Even then, enhancements, and many other aspects of the game are explained again by Ms. Liberty or whatever trainer you use for your first couple of levels. The information is not hidden for those not too lazy to read it.

Squishiness and taking aggro has nothing to do with each other. But /agreed on both.

What I mean is that it bothers me when scrappers take the aggro and survive and then the tankers jumps in and takes aggro and then dies. I guess that is still better than the tanks that refuse to run in first though and wait for the controller to attack O.o

Especially if some solicitations are sent to people with a "looking for any" flag up or their comment says they enjoy teaming or to that effect.
The silence that can occur after numerous requests, not more than one to the same person mind you, is relentless.
A simple 'no ty' would suffice.

I always reply to tells, but rarely, when I can't help, do I get a reply back.

PP = People who call themselves "defenders" who makes a "whine threads", fishing for sympathy and praise from other defenders.....
PP = When your reputation get downrated by these "whine thread"-posting "defenders" and their n00b-@ss sympathizers because you call them out for who and what they are......
PP = When these defender n00bs talk like they know more about defender play, though either....
1) this is their first attempt being a def when they got a zillion other pl'd 50's
2) the concept of being a "dynamic" defender is lost in their traditional-minded brain
3) thought that being a buff bot was a neato idea at first, when really it sux afterall lol
4) still whines when you slam good information onto their forehead (but usually they quiet down after ramrodding a def video or two down their throat....)
5) they get mad at you for calling them a n00b, though their thread is about information easily garnished from reading the defender forums, if they just bothered to.....
been a dedicated defender for the past 3 years and still surprised all the whining and complaining these suckers still making.... why dont these punks just move on to other AT's already?
(crap just made a whine post!)
People who Take fly, and constantly ask for TP.
Mission SE corner in Talos, next one is at the Train. User asked if he could get TP'ed there.
another one. Mission is up and asking where he needs to go after we are half way done and leader ask him if he was going to join us.

Nothing saids its your spot like an ourob. Portal dropped on the ground.
people who leave neg rep without leaving a reason or a name. (Of course the new posting rules might eliminate some of the trolling.)
people at conventions who don't have hiphop on their computers. (wait, that's iltat's PP.)

People that think HeroCon is the shizz... (there may be some jealousy in this )
People that believe just because they had to walk through fire and glass and bees to get something, so must you...

As for the game, eh, there's a lot of things. I just /kick and it fixes everything though.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.
It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.
People who feel the need to inform everyone about every milestone they achieve with their toons with the expectation that everyone should praise them. Repeatedly, for years.

So griefers are actually being sad over something? i mean since grievers are grieving and griefer is a misspelling of griever, then a griefer is the victim of some misfortune or other unpleasantness, not the cause, just like a griever. Which means most people are using it wrong, since they use it to refer to those who cause misfortune, not those who suffer it.|

So what is the proper term for someone who causes misfortune and happiness for others since it's not griefer?

Exploding mission objectives.
WTF!
However, when it came to this game, I most certainly did not skip the tutorial. It was my first ever MMO and I had no basis for comparison or means by which to determine what I should expect and how my character would play.
