For me, the problem with TFOs largely isn't the content itself. With a handful of exceptions, like Storming the Spire and Vault: Ensnared that have 20 minutes of time-gated play that is mostly just sitting around waiting for a timer, my big problem with RTFOs is, largely, the other players. If I'm running with a friend or two, it's fine. If I'm alone, it seems like 2 out of every 3 queues the rest of the team is so bad that I have to solo the entire thing. And there are still a handful of TFOs that, due to mechanics, can't be solo'd. So it's a waste of time.

For fuck's sake, I ran a random Cure Advanced today for an endeavor. I solo'd all three shipyards at over 100k DPS and while I was doing that, the other 4 members of the group, at an average of 4k DPS apiece, let the Kang fucking die. It was covered with so many Klingon ships it looked like a fucking beekeeper. I ran over there when I saw it but there was no way I could clean them all off fast enough. The queue failed, and didn't even count for my endeavor. What the fuck more am I supposed to do? I already did 6x the damage of the rest of the group combined and completed 3 of the 4 objectives singlehanded. Is it unreasonable to expect 4 people to accomplish a single objective together? Not to mention it being the easiest objective in the goddam map?

That's my problem with RTFOs. If I don't have 1 or 2 competent players to queue with me, I may as well not bother, because a 120 second ISA is going to turn into a twenty minute ISA, or a Cure is going to straight up fail, or they're going to let probes get through in Khitomer, or they're all going to die repeatedly and horribly in Infected ground and refuse to click the consoles. I can't do it. I literally cannot do it anymore. Patrols with "ok" rewards were the perfect compromise. Instead we get this shit.
