Manners

[Darkrok]

I had to leave a group the other night. I joined the group. Asked everyone to gather up to buff - it's Proof is in the Poison so those resists are pretty important - and then watched as one guy proceeds to run down the hall on his own. He proceeds to run all the way to the first fight and immediately die. Annoying, sure, but I wasn't going to leave for that. So I say in text and someone else says in voice that we need to stop running off, gather up and buff. Then the NEXT guy runs all the way to the trigger under the bridge and pulls it. He then dies. During all of this neither one of them has said anything in chat or voice either one. They just zerged ahead and died. At that point I politely excused myself, said "I don't think we can pull this place off...I'm going to head out", and dropped group.

I don't consider myself a snob and I'll put up with a lot of bad play - I'm not much of a twitch player myself so I'm not one to talk about perfect play. Just running ahead and then not even saying anything though? Maybe some people would accept that out of a group but I expect one of two things - either flawless play or communication. I prefer communication but I can live with being in one of those groups where everyone just shows up and does their thing without typing or talking at all. But if you're not having a flawless run then you HAVE to be communicating.

I think it's my responsibility to be polite so I almost always say good bye. I don't feel any particular need to complain at people right before quitting so I don't. I will sometimes complain/request changes in the mission. If that gets ignored and the mission goes badly I'll just say good bye and leave without a big slamming-the-door comment, since I doubt it would do any good anyway.

This games seems to progress in waves. When the free to play first started there were a lot of New players on and a lot of bad Pugs. Vets were expecting this and I think were a little more patient at that time.

Now I think what you are seeing is a lot of Reincarnated players starting over and trampling some of the new players on there rush to the higher levels. I wouldnt say it is them being rude, just trying to level as fast as possible. It seems frustration runs higher when someone is in a hurry.

Dont take it personal if someone drops with saying good bye. There are enough people on this server that you will eventually find players you like to group with and thus aviod these types of players.
