Is it bad that I sorta feel guilty over leaving a grp of lvl 85 newbs? The poor things were clueless about following kill order, not breaking CC and that sad little hunter was like....pulling 2.4k dps. It hurt to watch her. Steady shot, cobra shot. Had strength tirnkets on. The lock was nice and did give out healthstones but he'd send his pet in on the mobs that actually did get ice trapped. Mostly the traps missed the mobs though.


Frankly, I think I've reached a point where I can leave without feelign responsible for their education and save myself the aggravation of toiling through a regular random that's a pain since I'm grp'd with peeps who aren't aware of what they should be doing.


I must remember, I was clueless once. At like....level 45.

Regrets and PUGs can't happen. Bad PUG? I hit leave and queue for more.

Sometimes I feel like teaching, and sometimes I don't.

Don't feel guilty.

Its funny as I read this, I just logged into my guild vent and our tank is like for the love of get on so we can do some heroics, I can't take the pugs anymore.

Doing some earlier today, we had to get creative on some encounters due to group make up. It was really fun to try different things to get encounters done. I couldnt even imagine trying to do that in a PUG.

I really thought I would hate heroics but i am having more fun they I really thought I would. I even healed a heroic blackrock on my shaman last night with my guild. That was more fun then painful, it was shocking to me. But I sure wouldn't do them without my guild.

Edit - incomplete thoughts FTW!

Well I don't blame you for feeling bad, I would too, *but*, the norm is that most people don't want to be taught. And four people teaching one, well, okay, but one person teaching more than one person is a bit much really. It's not really practical.


Now, I can see some people not looking up precise min/maxing skill rotations, but stuff like CC and your important stats should be known, well as you said by level 45.


Ebay accounts maybe? Playing on a friend's account? I don't know, but you were kind of in a no win situation. Even if they had asked for help, it's tough going in the middle of a dungeon teaching multiple people.

This is the easiest game there is to hit end game and be clueless. Tis why there's so many tools running around.

Yes.

I also don't remember TBC being this bad, but we were just happy back then when Blizzard added the system to mark targets I guess. I still miss Arc ... the instance.

Nothing wrong with leaving a pug mid-dungeon, as long as it isn't done in a way that purposefully screws over the team. (i.e.: "eah, go pull...I'll catch up in a sec. *snicker*"

/chortle


I would never do such a thing!


Nah, I jsut gave them a few pointers and then left the group. The healer had already dropped. He wasn't one of the clueless ones.
