Just a couple of ?'s from a confused soul...

[Laggin]

I come from Aerenal.

Never really heard,

"We can't do that.."

this much there.

Hear it alot on Sarlona.

I think its cause on Aerenal we had a serious lack of clerics so we were forced to do quests different ways.

Also the mass exodus at the first sign of trouble is comical. I always found the best way to fix a problem is leave and find another group to help me through.

I'm confused now....
where's the question?

[Canuckalhead]

Why are you guys saying that now that you are here?

[Laggin]

Question is why the hesitation?

This is only a game, here to have fun.

So if you die a couple of times you'll have plenty of time to max out xp.

[Knightrose]

You pose no question. I feel ambushed by an ego. Give me my 3 minutes back.

um lagging was lagging on explaining his question, give him a few hours
hopefully he wont crash...

(LOL) (I want my 3 minutes back!) hillarious.

I think those people don't want to spend 1 - 3 hours struggling on a quest only to fail. von 4 and faithful departed come to mind... I want three hours of my life back! ARGHHHH!

Reminds me of that Von 4 run I ran with Canuckelhead and we forgot to talk to all the speaking stones. I think you can piece together the rest ARGHHHH!!!! Stupid haywire wanted to stuff him in a trash can...

There could be numerous reasons as to why there would be hesitation.
Maybe the idea preposed has been tried and met with failure in the past.
Maybe the idea preposed was an exploit of the game.
Maybe the idea preposed would have upset or hindered other group members.
Maybe the idea preposed ... well you get the picture.

People become set in their ways and want to stick with what they know works. Yes it is only a game and yes we wouldn't be here if it wasn't fun, but to many people, dying multiple times and reducing the xp you've accumulated is not fun. Also theres the fear that if your party members drop, party morale drops and that makes it likely that people will bail. Ditching after the party has put so much effort into completing a quest is a major downer for most.
I'm not sure how they did things on Areneal but bailing on a quest in Sarlona without a word or 'cause this group sucks' was really a rude thing to do.

That being said, I've never run into a group that was unwilling to try something new or learn a new trick in a quest.
