Why the crappy WTF selection?

I'm pretty sure it's completely random/rng. It would explain why respec trials come up so often because they're 3 entries in the "hat".

Respec trials didn't start coming up so often until Freedom hit. I think it's so the newer players who actually need respecs will have an easier time getting on one.
Even if it is random, which I doubt, they have changed the WST before. I don't see any reason to have Numina and Eden be WST two months in a row, and to have villains stuck with Ice Mistral four weeks out of two months.

That doesn't really make sense given the fact that the respecs are WSTs in level order, rather than random. (ie, they do the 24-33, then the 34-43, then the 44-50 and start over).|

I wish the respec was the WST more often. Treespecs for everyone forever!

To be fair, with Eden, last month when it was the WST I ran it several times and often was the only person on the team who had played it in recent memory, which is a shame given how awesome the map is. One of the more unique in the game, really.|

They certainly do have a real problem in that there aren't that many red task forces compared to blue, so you're going to get repeats if you're not posting up the co-ops.

Damn, I hope it's not random... that would suck. I'd prefer just have a strict schedule going through all available TFs/SFs. But a RNG would explain the repeat months.

That's grand when it's a villain, rogue or vigilante character. I write off the WST completely when it's the hero respec. I hate running that thing. It's boring.|

Honestly, I wish they would collapse the respecs into a single week, so you could run any one of them and get the credit. Treespecs are fine, but I gladly run ITF, LGTF, Apex, Tin Mage or Kahn. About the only level 50-eligable TF/SF I don't like to run is the Barracuda SF.

Does anyone know why January is almost an exact repeat of December's WTF schedule? Do the Devs hate us? Are they picking TFs are are not run as much (except for ITF)? The LGTF hasn't been a WTF since AUGUST! What gives?
