**Vivalavida** · 03-13-2010, 01:48 AM

not mad or something.

just would you please state it clearly on lfm. or a kind reply will do the same thing?

if i didnt ask , how would i know why?
decline with no reason is rude.

No

I can tell you how often the following occurs when I put up a LFM:

I set a level range of 10-12 - Level 9's and lower or level 13 and higher click join and or send me tells like "can I come?"

I clearly state in my LFM "Pls Know Quest" - People join and then ask, "So what are we doing?" or "Where is this?"

I clearly state by both selecting the class I want and typing it out "Looking for Arcane Caster" - Paladins, Rangers, Barbaries.. Anything BUT arcane casters will attempt to join.

My point being, I am TIRED of being nice to people, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If you click my LFM and I dont take you, dont send me a tell asking why as the reason should be obvious, you were NOT what I was looking for.

However I do agree that the leader in the screenshot could have made more effort on his LFM:

"ToD - Elite - No first timers - Nobody I dont know"

Of course, he would have probably never filled that way

You joined an LFM that was accepting melees but wasn't accepting monks? I would have ignored such an absurdity to begin with, and possibly squelched them out of principle.

I think he already had a monk for taking care of stun effect so that was a bad assumption on your part unless you think there should be multiple. It is also possible that there could have been like 6 monks in party already and needed some bigger beef so again that's a poor assumption on your part.

**Dark-Star** · 03-13-2010, 04:26 AM

Yeah we had a monk, for a while the LFM was for monk only and we had sent out tells to all free monks we knew.

You have run with us before Viva, I'm sure the leader just didn't recognize your name on that character. Don't take it personally, on an elite ToD it's just good to know your members.

**maddmatt70** · 03-13-2010, 04:29 AM

Op I do not understand your post whatsover. I clearly explained that I have never run with you and this is elite tower raid with sulu. The Tower Raid is the most challenging quest in the game on elite difficulty and we were going for Sulu. I have not even seen nor heard of an elite Tower raid with Sulu in Khyber this mod. As is the healers drank 6+ mana pots a piece. I sure was not going to grab somebody I did not know.

To you Samadhi we were looking for a monk for 10 min and did not find one until somebody swapped to their multiclass monk character so to fill the lfm I changed it to many melee classes and I guess I just left off the monk icon...

Edit: I do recognize your sorc and bard, but I did not recognize the character in question which from what I can recall was a paladin multi-class and had no idea that the person that plays the sorc and bard also play this paladin multi-class.

**Vivalavida** · 03-13-2010, 05:17 AM

my point is clear.

Decline with a proper reply. especially when there's no requirement in your LFM.

as yall can see from chat record, if i didnt ask the leader, he wont even gimme a reason why I'm declined.

And I dont play bard.

**Marr0w1** · 03-13-2010, 05:40 AM

its just one of those things you get used to, but you just have to be optimistic and think if they're that elitist, you probably wouldn't want to run with them anyway.

Same as LFMs that wont accept monks/rogues for dps positions, you can garuntee that whoever is leading doesn't know game mechanics that well, and your time would be better spent elsewhere.

PS. In response to someone mentioning people who join below the asked-for level in an lfm, I think that is usually acceptable, as a TR/well geared/experienced player is often as valuable as someone a few levels higher than them, so I often take lower levels asking to join, if I know them or they are confident in their build, as I do it myself.

I tried to get in that raid axer asked me to come along i got denied for reasons only you and your other like minded buds know. i tried to get in with my rogue glacies which runs in the 500 for halflng rog(all others were on timer) could just neutralize all trash mobs but yeah i wasnt accepted either. anyways i heard of your strats we discussed the downfalls good thing u guys did a tester run for us now we can avoid those mistakes. as for me as long as your a good player anyone can come i do agree that i would have to know of you or get some kind of reference from someone in party

but seriously tomorrow im raiding the same thing elite tod with optional goin with axer hydro murderface a few others uhm yeah we will beat it.

**Mithran** · 03-13-2010, 01:19 PM

OP, if I were you, I would edit my screenshot so that it does not show the names of players, as my understanding is that Turbine takes a dim view of screenshots that include player names.
