Back to WoW after almost 6months hiatus, or was it really that long? I love the random LFG feature Blizzard introduced in patch 3.3. Before that, pugging a group is just really time-consuimg if you're a casual player. Since the random LFG, I've been farming badges at a much faster rate than previously possible. But then cross-server LFG, brings along cross-server douchebags... Just because people are on a different server than you are, brings about the worst behaviour from some players - an unfortunate consequence of an otherwise wonderful feature.
Yesterday I was on my lock doing my heroic daily with my brother. We got VH and well, although one of the easiest dungeon, is also kinda slow due to the slow rate mobs spawn after each portal guardian is downed. Luckily next patch Blizzard's planning to fix the spawn rate. After downing 2 boss and the 14th portal spawn. I saw the tank hearth out to Dalaran even though we were already engaging the mob. Wtf!
While we cleared portal 14th and tried to queue for another tank, by the time mobs came out of portal 15th, it quickly overwhelmed us due to the confusion. Way to go, cross server tank. You sucked ass!
New tank came in by the time portal 15th spawned, by then most of us were dead. We tried running in to rez but the tank was slow to zone in and so I was dead again. BY the time he decided to zone in, portal 17th opened and there were like 8 mobs on the door draining the door defenses to 13%. And with no healer, he was dead too and said screw this, and dropped group.
Which means we dropped group and re-queued for another heroic. Kinda suck though since nobody wanted to do VH from portal 1 again.
ON my mage who's lvl 79. Zoned in occ yesterday and holy pally asked for table. I said my table is a lvl 70 food since we only get the table spell at 80 so I conjured 2 stacks of food and traded with him. The pally tank with 34k hp (I thought he was there to run someone in the group since someone at his gear level in a reg occ is just weird otherwise) pulled a few groups and then dropped group. I guess he realised by then that a couple of lvl 79s in the group means the dungeon had to be on regular. Pally healer zoned out to pvp while we waited for a new tank to be assigned.
Another pally tank was assigned to us. Pally healer zoned in and said, water mage. And I was what? again? Then I remembered that conjured food don't last outside the dungeon so I traded another 2 stacks to him.
One guy said mages are vending machine. I lol'd.
Before I zone in the dungeon, I always conjured 2 stacks in case a healer wants it but yeah not gonna lay down a table until I dinged 80.
On pally when I'm tanking, I hate it when dps pulls a group before I even got close to the mobs. Its incredibly annoying to have to taunt off them, and repositio the mobs so that I can hit them. Its not like I can block attacks behind me. Of course, after a while, I stop taunting and just let them die. If they continue to pull, I'll just drop group.
There was a mage who rolled need on every loot a boss dropped even though he aboslutely had better gear. When confronted, he said he needed to sell them for gold. Excuse me, all the other players would LIKE to sell them for gold too and why should you be the only one to do so. And since he was also the annoying mage who kept pulling groups before I even got close, despite me telling him 2x not to do so. I let him tanked and after watch him die, I dropped group.
Sorry for the healer but he should just let the mage die first.
Then there's the overgeared dps or healer who said pull more, pull the whole room. So I did, and then they die and I laughed. The reason why I don't pull the whole group is because ther's always some idiot who would love to start a huge aoe before I even lay out my conse. Which of course means mobs will be running everywhere except standing on my consecration. Its just annoying to have to go catch the loose mobs so I just pull whatever I can keep.
