There are good players and there are honest players

[Emizand]

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will chance upon a good, honest player!

Ssoidh.

To be fair most of the players i meet are good and honest, and believe me, i'm not very lucky. :D

[goodspeed]

I don't really care what they are so long as they don't have to be watched and can go take care of the other dungeon section while I cut away the first.

I guess your directing it to those who dont truthfully answer questions about being familiar with content etc. in my experience many are newer players who are growing ever more desperate to find groups to interact with. For many newer players alot of the game appeal in an MMO is the social contact. Yet many DDO vets put up so many hurdles that prevent smooth teaming experiences that soon the new player has only the choice of deceit to find some chance at acceptance in content they wish to explore but can never find anyone willing to suffer a first timer.

I am not so sure this is a new phenomenon.

It is, in fact, a very old phenomenon.

In this game, sometimes honesty can bite a player in the rear. I am referring to trying to get into a raid not long after it's release.

Within in a week after new content is released, you will see LFM's stating "no new people", meaning new to the raid.

I have seen a trend so to speak, that at times 'new to the quest' players are afraid to say anything at all.

Even when I have lead raids and made it clear that new people were welcome, and made it clear that the only reason I wanted to know was so I could explain the raid, some still chose to remain silent. And then after it starts, you can tell who has never been in there before.

So, if you had to choose, is it better to be a good, dishonest player or a bad, honest player?

[goodspeed]

its always best to lie through your teeth and always roll on everything.

Because that's the players way!

bad and honest.

I didnt say it was a new phenomena, just that it I suspect centers on new players who grow frustrated with being told to learn content before they can join a party for it. Something that began fairly early on in DDO. It seemed like pretty much as soon as we got our first lvl cap increase and a flood of new players, older content started having the Know It tag added

A funny player. Always.

[vegabond1969]

I prefer team players. You know those ones that like to communicate during a quest, work together, and try not to be the star of the run. Those are the ones I like. The others, zergers, self contained, I'm better than you types can go and rot where they fall IMO.

My rule with PuG's is heal who you can, buff who you can and always run with the healer or whoever knows the way.

After all healed and buffed toons will stand the best chance of defeating the dungeon and nabbing completion XP.

I most defiantly choose - bad and honest.

Yes that is what I meant.

I had a funny, but that was a hard act to follow.

Give the hardest job to the laziest man and he will find the easiest way to do it, or he will sit at the beginning and type /dance2 and pike ;)
