Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
I'm still kind of impressed that we managed to win the time challenge.

However, nerdy people like me make up our own numbers. I'm confident 2.38 stands as Death per minute record. I would be greatly pleased to proven wrong
You people are wrong on so many different levels....I love it!!!
Money earned, subscribers, all those statistics pale in comparison to deaths per minute.

After I play some Demon Summoning levels, I will have to finish my AE TF arc and then convince the Devs to give out 25 merits per run so people will play it!
Of course, I will be busy running +2 STFs and ITFs as well, so it could take a month. 
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.

Now I am not taking anything away from yer number. 2.38 deaths per minute is a fine accomplishment an' ya do a debt run proud Smurph.
But don't ya be thinking that fer one pieloving minute the good ol' JFS is gonna let the likes of your out death us
Also Smurphalicous, I am curious as ta what yer team settings were on. I would like ta make this challenge as equal as possible.
So somehow I saw the picture and my mind made the 282 deaths look like 28:2(0). And so I thought you did the ITF in 28 mins. 20 secs. Then I looked harder...ooooh

This is so hardcore in-game geeky that I have zero idea what the fuss is about.

Surprisingly, it is actually difficult to have players defeated that many times and actually succeed on a Task Force in a respectable amount of time.
Give it a try. Run a Task Force or any mission with a few friends. Count how many defeats you get and how long you played. Task Forces allow you to set Defeat and Time limits which record the time and deaths for you automatically.
Is my assumption that you were doing this at +4 difficulty correct?
It was at +2/x8, players debuffed, enemies buffed.

That's good sarcasm (and I'm not being sarcastic).
That, then, is the challenge:
+2/x8, Players Debuffed, Enemies Buffed, ITF must be completed in under 2 hours - who gets the most Deaths Per Minute (DPM)?
Let the good times roll...
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

*EDIT* A big "OH YEAH" and thank you to the Devs for giving me my crack back. I forgot to mention the important things when I first posted. A little excited at the moment -- been waiting for this moment for 6? 7? 8? months.
*DOUBLE EDIT* Would it have been more appropriate to say "proof that the BOTZ nerf went too far" ? Some people might not have gotten the sarcasm
