If you had been less in a hurry to flame and insult me, you'd have read all my post. Notably this part:
"Also... it's amazing how many people won't ASK if they don't know. They will just make the 4 other people endure their ignorance instead of asking in the group what the boss is all about."
So when you arrive to a new boss you don't know yet... are you asking the group what it's all about? Yes? Good, you've done half the job already not to be a leeching dead weight for the 4 other people you play with.

And also, not having done all instances doesn't stop you from informing yourself when you're about to do one. You read this forum like all of us, the websites where to get that info are known to all here.

Get real, stop being a lazy douche (your word... not mine) expecting the others to do your homework.

Stepping into a Heroic is not the time to learn "how a boss works". Either go run it blind with guildies/friends, spend the 45 seconds to read up on the fight or at the very least tell your group beforehand that you are clueless and would please like an explaination. Deadly Boss Mods is also a big help if you are unfamiliar with encounters (or even if you are!)


Yes, this is a game, and should be played for fun. However, if someone fails to spend a minute or two of their time to learn something and causes four other people to waste half an hour or more of their time, that just isn't right. That is just stubborn and selfish.


Now, back to the original topic . . .


It almost sounds like that tank was just being a jerk to be a jerk, and wasn't really a terrible player but just was trying to purposely piss people off.


"Griefing" I guess would be one way to call it

I read the whole thing. You said that you expect people to know the content because we are 3 months in and there are videos on the internet. "The first month or so after new content, people who know inform the others. But 3+ months later... seriously!" Sounds to me like you expect people to know the content by now. If that wasn't what you were saying, you have a strange way of making a point because that's what your entire post implied with the exception of the one sentence you quoted.

I don't expect anyone to do my homework for me. I will flat out tell you that I am not doing the homework. If I already know what's coming, it completely ruins the fun of seeing the content for the first time. I will go in completely unprepared and will ask about mechanics before the fight, but I won't go watch youtube videos about the instance first and I certainly wouldn't expect everyone else to. I didn't say I don't know where to get the information, just that I purposely won't go get it. It's never been a big deal, because I know how to play my class and I know generally what I'm doing. But to expect everyone to go out and watch videos and do their "homework"? No.

Self entitlement driven casual - we have a pretty good example of those here.
The whole server should work his ass off so I can enjoy my first heroic boss. God forbid I do a little research on my side, I mean, I'm a casual, I have a LIFE outside of video games! The other nerds can do that for me.

I was tab dotting mobs in VP today and the pally tank couldn't hold aggro off me :\

I don't remember saying anything about time constraints or family obligations or anything of that nature being the reason I don't research the dungeons. It ruins the first time for me. Like seeing the ending of the movie before watching it from the beginning. Sorry if you don't approve- guess you will just have to keep grouping with your elite guild that none of the peasants on this board could ever hope to join.

Especially not a self entitled arrogant peasant like you. We already pre-denied your application just for grins.
