This proves my point a little more, though that's not what you wanted to do. In that job, they'd have a boss/manager/supervisor (ie, Raid Leader) watching said employees, and if Bob wasn't doing his job, or was slacking that bad, his *** would be gone.

In that "other" game, I was tank since it started. And aside from having to watch just a few cooldowns (I only used 2 or 3 addons in that other game, and none had anything to do with combat). If you learn other classes, you get a feeling for what they're doing, and when they're doing it. If you just see auto-attack going off, you know they're not doing much. If you see certain animations, and know what their visual is, you can gauge quite well how they're doing. I had a few who didn't believe me, and ran damage meters a few times, and at the end of the fight, based on gear and animations, you can tell who's pulling their weight, and who's not. Damage meters when they first came out in WoW were a good thing. It WAS a way to see who was pulling their weight (Still didn't use them), but sometime after BC came out, it wasn't to gauge who was pulling their weight, but it was nothing more then a way for people to "show off their e-peen." Which wasn't a good thing. You had people ignoring basic mechanics of fights, pulling things they shouldn't, and breaking CC just to get their dps and overall damage up high. DPS meters at one point were useful yet, but anymore, even in this game, are nothing more then another way for people to play stupid. Case in point, though not raid or ops, warzones are a good example. You have people just fighting in the middle of nowhere, not defending nodes or attacking the huttball carrier. Just so their damage is highest at the end. Anything that'll show off overall damage or dps, hurts the group more then it'll help it.

No, just no. You don't need them to progress further in raids. I ran a successful raiding guild in WoW, and we didn't run damage meters. A good raid leader can tell who's pulling their weight, without them.

And did anyone else notice, if it's new, the holonet terminal that's in the inner ring of the fleet (At least Republic side)? It's not clickable, but when mouse over it just says "Holonet".

No thanks. Reason; In that other major MMO out there, there were a lot of people who absolutely HATED auction parts of the auction house (Yeah, I know...) Me, included. Usually when you go to the auction house/GTN for something, you usually need it right then and there, and having to wait up to 48 hours to get it (If someone forgets or just doesn't put a buyout price) really sucks, especially if that's the only one of that item in there at the time. There's nothing wrong with the GTN as it is, save for a few minor changes maybe, but otherwise works just fine.

I was out doing my dailies. As a tank I can do all the 2 man dailies, they just take awhile to do. So I got to thinking, and game up with a new legacy perk. Emergency Distress Beacon: Basically, it would call all your companions to you to aid you for, say 5 mins or so. It wouldn't be able to be used in pvp of course. And the cooldown would be rather long. Say 12 hours, even maybe 24 hours or so.

Why with this game does everyone think they're privileged so much so that they think they deserve to be told everything that's going on? None of us are. We'll get information when we get it, and when they're ready to share. Just deal with it.

Because they seemed to have forgotten this generation is all full of ADD people.

It is a good idea, but wrong section of the forums. Post it in the "Suggestion" forums, located at the top of the General discussion.

But I q up, and it takes like 4 to 5 minutes to find a group? Come on, fix it now, it takes too long. Yeah, I see this complaint A LOT! As a tank, I'll tell you why it takes so long, DPS are generally stupid/retarded, and 80% of them are Marauder.

If they said something in chat, right clicking their name will give you the option to report them. That sends all chat logs to the reps to look over. It basically does do everything you said, you just don't see it being sent. As for the guy above me, ignore him. He's not too bright.

After seeing this is your third post about pretty much the same thing, I'm starting to think your misunderstanding of the reps within the game is entirely you. IF you really need to get a hold of someone that high up the Rep chain, I'd suggest calling the 800 number they have.

Are you sure the misunderstanding wasn't on your part? I've put in many help requests, and to this date, have yet to get one that response or conversation where I didn't understand what they were talking about or meant.

Less people whining about every little thing.

I would be leary of the site a little. Have you heard of the place before? Either way, check http://www.bbb.org/ to see if they're a legit company, and if they have any negative feedback reported to the BBB.
