Because those of us complaining want it to be fun and not tediously boring?

And what about the people who like it the way it is?

And, yet again, personally I play a game to have fun. If I find a part of it "tediously boring" I skip that part. What's stopping you from not doing this quest after the 1 time you need to do it to complete the story?

Absolutely nothing. I don't find it nearly as tedious as some others seem to be, but I would like it to be more fun.

I find grouping tedious, so I skip that part. So I forever have the Oricon story sitting on my mission log as a result. *twirls finger*

I have suggested a way that could possibly make the fight less "tedious", and more fun (at least, to me). *shrugs* Apparently it was a stupid idea.

Or maybe they could just release an Enemy Within HM, like the Flashpoints. Then you still have your original fight exactly as it is, and then there would be a more interactive fight for others.

And you can still say " nah, not gonna run it."

It is only one sample, yes, it has been a while since I did the quest, but what I recall, I was pulling so much more aggro than Marr did (even when dropping it, but I am in 192/198 mixed gear), so I spent a good deal of time Choked or Knocked down.

However, I am in the same boat as LyraineAlei, I do not mind the quest, but I would love to see it more "lively". I think that adding some more mechanics to it would make it more fun, and it wouldn't need to increase the difficulty in any major way.

But, at least thanks to this thread, I learned it can be safely AFKed, good to know when I will be bringing another character through SoR. Also, I do not think that this thread will lead to any changes in the fight itself, but it could show BW that while SOLO option for story is awesome, it should at least try to be fun.

I think if they merge the final battle of TOS with the solo fight, it would provide a longer experience for those who are wanting it in this thread.

I think Bioware should write the story so that the players whine Vitiate to death.

It would make the most sense.

So then we can assume you never do it after the one time, right?

Slightly OT, but I would love the option to talk Vitiate or any of the new "bad guys" into self destructing, I love that option in games that provide it (like Fallouts)

Seconded, that would be hi-la-rious.
