If this isn't fixed, I am done with ToR as an MMO. I'm sure I'll play the game as a single player game in playing the class quests, but I wont touch grouping as a tank anymore.
I just did a HM Directive 7 run with some fairly green players. This usually doesn't bother me. I have no problem instructing and teaching mechanics. 4 deaths later we finally beat the FP. Usually 4 deaths wouldn't bother me that much. However after a 53,000 credit repair bill, I'm pretty incensed to say the least.
I guess I could abandon using the group finder and doing PuGs, but that kind of defeats the whole point of the group finder now doesn't it.
Hopefully Bioware will see reason, and will address this....positively, not with further insults.
