Part of the problem is that the DPS queues are getting ridiculously long so there's not much of a chance to do heroics outside of guild. But this entire week has been populated by under geared toons played by people that have no idea about the dungeon, most can't even seem to find the instance door after the wipe.

Please, if you don't know fights, go practice in regulars. Or practice with your guildies who have the patience to explain the fight. Or better yet, do the community a favor and unsubscribe.

WoW is too hard yo. You know you play a good game when waiting for something to do you either do repetitive tasks over n over, or do other games on the side... or a few other things

It's a PUG .. you get what you get. Sometimes you can't get past the first set of trash. Sometimes you blast through the dungeon so fast you go .. holy crap!


I had my troubles, and caused a few wipes, as I learned the dungeons. I think everyone does. But more and more people are getting better gear and learning their roles.


Dungeons are getting easier and PUG's, in general, are more successful. That's not to say you get some real losers from time to time. The other day Recount showed 11 people had come and gone in the PUG trying to get past one boss and we never did.


Yeah, there are a lot of rage/quitters out there and a few that probably shouldn't even be in the dungeon due to gear or stupidity. Most of the time ignorance can be cured and a little patience will prevail. If you don't have the time for eaither, then maybe you don't belong there.

So,..

Dec 7th...
Jan 7th...
Feb 8th....(today)

Two months into the expac, and everyone should have heroics mastered, to the point that if they don't players should unsub?

Two months ago, YOU didn't know the fights either...yet YOU didn't "do the community a favor" by unsubbing..


I notice you aren't playing a tank or heals either (since you mention only DPS queues), and I hereby declare that you, as a DPS only "scrub" are part of the problem, and demand that you unsub immediately.

Man... there is just so much to take apart in these five sentences it is amazing. But it really does sum up the state of the player base of this game.


I do agree that they should "practice" in regulars, but that will only take them so far. So many mobs in the regulars is trival, in the heroics they will curb stomp you.


PUGS are still PUGS, no matter how much technology is used to streamline the process, PUGS are still PUGS and they have all the hell imaginable.
