What I don't understand is how did everyone get so awful at this game? It's not a hard game. You really almost have to try to suck at it.
Did people just regress after WOTLK came out? I missed the whole expansion as it just didn't appeal to me and I've only been back for a month. The first thing I noticed was how ridiculously easy the heroics where and how easy it was to gear up for raiding (which no one is really doing anymore). The second thing I noticed, was how bad most people are. Did all the people that knew what they were doing get bored and quit? Are all these people using the DF all newly minted 80's that slug through 80 levels solo? How can they suck this bad?
It is very simple. With the way vote kicking and leaving dungeons early works, you are FORCED to play with terribly bad players. The people who suck badly get all the perks in the world, they aren't punished for their bad play. You can kick one, then you kick timer shoots to 30 minutes and you cannot boot the next retard you get in your group. You can leave a bad group, but then you get a 30 minute debuff where you cannot queue again. Blizzard rewards bad players by forcing the good ones to put up with bullshit. If you SUCK at your class, you SHOULD be removed from the group until you learn to fricking play your class. If you don't like it, don't queue and ruin 4 other peoples day. If you don't like it, stop being so bad.
And keep in mind that outside a 25 man raid which I would only do with my guild anyway, we are not asking you to study EJ and be pro. We are just asking you to put in some effort and give a damn. At the very least, if someone asks you to stop doing a certain thing, pulling a certain way, casting a certain spell, don't throw a tantrum and do it that much more, co-operate!

If the RDF is soooooooo friggin bad...
make your own "pro" 5-man groups, and walk to the dungeon....
Of course, you get no bonus points for this. So, the way you can look at it, is that you have to put up with "regular/possibly bad players" to receive the bonus points....
Deal with it, or don't, I couldn't care less...
but I do sincerely enjoy the crying about this subject...so whatever you all do please keep that up.

I read this thread, its responses, and a word I haven't heard in years popped into my head: elitest.
Let's keep it real, gentlemen. Blizzard doesn't care about your group, guild, or skill at gameplay.
They care about the greenback.
And as long as that speaks loudest, you'll see the game cator to that section of gamer.
It's World of Warcraft . . . not Cyber Olympics. No one is praising anyone's skill here or anywhere else besides you.
If players suck that badly, remove them from the group and don't group with them again.
Life will carry on.

Well if you just read my very last post you'd see I had the very opposite attitude. I don't expect pro players in 5 mans, I mean everyone knows how PuG's are. If you are terrible you will vote kicked anyway, not by the elitist, but just by the regular players that don't want to wipe.
But if you plan to advance beyond 5 mans, you should be willing to learn how to play your class.

Please point out where I mention you directly. Seriously, do I need to preface my responses with 'overall'? If you're not guilty, quit being so defensive about all my posts.

Well stop getting so defensive about me getting defensive! Since you did mention Jesus directly in your post, what does he have to do with it?

Actually, you don't even need to walk or lose bonus points. Just create your "pro" group, have the leader random queue as group and voila: instant dungeons as fast as you can clear 'em.

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 advice for those people:
Unsub, go back to single player games, where easy mode is the only friend needed
If you insist on playing a multiplayer game, at least have the courtesy of not queueing or grouping for anything ever
Thanks
^^
This.
If someone wishes to be a delicate, unique little snowflake and "play how they want", then they at least should be group with others and ruin everyone elses game experience with their badness. They can suck at single player games without disturbing the rest of us.
While I think Arc and Spooky are probably trolling, I actually agree with what they typed sort of.
If you're grouping and you don't care how you play, then you are asking others to carry you/put up with your antics.
Grouping in an MMO is (or should be) a collaborative, cooperative effort. This does not necessarily mean you have to put epic gems in your level 61 greens as you run the Underbog, but you should at least have some consideration for your fellow gamers (who are strangers, yes) that you group with. It's just common courtesy if you're going to group that you try to pull your own weight.
Nobody cares if you want to be terrible as you solo quest all day and all night. It's when you start grouping that you're basically now obligated by tacit social contract to at least TRY to not suck.
I should have clarified, she likes to spam immo when we are running around questing. As far as dungeons, I am referring to most people that don't care whther they do 6k or really get into the ins and outs of their class and push it to 8k on Toravon. As long as we finish the dungeon, I really don't care what you do or how you do it....

Sometimes I really wonder if you play this game.
Of course you get the bonuses. Make a 5 man pre-made group, and join the dungeon queue. It works EXACTLY like if you were joining alone to join a PUG, and you get the same rewards. And your queue time is instantaneous.
And I agree with Mithan and all those saying that if you want to play "like you want", and suck at it, do it alone. If you want to group, make an effort and do your best, out of respect for the 4 other people in your group. THAT is the source of most problems in PUGs. And the best solution remains to only run pre-made guild/friend groups with people you know and who are trying to do their best.

Yeah, well all that crap cuts both ways. If all you serious players would quit queuing up with dungeon finder us lazy/crazy bastards could just have fun! They made it for us crappy players, ie the masses, not you guys. You don't need that extra help, we do!!!
