Tip of the Day - Being Helpful in Groups |
Quote:
"Groups can have it hard, especially when there is a newbie involved. Most classes have abilities at your command that could help your group out in a pinch. When broken CC mobs run amok throw a stun at it until it can be controlled again. If you are a tank and have a new healer, blow your short cooldowns at the start of a pull to help them out a bit. Before bosses, ask if everyone knows how to do the boss and offer an explanation if people haven't seen it. I know it's not in everyone's nature but simple and easy things like this can make a huge positive difference in pugs."

It does happen every darkmoon or so. I've been in groups of pugs that played so well together we just moved from one instance to another as a unit. Sometimes we get a noob who doesn't know what he/she is doing or is specced all wrong. If they can take constructive crit then they stay and learn and I add them to my friend list for other times we need a fill-in. Works out fairly well.  |

The major problem I run into is defensiveness. If you ask one question about what someone is doing they freak out on you adn then they're little jerks for the rest of the run. Happens agian and again and again. Like the hunter who was top dps, but he didn't MD, he woudln't help on adds, he wouldn't use a different strategy that he'd "never done before" and felt entitled to belittle everyone in the group. Well frankly the group was a good group, well geared, knowledgable players who were faily laid back. He was the burr in the saddle blanket. But you always get that one little sh!t....
And I just realized...with the exception of that one warrior every crappy annoying "I am leet and you suck" attituded (yeah i know it's not a word) player that I've voted to kick in the last month has been a hunter. I guess it's because it's an easy mode, "I can stand alone" class, therefore they don't join a dungeon with a "work with the group" mentality.

A year ago it was paladins.
A year before that it was warlocks.
A year before that it was rogues.

Verbatim to said hunter: Shut up, or we will vote kick you and you can wait your 30m queue again.
And normals are for learning. If you get a brand new 85 in PvP gear in a heroic, s/he deserves to be kicked. Go run it on normal, learn a thing or 2 about your class THEN go into a HEROIC, you know, the harder version of an instance meant for experiences players.

I usually out dps my colleagues while wearing my pvp gear.
Which is why it always cracks me up when I see statements like the above.
Thank you for the continued laughter, Peo

oh lol and lol, someone is attempting to be a douche by being acting amused. Seriously, the whole, LOL I am superior and laughing at you schtick is so 3 years ago.
I don't care if you dps well in PvP gear, you would do better in PvE gear, if you think otherwise, you are an idiot.
Instead of trying to be defensive and point fingers, try reading the actual words and their intent. I am talking about people who ding 85, buy a set of PvP gear off the AH and hop into ZA 1st thing. But no, I guess asking anyone like you to be observant instead of chomping at the bit to get butt hurt would be too much to ask.

One of us is butthurt, that's for sure
/chuckle
You really want people to slave it away in normals, to obtain a blue set of gear that is not as good as the starter pvp set? JUST so it says "PVE" instead of "PVP"???
Thus endeth the lesson, and let the laughter continue at the idiocy of your train of thought.
Edit: What you want is for people to be RAID geared, so they can CARRY you through your daily heroics. It's ok, you can admit it. It would be impossible to think any less of you anyway.
