the "care-bear" aspect from those crying for bracketed pvp. And I've got report of objective swapping on Ilium PVP -- Reps letting Imps take the point then the Imps letting the Reps take it back just to finish the dailies/weeklies. Seems a lot of players are more interested in the rewards and welfare epics than actual game play.

Need more dailies and weeklies concerned with slaying the opposite faction as opposed to capturing objectives. I fear BW thinks this will encourage camping and what-not but I personally don't think that it will.

NEED MORE OWPVP and LESS Instanced PVP "IPVP"

Based on the QQ threads you can see what people think and how they are satisfied which leads to future of this game. I remember lot of games where initial pretty good launch was the only thing what was great in the game and future was very bad for the game itself.
As for SWTOR, my opinion = not PVP game. Sorry but no. Too much small things that really disturb you like lags, not working mechanic, clases who are allowed to be stealthed and still interupt or just run out of fight and hide in stealth whenever they want, too much cc that has almost no limit and you dont need to be genius or think about any strategy. Everything you need to do, is time your cc, focus fire = death. No chance of defense in case you facing this make it also pretty bad. No rewards and motivation for fights in open world.. why the hell we should be there?? give me one reason.. and finally no compettetive scene.. just random warzones, random enemy. Not, this is not PVP game, is great in PVE, but far away from PVP.

I understand they have OWPvP on PvP servers once you get to neutral worlds, there are just no rewards for OWPvP (minus Illum) other than the self satisfaction of ganking someone.

I can already envision another QQ thread entitled, "Not enough PvP rewards for ganking players on Nar Shaddaa when I'm L50"

Yes, They should work on PvP tho. I think BW stated that's what they plan to focus on moving forward w/ content updates.

The only problem I have run into on my healer is I sit there healing away at my teammates and they all love me for it, but the minute one of the other team's dps targets me I can't get anyone to come to my rescue.

Getting targeted is a risk you take when playing a healer in warzones, but I would kill for just one time for one of my teammates that i just kept alive with 2-3 guys beating on him would come peel the guy off me instead of running away.
