That is my point. It's become the norm because players think that it's the ONLY way to complete it.

Ive led many PUG TFs, and I do it without putting unnecessarily elitist restrictions on players. But as I've said in other posts, I enjoy challenges (and running TFs that take longer than 36min). So I guess that means I CAN criticize all I want.

My issue is over time, those requests become the norm. When is the last time you saw a Tinpex NOT advertised as needing alpha unlocked? Or 4-star content NOT advertised as needing barrier? Sure, some leaders want to make the run smoother. Some leaders want it so that they can be carried. But I guarantee some advertise that way because they don't know any better. It sets an incorrect standard that players start to feel they MUST meet in order to player the higher level content. Not saying the OP, but some of the players who want this, are the same ones who also make requests to "dummy down" the game for newbies. How does that work? We are going to make things even easier on newbies, while at the same time make hard content even harder.....soooo that the newbies will never have the knowledge or skill to enjoy the harder content???

Oh great. Can't wait for "tinpex now forming. Must have alpha unlocked" (which is NOT needed) To turn into.... "Tinpex now forming. Must be plus 4. Must have barrier. Must have these powers. Cant be this type of AT. Must be 733T like meeee!!!" 🙄🙄🙄

Was that while trying to update, or just open Mids?

It's a wonder anyone still plays this game. I think every last AT and powerset has been declared "completely useless" at least once. 🤔

What if they made TTs activation time equal to mission Teleport? 🤔

Yeah, but this time it’s personal!

There are new/returning player - but I doubt it’s in the numbers or consistency that would warrant revamping the recipe system. Changing the system to make things easier for the 10 or so new players we get every couple weeks just makes no sense to me.

Firstly, I think it would be a lot of effort for very little benefit. More importantly, it doesn’t make sense (too me) to revamp anything to benefit/help new players when we just don’t seem to see a large influx of new players, on a consistent basis.

🤔 Seems like a lotta work for nothing.

The only way to 6 slot a lvl 49 power is by doing a respec once you hit level 50 With respec now, you pick all your powers first. Then you are given all your slots to place wherever you want. Unlike the process of powers, slots, power, slots as you level

I have never noticed this, but dammit I’m gonna pay attention from now on

Citadel is the one TF I actively avoid. The caves. The kill alls. The jumping around. The caves and lastly, the caves. I don’t even care about the stinking TF Commander accolade. It ain’t worth it, and it’s all because of Citadel!
