So I just had to share this,not from group finder..but still thought it would be good for a laugh:
I have recently come back to the game, and unfortunately the small guild of friends I ran with had stopped playing the game. So using the Double XP weekends I got my Merc up to 55 and figured eh what the hell I will do the lower end flash points later as I run Makeb and get use to playing him again.
So finally, I get almost a complete set of Basic gear and decided to go knock out False Emperor(normal mode). I get down to Ilum and and see a group forming, so I ask to join and get grouped with 2 guild members:a level 55 Sorc healer in full ultimate gear and a PT tank in gear decent gear, mostly the vendor stuff you get when just getting to 50. They explain this is the tanks first run through and she is new to tanking, done a few flashpoints but not enough to feel completely comfortable. I have no problem with and explain I am in the same boat...never done the Flash point either so will be fun to learn all together. they are nice as can be...and then our problem child shows up.
We decided to grab another who wanted to come for an easy run..with two level 55's and a healer way over geared it should be simple. So we get a sniper who wants to come along..I check his gear for the hell of it and see it is a mix of level 48 and 49 blues and greens. Well..any other day I would say we may have a problem, but with the group we have I figured what the hell. So the Sorc asked if the Sniper has done the flashpoint before, he says yes. Sorc explains that the tank and I have not and he will be explaining stuff as we go so the run may be a little longer, but not to bad..but all in all a easy run. Sniper says not a problem and runs into to start the flash point. So now the fun starts...
1) We get to Tregg and as the healer is explaining where the tank should stand the sniper goes running in and starts the fight. We all go *** and go to run after him..and the sniper positioned himself right on the edge of the bridge and off he went. We manage to get Tregg down with little effort but not how we wanted to start. Sniper comes back and we tell him not to go running ahead and starting fights until we are ready. No a word is said from him...
2) Surprisingly Jindo went well, mostly because the healer was making sure the starship missiles were not a problem.
3) A-14 and B-16...oh dear lord. The sniper for the life of us would not stop attacking the shielded droid...we kept saying in group to leave it alone and focus on the one that is not glowing blue. His response was "This is a trick, If you keep DPS on the shielded droid it will weaken it when the shield does drop.". Ummm...Okay....I just face palm and we knock out the droids. I did not see a difference in health from the his efforts on the shielded droid...neither did the others. I asked to confirm...I think I made him mad by doubting.
4) HK-51- Apparently he did not know that you can move from out of the way of the little red circles. Eventually the healer said screw it and just let the guy die after we explained twice to keep moving. We finish of HK and the sniper is going off on us in chat. He first starts with the Tank, that she is useless as a tank as she would not keep the random mobs around off him(talking about the the silvers and such when she was focused on the gold in front of her for the smalls mobs)and that the bosses still got shots on him. that there is no way he should have taken any damage if we had a good tank. Then he turns his attention to me..stating that I am doing way to much damage and I should have put on lesser gear to make up for the fact I am so high up, and that I should not even be there with them. Then comes the healer saying he should have done more to keep him alive and work on his healing skills. Yes, cause the two times you died were the healers fault...ok one was, but the first time not his fault and you were kinda at fault for the second for not moving out of the red circles. We never went below 90% health at anytime during the flash point.
The sniper finishes his rant with we are all trash and he is putting us all on his ignore list, and he will make sure all his friends do the same, All we say is "bye" and he rage quits. We carry on with the flash point finishing it with no further problems. I have done a few low level flash points to help people out..this was the first time I have ever been yelled at for being over geared and over leveled for a flash point from a person who knew this group was there to help newer players get use to the flash point and get a better handle on tanking.
