What percent of your 4e parties have an Expertise feat?

I think everyone in our current game (level 12) has picked it up.

But we built fresh paragon characters after the end of our last campaign, so Expertise could be built into feat choices from day 1. If we were leveling up our old characters, I can see some of us saving it for later since grabbing our initial paragon feats might easily be a bigger priority. I'd imagine that no one would be without it at level 16 though.
 

I think it's at 3 between four parties. Two have it in the 17th level group, and I think a third is planning on it. In the 9th level group, I'm pretty sure the warlock grabbed it. So far, none in the 6th level group. The 2nd level group is also none, unless the hammer-wielding warden just grabbed it, and I know he's planning on it.
 




The feat is just good at heroic. It is natural for people to pick other good feats in its place there. But at paragon and epic it becomes great and must-have respectively. A character who has access to expertise and skips it at epic is intentionally gimping himself, unless his built already has amazing hit chance (any decent rogue in a group with a tactlord is not likely to miss for example).
