Okay, not that I want to be flamed or anything (I also agree that SR sets deserve some lovin'), but doesn't this necessarily mean that a person is exposed to the same amount of risk (up to +5 levels) for increasing reward (up to +5 levels)?

Doesn't this contradict the idea of reward scaling with risk?

Haha, didn't even try

I consider myself a pretty polite guy, so when someone accuses me of some breach of etiquette, I don't take too kindly to it. Part of the problem this time was I just didn't like the way I was told to stop (team window rather than private tell; an order rather than a request; no explanation until I asked why).

That and, as I said above, I think it's a bogus rule. The most compelling reason, I thought, was this bug, which in 1.5 years, I hope would've been fixed. Honestly, in all the time I've played (grabbing other people's blinkies as it were), I've never had a mission or TF derailed. If anything, it was a frustrating 10-20 minute search for a missing blinkie that was bothering my team.

Well, I'm not sure about discontinued storyarcs. However, the friends that I play with on a regular basis have made it proper "etiquette" to always make sure that the person who's mission we are running is the person to retrieve all clues. That way there is never the chance for misunderstandings and as long as there is an equallity in who's missions are being done- everyone gets a chance to get their rewards.
Just a thought that may help other teams out as well.

I had this same etiquette problem a few days ago. My own feelings are that a team mission is for a team. I may be handicapping my character, but that's one of the reasons I never care about whose missions we do (as long as they're appropriate to the team). And that's why, when there's a blinky, not only do I not care who gets it, I think whoever finds it should grab it (as long as it's not in the middle of a battle) so as to help speed things along.

So has this game progress bug been fixed? It has been a year and a half since the thread was posted...

As far as I go, I think I've had this problem twice now. Once with some real life friends (they preferred this "etiquette"), and this second time a few days ago. How many people even care about this?
