We tried twice and got the same behavior. Also, the current operation is Colossal Monolith, and it teleported us to Hive of the Mountain Queen. The second time it took us to Monolith.

Groupfinder sets op difficulty to 16 man story mode. Also, the first time we queued (for the daily, which is Monolith today) we were put in Hive Queen.

Someone else asked this earlier, but I think it's worth bringing up again. If this is a quest everyone will want to be doing, you need to really consider the respawn. Even for the conquest world bosses, they are often respawn camped.

There's updated Known Issues on the PTS forum now. It looks like the commendations for ranked arena wins will be ranked comms, but they're broken right now. So looks like Bioware is trying to incentivize both ranked (comm rewards) and unranked (daily/weekly rewards).

I'm 54 now, but as long as I can get to 55 by tonight, I'm in to heal or DPS. (I can't play Thursday night)

See entry #3 in the sticky in the Customer Service forum. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=480756 It looks like the workaround is to leave guild and rejoin, and things will be back to normal.
