They are selfish in that they have chosen an AT that people invite to teams for their support aspects, and then they choose to not utilize those support aspects.

Play your toon how you want, build how you want.

Don't cry when you get kicked from teams because you thought it would be OK to ask 7 other people to pull your weight for you and they'd rather have some one who has a better team-mindset.

Selfishness is when you choose what you want, what you think is fun, over the benefit of the group.

If you don't want to do that, then at least say, "Sorry, I thought you had mind link. We really need that." and kick them. That's like a tank that doesn't know you want them to go first if you have a team of blasters. Sometimes people just have to be told and they will try to fix things, if they don't know. Sometimes, they did it on purpose and you can say, "Man, you are gonna miss out on some rocking teams if you don't have pets or "x" power.

I'm pretty experienced and I still didn't think of the benefit of tough on my willpower tank until I got to higher levels. That little resistance goes a long way when you have hitpoints flowing in to back it up. Little things like that people don't consider. They may look at it and think that 6% is not a lot of defense for a toggle. But 6% on top of 20-30 is a ton. They may have endurance issues because they just want to max out damage or have 3 accuracies in something. Give them just half a chance so you can help make them better so, someone else does not get stuck with them and PuGs in general will slowly get better.

Of course this is all my opinion, and if your team works without them, it's your right as leader to do as you may.

Since it's been announced that GR will be released on August 17th we can "guess" that there will be at least a 3-4 week open beta. Maybe more, maybe less. I would be surprised if it was 2 weeks or less, but we'll know better once it starts.

So given that supposition you could "guesstimate" that open beta would start no sooner then July 20th and probably more likely July 27th. Who knows they could start open beta later on August 3rd for all I know.

The dates suggested are based on the Dev's propensity for doing releases on Tuesdays.

So in the end you'll probably find out about Kinetic Melee no later then the beginning of open beta sometime this summer, unless they change their minds and not release Kinetic Melee for some strange bizarre reason.
