Getting tired of being kicked from Flashpoints...

If you are getting bored of only healing, why not just DPS while there isn't anything to do? I main an operative healer, and when you get to be grossly overgeared for FPs, you become able to heal the tank through most adds damage by just kolto probes and surgical probes. Instead of pulling mobs and potentially angering the rest of the group, I just simply dps along with them. No diagnostic scan necessary.

You take over the tank's job ("im pulling everything and i mean EVERYTHING") because you are bored, and then you are surprised that the tank initiates a vote to kick you?

Ever think that people who take on the often high-stress and thankless role of tank may do it because they like to tank? And that if you rob them of their fun, why might want to kick you?

If you want to be a tank in FPs, my advice is that you roll a tank and queue. Problem solved.

All I read is that you don't understand the role of a tank. I am guessing you've never been one.

Starting the fight is a key part of the tanking arts. It can be complicated, especially when multiple mobs are involved. You think you are doing the tank a favor by dropping a jumbled parade of mobs in his lap? The tank may not agree.

Again: if you want to be the tank and control the flow through the FP, I suggest you roll a tank and queue.
Or you can just get used to being kicked and stop QQing about it here in the forums.
You may not have noticed, but sympathy is not what you are mainly getting here.

Didn't read the whole thread, but I caught the jist. My two cents:

Honestly, if I was in a flashpoint with someone who said, "Can you aggro a lot of mobs? I get bored spamming diagnostic scan. If not, I can just leave," I would start the flashpoint already annoyed with that player. Why? Because it looks pretentious. Maybe you're not trying to be pretentious. Maybe you're genuinely bored and you want a little more excitement. But over a keyboard, there is no way to tell if someone's genuinely offering to let you choose someone who fits more with your playstyle or if they're just going, "Fine, I'll take my awesomeness elsewhere."

So your message, even if sincere, is easily read wrongly, as a pretentious I'm-so-awesome-I-can-heal-you-all-in-my-sleep-and-if-you-don't-like-it-I'll-go-find-a-real-challenge. Then, it seems from your posts that you run ahead of the tank and pull extra mobs, knowing that you can handle it and there's no way to avoid them. What does the rest of the group see? An already pretentious healer, now deciding to play tank, too, because he's just that awesome. Some people won't care. Others will not bother to mention what they see as a horrible attitude because they're already super annoyed. So, finally, they just kick you because they'd rather queue for another healer than put up with your apparent ego complex.

If I ran a flashpoint with you the way you say you run them (again, not knowing anything about you other than what you write in the game chat), I would finish the flashpoint and then promptly ignore you.

Am I saying you're a pretentious player with a huge ego? Not necessarily. I've healed flashpoints before and sometimes it can get downright dull. You may be just trying to be helpful and make things more challenging. But before you write your little disclaimer, think about how people who can't see your face or hear your voice might read what you're saying. It may save you a few kicks in the future.

It may be worth noting that the OP is someone who has admitted to deliberately exploiting Phase Walk in PvP.
