Maybe Beau should poll all the other guilds you applied to and got rejected

Yo I just checked. Strongholds don't have a NiM difficulty xD I didn't bother reading the rest of the post...not worth it

nobody likes you =)

who are you? honestly though...it wasn't even a race

Hey Europe? Yea our friend NAM needs a leg to stand on

lulz "how does prioritize even work?" you're right friend, it takes months of "practice" to figure that one out =)

I think you're confusing testing with practice. We didn't practice anything friend =)

...did you just use progression and Brontes in the same sentence? o0

Since you brought it up...maybe the euros should play your accounts. It's the only way NAM is ever gunna set records xD

I'm assuming you mean't to say "For me...the main attraction was the heavy story focus". Otherwise, I would not say the "main attraction" was the heavy story focus. Especially considering Jeff just got done saying they're redirecting focus on story... Not saying it's not a good deal. But this game launched as an MMO. Subscribers have been paying for an MMO for years now. It's a hard pill to swallow to find out after 4+ years it was all just to fund a single player RPG. At my core, I'm a progression raider and while FFXIV has good graphics, the raids did not look entirely interesting. Maybe Heavensward will change my mind on that. Thanks for the suggestion! I played WoW from Vanilla-MOP and briefly checked out WoD. For me, WoW died shortly after the release of LFR. Don't get me wrong. I was sufficiently hyped about the story and the trailer was probably the best I've ever seen. I fully intend to check out the story, which honestly shouldn't take more than a week or two. But beyond that, I don't see the subscription cost worth it to keep me in the game for longer than a month. That's where Flashpoints, Raids, Warzones and Arenas are supposed to come in =)

I think you missed that part about playing MMOs ^_^

I play MMOs so I don't have to go out every week and spend $60 on a new RPG

So if I understand this right, Bioware is charging $14.99/month for a single-player RPG? EDIT: Revised the question to reflect that no guns were pointed at my head...

Like I said. New players will benefit from the HM flashpoints up to a certain point. Once they've outgrown the HM flashpoints, there is no reason to queue other than possibly looting the walker mount for personal use or to sell. Same thing for top tier players. I personally don't queue for HM Flashpoints as comm gear is inferior and I could grab 198 token gear much easier through a guild run

The system itself works. The REAL problem is there really isn't any reason to queue for Flashpoints. Sure, new players will get some gear out of group finder but once they run a couple of operations, even better if they run on multiple toons and legacy the gear over to their main, flashpoints become obsolete.
