i hit 30 on my shammy, so i decided to dual spec and try out healing, i let the group know from the get go, we were in SM, after the tank pulled the whole room at once and we cleared with a few heals, they asked me to stop healing and just dps. told them, just trying it out, we were mowing down mobs anyway cuz most were in heirlooms...

so 5 mins later i'm booted, wtf, i qued as a healer, was healing and no one died? was in the wrong?

You grouped and went into an dungeon.

Well, there's your problem.

People do crazy and dumb things. That's why I rarely pug.

Were you the only healer?


I am thinking not, and therefore par for the course here we are not getting the whole story, just your version.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

What were the other classes in your group? Were they able to keep themselves pretty well healed up?


Chances are they wanted to get through the dungeon faster and thought your DPS would be more helpful than whatever heals you might have been doing (that may not have been completely necessary).


That's not a comment about your healing.


That's a comment about the group's expectation/values.


See: Rill's statement.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

That is my guess.

You were probably with a mostly guild grp. You didn't do what they wanted you to. They didn't need you. They could 4 man it so they booted you. If you Q with only 4 peeps you're gonna get a 5th. Besides, you might have rolled ons omething theyw anted tog et for someone. And you were "just a pug"


More going on the jsut the healing thing. Hard to tell the full story.

Yep, I was in Stonecore Heroic at the first boss and was asked to specifically kill the adds which spawn every 5-10 seconds or so which did, then was chastised and subsequently booted for not pulling enough DPS on the boss.

Oh good grief.

Unfortunately, I'm sure we will hear more.

WoW has a community of fowl bowl movements.

LoTRO is a refreshing change in that regard... generally a friendlier experience.
