I just hope the crying is as intense on /1 and /2 as it is here.

Here are the cliff notes:

Play your class. Open your eyes. Engage your brain.


The fact is a very large number of WoW players are not capable of this. I will miss being able to pug using the dungeon finder tool to get a group and simply have a fun dungeon run when I want.

This seems like it might come as a surprise to all of you judging by the responses so far, but..... there are LOTS and LOTS of players that couldn't possibly care less if they are "good".

My girlfriend plays her warlock, her only toon, sparingly. She prefers quests, mostly because of people that expect everyone to know their class inside and out and play accordingly. She just doesn't care. Hell, sometimes she just spams immo because she likes the animation. It's fun for her to run around and kill things and complete quests or see a new dungeon, etc. Will she ever top a dps chart? Certainly not.

The point is: not everyone plays to be the best (insert class here). Some people play because it is fun and gives them a break for a little while. The elitist attitude is the primary reason WOW has such a pathetic community.

Next time you are in a group with someone who is terrible, maybe give them a constructive tip. If they take it and run with it, maybe give a couple more. If they blow it off and don't improve- it may just be that they realize it is a game and are doing what is fun for them. The sun will still rise tomorrow.... I promise.

The problem is with the players in WoW, ie you. Once a month or two has passed it should be easier.

Exactly, non-min/maxers should not be allowed to play. Let's devise a plan to force them out; I would suggest stooping to pre-pubescent maturity levels by belittling those players until they give up.

Well Blizzard keeps promising that they are going to blow our minds.


Maybe our minds will be blown at the epic failures that PUGs will have trying to do these new instances that requires time, patience, and a little planning.


I don't think the world is ready for that.


Thank god I will be learning these instances with guildies. I probably wont be pugging for a while, well at least till they "retune" them for the masses.

I am pretty mediocre at all of the classes I play. I mean SOMEONE has to be in the middle somewhere right?

It seems that everyone that posts here is the best of the best! I am glad I have you guys to carry me!

Look at it this way.. without me, you would be having to compare your play with the REALLY good players.

I don't care how people play alone but when they come into a Group Situation, their performance has a direct impact on the group and all members of the group. Likewise, the attitude of the experienced players matters as well, sometimes much more than one weak player.


People don't need to be the best player in the world in order to Group, however out of respect and common courtesy for the other people in the group, they should at a minimum, come prepared to learn/improve their skills.Â


Obviously, the more experienced people in the group should recipricate and not be assholes and offer that help in as kindly a way as possible.Â


I have no issue with somebody learning.Â

I have issues with the people who have no idea what they are doing and who instantly dig in and refuse all help and in the process hurt the group.

I also have issues with joe-superstar that thinks the group should be going Mach10 and acts like a retard in his attempts to "quicken the group".


For the former, I have no problem going slower and taking double or triple the time to do an instance and wiping a dozen times.

For the two laters, I just dont have the patients anymore and either leave or kick them.
