Edit: Really more to the point, I have a core of players I can normally depend on for excellent play. We aren't in a SG together, but we sort of act like one, based around a global channel instead. We spend most every evening running TFs together, and we generally try to run them as fast as possible. Even so, we almost never try to tune what people bring on the team. About the most effort we apply to that is to say things like "hmm, too much melee" or "not enough debuffs", at which point someone usually switches to whatever we're lacking. Sometimes we just say "screw it" and run it with whatever. My favorite outcome for the latter: 26 minute Apex with seven melees and one Elec/Psi Dom. |
It's in my signature, I play on Freedom.
Like UberGuy I too have a base of friends I usually TF with. We're not in a SG, but we're grouped in a global channel where we usually communicate. However, I often PuG for members for my TFs because I'm on an EST+7 time zone which means my "prime time" is not everyone else's. Which means the amount of my friends that are online usually aren't enough to fill in the whole 8 member team. Or maybe they're just busy with something else. I've rarely had problems filling in an Apex or Tin Mage unless I'm trying to do one at like 5-6 AM EST.. at which point the server is dead anyways.
Between "Freedom TF", and "Freedom" global channels you really don't need many other channels. Although I do have 3 more private channels that I belong to where I can also fish for members. I think it also helps that I'm not picky with my teams. I usually just have people bring whatever they want the merits/badge/shards/toon they feel like playing and roll with that. If the team *really* lacked something I'm most often the person who switches to fill in the gap.

@Wavicle, mostly on the Justice server.
I can confirm on guardian server Tin mage and alot of TFs are done. The things that are not done alot are the Sewer Trial and the first Trial in the Hollows. Also Shadow Shard TFs are not done alot...nor is Citadel's Task Force(poor robot he is probbaly lonesome)
Tin Mage and Appex are done about as much as the Task Forces from Oroboros in my opinion......its not a super huge amount abut its alot more then some things.
Strike Forces seam to be done alot less on Guardian...i assume due to lower villain player numbers. I.e. They are probably all too busy playing heroes and doing the Task Forces onthe hero side.
The times i find i have time are in the late evenings on weekdays....day time on saturday and random times sunday....but i always see task forces and things happening.
Might also be due to the channels i am part of....becasue the people on those channels are very active....and you have to be quick sometimes or else you miss out on Task Forces becasue they fill up.
All in all i would say the low level Task forces are not done too much becasue well...they are long...low level and dont give shards....and the Shadow Shard ones are not done much becasue they are super long.....and the Trials i mentioned i dont think are done too much becasue again they not only dont give shards but the sewer trial takes more team work and thinking then many people want to give.....and the other trial is becasue well people dont unlock it....and again takes some team work....
I noticed if the Trials or Task forces require simul clicks or team work to do things....people first say onthe forums how great they are...then people dont do them as much...
By the way...sorry for all the text.
