Most groups that I've experience would rather do a few summons, than look for another player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-50529985025193799832009-06-05T04:53:18.036-07:002009-06-05T04:53:18.036-07:00Maybe the ranged dps kept getting the slow casting...Maybe the ranged dps kept getting the slow casting debuff on Heigan. <br />If you aren't aware of it, or rather how to avoid it, it can totally cripple your dps.<br /><br />I've been kicked from a pug VoA before it started, simply because the raid leader was the same class as me. <br />No explanation, no sorry, just a boot.<br /><br />I also replied to a pug VoA LFM and got an invite, I then realised my HS was on CD for another 10 minutes; I apologised and said they should find someone else, as I didn't want to keep them waiting that long, at which point I got whispered abuse from the RL.Huh?*vlad*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-5622363753396132772009-06-05T04:51:17.932-07:002009-06-05T04:51:17.932-07:00I understand Talldar's point actually. When a...I understand Talldar's point actually. When a stranger comes in with new info, an established group can feel a bit threatened. This isn't "Darrax is a jerk". This is Psychology 101.<br /><br /> I run with 2 different groups for 10 and 25 man and even the RL's in those groups get defensive or just ignore techniques I've offered from other groups. Sometimes this results in a longer fight, but as long as the boss is down they don't seem to care. I think it's a a male ego thing myself.<br /><br />As for VOA, the same exact thing happened to me this week. No reply from my tell or anything. I'm sure they were terrified they might lose a roll, but I don't really need anything other than emblems from Emalon. If they'd looked up my gear they could have seen that.<br /><br />@Fish:<br />Sunday night my guild spent the WHOLE night wiping on Hodir. It was a blast. I guess some of us like to raid and enjoy the challenge (even the wipes that go along with it).Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338876497982816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-82254875791360583672009-06-05T00:42:40.634-07:002009-06-05T00:42:40.634-07:00@ Taldar: You are mistaken.

I never told them their way was stupid depsite the fact that it was. Yes, their dps was terrible. And yes, many of their methods were dumb. That doesnt mean I insulted them for it. Not my style. I really got pissed after I found out that their Druid (who has a history of being snarky) called me annoying.<br /><br />I understand that not everyone is at the same level, which is why i volunteered my help. <br /><br />I never talk down to a player in game unless they piss me off. It is their raid, I gave suggestions, they didnt take any, and they failed. To talk shit afterwards is just lol. Your anger and assumptions are even more lol.Darraxushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290390808933294129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-64125037954680533692009-06-05T00:28:30.603-07:002009-06-05T00:28:30.603-07:00I'll have to oppose your opinions here. Regard...I'll have to oppose your opinions here. Regarding the Naxx-10 raid #1, your sister's guild, they were right. They may did things differently. Their dps may have been low. But your attitude is stinky: "Terrible dps", "stupid way" - come on dude, with that kind of mindset you don't have to wonder you came across as the annoying kid who wants to take over.<br /><br />Not every group is on top of their game. If that's not your thing then don't group with them. Don't be the backseat driver - even if you really know better and more efficient ways, an established group much rather will find your "suggestions" (which I assume sounded a lot more like criticism when you gave them, taking into account how you talk about those guys) annoying. And I understand that. Some people aren't there to "clear the place as fast and effecient as possible", they want to enjoy the raid.<br /><br />As vor the VoA-thing: Sure it's kinda shady for a raid-leader to not take in "loot-competitors". If you don't want to accept some else's rules though go ahead and organize your own VoA runs. And check yourself: Would you take in every other warrior, or rather fill up with other classes first?Talldarhttp://warriortanking.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-10386747056586423792009-06-04T23:38:44.112-07:002009-06-04T23:38:44.112-07:00I've been victim of a RL stacking in his favor...I've been victim of a RL stacking in his favor with my a rogue. Seen a rogue starting a group for VoA25, with less than 10 at the time of first sight, so I was able to see a former guildy was tanking for him. I sent several whispers early on and got no reply. As the raid got filled I asked the former guildy if there were even any other rogues getting in and he said no and that he even suggested me for dps but didn't get a response. So yeah. Kinda sucks when u don't get invite for clearly a greedy reason. Only way to get around it is to not pug or be the RL making the groups.Fettsbountyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908790916320999156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-30519178481957085182009-06-04T17:10:17.912-07:002009-06-04T17:10:17.912-07:00@ Elleiras: Yes it was a Paladin, and that thought...@ Elleiras: Yes it was a Paladin, and that thought definately crossed my mind.<br /><br />@ RM: Yes, one whisper is easy to lose. 15 or so is not.

I can't sort through all of them, and I know that some have gone unreplied to simply because they get eaten by the whisper spam and the trade channel.The Renaissance Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218269024132171600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-46381505389916891592009-06-04T15:04:48.803-07:002009-06-04T15:04:48.803-07:00Was the PuG leader a paladin, by chance?

I've found that many of the people who organize VoA PuGs on my server like to stack the raid so there's little to no competition for loot -- for themselves, of course. I know of one elemental shaman who will cheerfully bring 10 paladins to VoA but won't consider another shaman, even of the elemental or resto variety. It's seflish and annoying.Elleirashttp://felfire.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-13912240996315097522009-06-04T14:39:28.446-07:002009-06-04T14:39:28.446-07:00unfortunately, the douchebag to decent people play...unfortunately, the douchebag to decent people playing wow ratio doesn't seem to favor the nice guys. Honestly, I'll admit, I refused to heal groups with more than 2 plate wearers because I didn't want to fight for gear. <br /><br />I really don't see the appeal of raids, they seem to take a long time and offer lots of frustration with minimal enjoyment. . .Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653252976648480240noreply@blogger.com
