Oh yeah huttball is rough :-( Again I end up shielding the ball carrier(giggity) and taunting whoever attacks him. The medals often roll in pretty quick. But if you actually spec dps I can imagine it's pretty difficult to get anything done.

I appreciate your graphic OP, very well put. Allow my to offer an alternative solution. You're a guardian not melee dps. Drop guard on a healer or a ranged or anyone really that's getting focused by more than one enemy. taunt the **** out of the enemy melee so they do less damage to your friends, and you get valor at the same time. Use your AoE slow with impunity so your melee can stick and move. I know we all want to get kills, but this game is kind enough to reward the above actions in warzones, so I do it. There's been plenty of times where I'm one of only 2 people with any protection rating in a warzone, and that seems silly. It's a team game, remember remember. That's my 2 cents. Keep in mind my highest character is only a 26 Sith Warrior so I am by no means an expert, these are my observations thus far.

Other TL;DR version: Epeen is important to me and if it's taken away I have very little to be proud of. I agree with you OP and I have a solution. Just prior to nerving content, Bioware should place a gigantic ***** icon over each character that cleared the content already (Display optional of course for those of us that have cleared the content but feel no need at all to show it off). That way when people see you they can immediately identify you as a person with incredibly fragile self-esteem who hides behind a thin veil of ultra-confidence. Also: /me casually directs all this WoW discussion to blizzard's forums where people might still care about that game's content. </sarcasm>

Human 3, duh.

I would love the option to play on Mac OS X. At home I have a PC for gaming, but at the office we're all Mac and my lunch breaks get mighty lonely. /signed
