Private Instances needed for Fleet-Actions and Defend-Missions

Cryptic, I see a really big problem with the current game design. It's atm not really possible to play with friends in a group or a fleet because there are no private instances. I really would like it to ask in local chat "looking for a healer, tank and dps for doing instance x". Means to try out how different type of ships have to work together to have fun and get loot which is shared fair.

Instead we have the situation that hordes of selfish dps fanatics just enter the open instances, blast like mad without chatting, grouping or whatever makes a good MMOG. It's a brainless clay pigeon shooting.

It's up to you, Cryptic, what you make with this basically great game: a mayfly or a fantastic MMOG which stay for many years and make you rich. Please make something good and I think the first absolutely necessary step is to stop this clay pigeon shooting, introduce private instances and make it later impossible for the dps fixed horde to gain anything meaningful by simply flood an instance only with escorts who get all presented on a silvertablet what ruins the game-health very fast.

    This games already in big trouble, but I do agree you bring up a good issue. I find the fleet encounters anything but group friendly. There are some critical issues with this game, the fact that end game content does not exist, ground combat is below average at best and space combat is already getting annoyingly repetitive. If there is not a huge content patch within next few weeks they are gonna lose a ton of subs.

    Private instances would be a good idea for fleets. For sure. Id love to also see Fleet Episodes where you and your fleet or team can go on about a series of episodes together.

    I want to see your side but I dont get it. How could it be exploited ? They arent saying they would be the only ones who can do the mission, just that they want one instance to their fleet to do it as a group rather than be split up or have to share an instance. Nothing wrong with that.

    Before lasts nights moderator harassment, this was my number one issue keeping me away. Before last night, fixing this would have guaranteed my renewal. The grieving in fleet action has got to end in order to make it a viable play option. There is no point in doing it when your efforts are ruined by people who bend the system.

    Fleet encounters are really a joke at all levels, even borg fleet encounters are nothing more then a feeding frenzy.
