The current very rare Endeavor for 8000 is playing one of the Competitive TFOs and NO ONE is playing them. WHY? = /

Also... you gotta wait for 10 people, since its a 5v5.
That's not an excuse! Who cares about the Random System?

The Personal Endeavors are not the same for everyone. I think mine was shield healing in space today. The Competitive TFOs are not very popular, and I strongly suspect most would re-roll if it came up for their Personal Endeavors and they had the token.
As for the mention of Random Task Force Operations (RTFO), if Competitive TFOs were in the RTFO system, you'd likely be able to get into the TFO fairly quickly, by the system filling the TFO with people that were looking for the extra rewards that the RTFO provides. Without RTFO, you have to wait for people to actually desire to play the TFO you're looking to play without extra bribes... A tall order for a 10 player un-popular TFO.
That sucks. What if new people have to play these TFOs to advance in the Reputations' and get gear?

They probably play RTFOs, Starbase 1 or special events instead to get the Marks, as those give Marks of all types, and you can convert 100 Marks to an Elite Mark once a day.
The Elite Marks are a pain being limited to one per day, so I usually start converting up as soon as feasible while leveling up the Rep to where I hit what I need minus four, giving the option to have a Elite Mark drop from the Daily boxes or getting the last one I need after hitting the needed Tier, and hitting Tier 5 nets you 3 Elite Marks.

I dropped a suggestion about reducing the number needed to complete the endeavor. But, then, re-roll tokens are a thing, even though they're fairly rare, I've only received two of them. I'm going to hang on to at least one, in case this comes up again. Of course, my first re-roll token actually came from completing this endeavor.
Except for when this rep was new and more people did the Competitive queues, the instances for this are mostly dead.
Had two yesterday so i would not say nobody is playing them, but they are slow to pop.
Queued all competitive TFO for all difficulties and went for some defera or kobalistan action.
Or just shoot up borg in Kerrat. When waiting for competitive one usually has suitable gear for PVP equipped.
That’s definitely the one task you want to save your reroll tokens for.
It seems completely baffling how Cryptic can’t see the problem with this situation.

Right.. and obviously, the more 'fair' solution is forcing people to play something they don't want to play right?
Pretty selfish view, there are other ways to get what you need that don't involve making other people play content they don't enjoy.
You will have to ask people to play them with you. You know, be social. As horrible as that seems to be for some people, this is a multiplayer game and it isn't all about you.
Or alternatively, you can leave it and there will be something else in it's place tomorrow.
False info you put up there, @somtaawkhar . I got a pop for the Binary Circuit Adv a couple days ago, and it was from queuing for the randoms. Got myself the lovely common extra marks box as a reward from it.
If they were then there would be no issue as they’d auto fill even with a single person in a queue doing an endeavour.
That’s how it works; it “randomly” autofills any queue with someone already waiting and needing players before it picks any truly random map.

The lack of understanding of key objectives to continue is more pronounced with pugs, so those particular queues are a lot more irritating and usually end up being a waste of time and effort since you often fail to complete.

Have you tried hitting up chat and directing things? This what I do when I see things not going as they should. The only thing we can blame Cryptic for, is allowing the easy mode stuff to go on for to long. We can't blame Cryptic for a players lack of knowledge, since a great majority of player knowledge comes from other players. If you aren't at least trying to inform others how to complete these TFO's, then you are still part of that problem.
Take for example my last Azure Nebula. Most, just run off and pew here. Starting out I advised, aim for the highest points, and then, while the scattered pewing started, I started calling out in chat things like, "3 north" or "2 east", you know point value and direction. We didn't make the optionals for it. But, things started to come together and I'll take a 7/10 on both as a good thing. Since people started to note what I was saying, and moving in manner to accommodate it.
"What difference does it make?" you get the marks and the elite mark all the same (if on advance). personally I be happy to stay in the 1st section and shoot things and have the other team win. while I have never won in space... i've been on ground ques where "I" have won. never really noticed any difference in rewards.
I'll need to give that a shot next time tbh. I just didn't have the time last time that task came up to monitor a load of channels looking for 9 other players.
I guess at least knowing it might be more likely to pop from the DPS league gives me some hope! I'll try spamming there next time, i'm in bronze and silver i think.
