According to our own speculations on the manner, that's true. It's actually been stated, however, that the Dread Masters' true power is only unleashed when they're together.
Just because they (arguably) draw from the same pool of power (which very likely isn't all of their power) doesn't mean they're individually hindered when working together. It just means that when they're separate they still have a lot to work with. Think of it in the same light as a Force Meld, honestly.
And it stands to reason that dealing with one opponent is much easier than dealing with six, especially when they have extensively varied skillets.
You're a smart fellow, NewGuy, so you can forgo the "at least" schtick because it only compounds the problem. There are four protagonists per faction, and none of these ops are cross-faction and have no reason to be, so no, it will never be all eight. It will be at most four, only two of which are actually Force Sensitive, which is a big deal, and the rest are all no names. That's only if you believe all the best of the best just happened to be willing to go anyway. Losing to that kind of strike team does not put you in the higher ups in the slightest. The Dread Masters are obviously impressive, but you don't need to be as powerful as Valkorion to solo them, given that they lose to teams comprised mainly of unknowns.

And I never claimed they did. The protags aren't as powerful as obi-Wan when they faced the Dread Masters. You, LeGenD, and Tond, are the ones who place everyone and their mom that high in TOR.
Even assuming that gaping load of horseshit is true, which it isn't since any of the Force Using protags shit on Kenobi in terms of power (seriously, talk to be when Obi-Wan teabags gods), Obi-Wan isn't better than a protag + 7 powerful Jedi/ Sith. Obi-Wan could never survive their mental attacks. Ever.

Pretty sure you're the one talking out of your ass, because half the protags wouldn't even be here on random Ops, especially when some of them should be advising the war effort or running the Empire.
The Dread Masters are canonically "the galaxy’s greatest threat" according to the Swtor official website. Why wouldn't the protags be dealing with that? Canonically, theres nothing better for them to be doing. 🙂

Lmao, "Using operation mechanics as canon is a good argument." 😆
The Republic and Empire were working together on Oricon to defeat the Dread Masters. Theres no reason outside of gameplay mechanics that the protags couldn't join forces.
