tanks like you are why this game is trash

Oh yes, definitely. Because tanks are expected to stay and endure the stupidity of a group where the healer can't heal for shit and where people still don't know what to do even after having it explained to them 3 times.

What a fool I am, I thought games were made to have fun, and not to babysit idiots with an attention span of a 5 year old. My bad.

Well, with the way you're getting all emotional here I can't imagine you were exactly patient with them.

But I'm sure you're right, the other 4 people in the group are in the wrong.

^ Well come on, after all, we all know how brilliant Korrigan is!

And if you don't yet, he'll let us know again soon I'm sure.

Korrigan is within his rights to not want to bother with the dreck that makes up the average, casual pug player in WoW.

However, IMO, he's going about it with all the wrong attitude. I loved playing PUGs because it allows you to get in a full game session of "Just How Bad Can They Get?" I tended to do it as a healer, though, which allows for full observation of just what everyone out there is doing.

Once you embrace that attitude and get right into the game, it all becomes worthwhile. Being about to tell the guild about the warlock pushing 800 dps (pre-cata) in heroics, dropping that casual comment of "why exactly is it taking us three minutes to clear up a single trash pull?", the gleeful posting of a meter showing one dps doing 60% of the damage... there's where true pugging fun lies.

Oh, BK, but I've stayed in groups where my character as the tank was topping the DPS meters by far. I've stayed in groups where the setup was less than optimal, and a guy or two couldn't simply understand that they must pay attention and not stand in fire.

The problem with that group I talk about in my previous post is that it was everything bad all in one group. The dps was low, the healer was bad, and nobody except me seemed to understand what to do, even after several explanations (guys, you must destroy those chains as fast as possible...). Come on, the first BRC encounter isn't that hard... thing is, I can't even imagine what it would have been at the boss with the beams, if they can't understand the very simple first boss!

Yeah, there's groups with some bad elements, and I can deal with those, the good elements compensating for the one or even two bad ones. I will also stay if we wipe but it's getting better every try, everybody has to learn someday. But when the whole group is a mess, and nobody seems to listen since no progression is made at all... well, I have better things to do with my time. And I'd dare to say that the one pretending he never left such a hopeless group is not telling the truth.
