So i logged in to try my luck at this game again , i played a bit back and launch then left
 
So rolled a engineer and logged into find the starting zone full of them , are they the new it class ? or was i imagining it
 
Since free to play are there op classes or over full classes , if i finish my engineer am i going to have problems finding a guild for groups or being hated for being a engineer newby
 
If not is there a lack of something , certian class or role ?
 
Just dont want to waste my time leveling if i have to reloll for end game

			every class is fine for PvE. bad performance = bad player.

			Play the class that suits you best. Classes are constantly being balanced.

			Play what is the most fun for you. When looking for a community find one that either welcomes all classes or one that is looking for the class. I don't think there is one that is better than another. At least that's my opinion/thoughts.

Good Tanks and good Healers are always in demand.  If you WANT to play one of those roles then find the class that is most fun for you and play that role.  If you are a sucky tank/healer then it wont matter if there *is* a shortage of tanks or healers its likely that people will not want to run with you, at least not until you improve.
 
If you plan on playing as DPS the good thing about engineers is that they are ranged.  In most MMOs in dungeons and raids having too many melee tends to create problems.  And melee classes usually ends up being pretty popular.
 
Just play the role you want, play the class you want, get good at it and dont worry about trying to fill class or role shortages on a server.  Maaaaaybe for a guild that you are really close with and you can trust not to abandon you when you reroll to a different classes.  But for PUGs i'm going to go with what i like...not what they need.

Thanks but it doesnt seem anyone actually answered the question , Ive played most of the classes too 15 or so was just wondering if there was a over abundance of engineers since fp , the generic play what you like advice is nice and all but i can enjoy most classes .Ive been part of the wow anti hunter feelings and id like to avoid that sort of thing again . I tipically like the challange of under powered or under represented classes well
 
Is there a site that lists populations and class breakdowns with any sort of accuracy ?

			Theres a difference between choosing a class because too many people are playing it or not enough people are playing it and choosing a class because you want a challenge. You didnt mention anything about wanting to play a challenging class in your first post.  If you had said that then people would have answered you differently.

This game is odd for me.
 
I hate melee classes. In nearly 20 years of MMO's i've never liked melee.
 
Thought i'd give Warrior a try a couple of days ago, too laggy to play properly so thought i'd mess around, turns out I quite like it. It's pretty fun in PvP too.
