OK this is getting rather silly regarding hard mode Flashpoint GF

But tactical FP's are boring as all hell. Each and every one of them is mindnumbingly stupid and easy.

What happened is the Friends List being character-based instead of account (legacy) based. Current implementation of the Friends List leaves a lot to be desired. Had it been implemented on a legacy-wide level, people would use much, much more.
That's exactly what happenned.

HM FPs and SM ops are just way to boring for me, that's the reason I don't PuG them anymore.

When I get a new char to lvl 55 I can just skip the HM FPs and jump right into the ops (because of Oricon and legacybound gear)

PS: Every dps complaining about there not being enough healers/tanks should consider trying these roles himself, they're really fun in group content (and you get faster invites )

GW2 has a trinity:
support, control, damage

but the lines are blurry and you can have a bit of everything in your spec/gear or you can go full into one role.
the sad part is that for most of the PvE content the damage (zerk) role is miles ahead of the other two, so fast/clean clears are only really achieved with a full zerker group

Be the change you wish to see in the world... er, game.

I don't feel that way, but to be fair I would point out that I am not an end-game gamer. I consider myself casual, and rarely if ever raid. However, tacticals have had me raiding on a regular basis (if it can be called raiding naturally).

I think tacticals are aimed at a more casual group of folks.

Oh, I am not saying that GW2 solution is good. I am just saying that this "problem" isn't in GW2 because it doesn't use the trinity to begin with.

GW2 does not use the trinity (healers, tanks, and dps)

Basically everyone in GW2 is a DPS. Some players can heal themselves.

For all the talk of derpy DPS destroying group finder for the poor, unappreciated tanks and healers - the actual problem is this sentiment ^ Might not matter in the content you get into via group finder because its so faceroll easy, but then look at all of the ppl having problems with HMFP and sm ops clicking taunts or their heals and wondering why they're being utterly useless, and then deciding it has to be every one else's fault because it couldn't possibly be them. Leeching off of people who actually know what they're doing, and then attacking them when you make a mistake is the sign of a team player, is it?

Same here, bad players, or bad behavior ? i tell twice at max....no one listening, i simply leave and get a new grp instant.

but the OP is right, tanking is no real fun in swtor. to many buttons to low control of adds. the problem is with stupid dds pulling or getting aggro, with a bunch of mopbs they will ran away....u cant get all back before they raped...normally the heal.

i dont waste m time in bad groups....and i ignore all bad players i meet

Lol....

As you watch your health drop slowly down to 0% because you boosted to 800 meters away from your healer & he has no chance of getting within range, much less getting a heal off before you died.

I am of the opposite opinion. I loathe tactical flash points & see them as a detriment to the game as a whole. We have a whole generation of players birthed from KDY that have not clue 1 of how to play their class in a real team setting. I further believe that many of these "KDY Grads" are the folks being described here as the people making good tanks stay the hell away from group finder.
