It's not about how powerful Malgus should be, it's about what makes sense and what counts as canon. Gameplay was never stated to be canon, right the contrary it's not.
If Malgus can ragdoll 3 out of a 4 people striketeam, then he doesn't ****ing lose.
Anyhow if people want to treat it as canon, then they should also treat every other boss as canon. Like when a random Jedi ragdolled the 4 imperial protagonist on a dark side nexus, when it required 8 protagonist to beat Rancors, pirates, bounty hunters, hutt bodyguards, etc.

The feat is stated to be occurring in the OOU text box. Is that just gameplay?
Yes he does, because he can't do that and beat the last one at the same time.
It didn't "require" anything, fool. They're mid-bosses during an flashpoint. You think the rest of the team should just stand back and let 1 player take them on to better represent the threat level of a rancor? It's an enemy you happen to fight with 8 players. Thats all.

Well that'd mean he is just retarded. If he is powerful enough to ragdoll 3 at once, then he is powerful enough to oneshot them 1 by 1.

Pretty retarded argument (I see why you like Malgus), but sure I can indulge it. They need a striketeam of 4 to beat an Advozse battlelord, a Cademimu general, a single mandalorian, a fat scientist, a bounch of rakghouls, and they needed 8 to beat a hutt in a tank, a pirate with a bird, and a Trandoshan in a tank.

The same could be said about Revan. But no, is means he couldn't apply lethal force while dueling 4 opponents of this caliber.

No need to get personal darling. Most of these had numerous circumstances behind making them credible threats, had prep or help and were fought far before the protags prime. The "hutt in a tank" for instance was in a prototype Isotope-5 droid, powered by an energy source so powerful it could turn the tides in a galactic war. As I said in the other thread, you also need to account for the large forces you need to fight through in these, which account for their difficulty and scale.
If Malgus had not taken the other 3 out of the fight they would have just dog piled him regardless if he could have one shotted them. He couldn't simply do so the non force sensitives as well because it takes focus to maintain a sustained telekinetic hold and all the non force sensitive protag classes possess personal energy shields.
I would assume Malgus would have to wear down their personal shields before being able to affect their internal body. There's also the fact that he's fighting off a protag whilst doing this so it's likely he's not going to be able to gather the concentration nessecary to do so whilst fighting that protag.
