What would you do?

[Yaga_Nub]

Yaga sweetie, I said I try NOT to tick off pugs... and we all know how often I pug... like never...

I agree 2 hours of grease fun would be like OMG...

People get silly sometimes...

My point is either say something or don't but don't come over here being all WOW Argo sucks...

Because it doesn't. There are wonderful people here who play all kinds of ways.

And this is why Rowan does not pug anymore... grumpy people...

*hands Yaga some coffee*

See ya in Stormreach,

-R

Don't hand me coffee, I'm wearing PINK for you so get your body over here and come find it.

Well, I would rather play games in a frat house than a retirement home .....

I'd rather play games in a sorority house.

To the OP, originally I played casually on Mabar now Argo for about 5 months (now I play much more often). When I only had a couple hours "shenanigans" adding hours to a quest were cute, but then got old. In my opinion, anyone doing this is simply bored and having fun. Argo has great players, but they can be a little bit (ok alot) childish at times. I recommend redirecting them to a differnent challenge that is fun, but better for you.

Examples:
Ask the figher to only use weapons pulled during the current run.
Ask the wizard to run in front of the group to make aggro more fun.
Ask the wizard to swap out all spells on her spell list for something different
Ask them to run naked
Setup an all melee mobs must die before the casters challenge.
Make a comment like "man the last time I ran this we finished part 7 in 5 minutes , those people were really uber"

In short, when dealing with good bored players, redirect, redirect, redirect.

Astroglide can have the first lubricant-focus item I come across.

I'd trade you a heal, but you never take enough damage to make throwing you a full heal worth the spell points.

This comment made me so mad I fell out of my wheelchair and broke my hip. I've fallen and I can't get up.

Now, come here and change my Depends (tm) you whippersnapper! And make it quick, Father Dowling Mysteries is almost on.

This is simply to speed up the run so we do not have too and to make greasing you grotesque.

This is one of about 2 dozen comments I have heard about like this regarding that server. Even respected names like Ro&*hea( have posted about taking part in that kind of behavior on that server. My reccomendation, if you want to get down to serious business, and still deal with friendly folks, come over to Ghallanda. We have fun, but don't pull those kind of stunts. Especially not in a pug.

OMG Rowan is having fun!?! How dare you, Rowan!?! You know, I've played with Rowan plenty now to know she wouldn't pull that stunt in a PUG. This would only happen in our guild groups. And OMG, we like to goof around sometimes!!!! Terrible! So back off on my girl...you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

To the OP, you gotta do what's right by you. If you're not having fun in the group you're in, drop group, join another. End of story.

See, this is why I don't grease people.

That is only because he is usually dead if he does take that much dmg .

Playing this game is kinda like russian roulette with STDs though.... It's fun til you actually swallow a bullet.

I'm curious about how I should have handled events that transpired during a Tangleroot quest over the weekend. We started about 12am, and things were relatively normal for the first hour as we neared completion of part 6. At this point, the wizard started to throw 'grease' under us as a sort of joke...not unusual really, except for the timing..during the quest.
At any rate, we finished part 6, and then her significant other, playing the main fighter, left to get a clickable item with 'grease' on it. From then on, it was a war, with people falling all over...the fighter wasn't bothered when he fell into the spiders at the beginning and was eaten. Long story short, by the time we got to the second stage of part seven, things had devolved to a joke, the wizard using all of her spell points to lay down the patch of grease for the 80th time.
My rogue has a great balance, but this doesn't help in trying to single-handedly fend off the gangs of monsters that descended on us; with a warrior that couldn't stay standing, and a wizard that had no spell points, you can see where this is going...i died.
My response was to let them goof around and come back in to carry my stone to the shrine..where I just let it sit the rest of the way. I went away and did things on my other comp, refreshing often enough to stay in the dungeon. They finally finished a little after 3am, with 2 hours spent on 'grease' gags. I have to confess I didn't mind hearing the jokers' constant stream of death in the elite traps I would have been there to disable...
My question is this...should I have dropped the quest like one player did...chewed them out and dropped quest...chewed them out and tried to complete it...or just let them finish and pick up the xp?
*guild reference removed on advice from a knowledgeable poster*

Soundlike someone's upset cause they didn't have a grease clickie.....

(but I like the part about letting them die in the traps as revenge)(would have been better to just tell them you weren't going to disable it on purpose IMO)

Remember, your death is never another's fault. Staying in the back is always an option. running away is an option (difficult with Grease)

In that case, I'll offer up one cure light wounds in exchange.
