Ragequit the new thing?

[suitepotato]

Can anyone tell me what is going on that over the last month I've been in no less than eight pugs where the leader and founder of that specific pug (they put the lfm up first) ragequits their own group? Tonight, one such person did it when the cleric DC'd for all of 1.5 minutes on a TS run at the beginning. Last week, a Delera's run fell apart when the leader ragequit over someone dying (oh noes, there goes that tiny 10% bonus for no one dying, how ever shall we go on). Two others got so angry at the ragequitter, they ragequit right after.

In the preceding six months, I've even had people ragequit VoD, HoX, and Shroud runs though thankfully not the leaders.

Granted, some people are getting easily flustered at superd*ckery such as casters WITH a specific buff ignoring a thousand requests typed and spoken (such as for feather fall at the start of a sub run which was cast one by one on everyone who needed it except the person in question, who was left unable to get to where the group was), by one person they've decided to ignore, even though it is right at the beginning of the quest and the ignored person hasn't had a chance to earn the silent treatment. But, easily flustered nonetheless.

While I am at it, what is with the clerics who I know for a fact are good at their job, piking and having to be begged for heals? And why are people I know for a fact know better, zerging into kill mobs and then driving rage and drama in pugs?

Is Ghallanda poisoned with stupid bugs, and everyone infected?

I swear, I just don't know.

This is why i solo my TR's I can rage quit my own group without any drama threads on forums started.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing a group leader from a pug rage quit in fact its been a long while since I have seen a rage quit. Thankfully by the sounds of it my new home server will not disappoint me, bring on the Khyber ....eh Ghallanda drama.

Rage quits for everyone.

i ragequit after quest is over

some runs just result in total tiredness and boredom in rl, if you get off work, have some counted hours to do something productive, then sitting around waiting, waiting more, then finally you get going, only to find out that some of people you waited for are obviously bit r***d. result being wasted time, not just 10+15 mins, but hour or 1.5.

and im not complaining cause im the kind of guy who yells at every 2nd person he pugs with and does something wrong, for the most of part i have above average patience, but there are limits to that.

dont recall ragequitting mid quest, been few occasions where caster is just being asked to put up dd so people can evacuate.

Meh. Let them that want to do that do so. Usually the run goes off just as well or better after they leave.

Also, I find having a few drinks while playing takes away some of the annoyance of improperly played characters and replaces it with amusement.

Now thats the spirit mate!! :-D Haven't personally ragequited, seems weird to me

Aye, it seems weird to me too how eager everyone is to quit a quest if it *shudders* actually takes some effort to complete!

I could, almost, see people doing it back when there was an XP debt for dying. But now? All you have is a slightly higher repair bill. You don't even get as much damage to your gear as when it first came out.

I have been on plenty of quests that have gone bad from the beginning and have still lead to completions. Must be why I play so many dwarfs. Too stubborn to quit.

I away I miss the xp-debt time! Then it was really teamplay that was the name of the game. Seems alot of these ragequiters have WoW background or something since this didn't happend back in EU-land

[Rasczak]

you seem to be way ahead of me. We're still new to this /ragequit lark and are still experimenting with the leader filling up a raid group then leaving due to being on timer.

How do you go about getting the documentation on this upgrade? It sounds entertaining...nothing like seeing some nerd rage to lighten the mood

[Daliyn]

Honestly, I'd rather have someone ragequit a quest, even if it's the leader (though I don't consider someone a "leader" who reacts that extreme to a bagatelle) than him stay and grieve / shout at and insult party members / vent their bad mood on others.

There might be some truth to this, it's quite common in WoW to ragequit from a PUG raid after a wipe, for example.

True, here is a real dilemma! Neither behaviour is in anyway good, specially when it comes for the partyt leader.

[Aurora1979]

Cant say i often rage quit but i have quit on plenty of groups before.

Sorry but if i stand round for 20 mins waiting for a quest to fill, then people come in with no hellos or anything shouting for sharezzzzzz, then come in the quest and get lost/ die immediatly then its always easier to just say, thanks for the effort guys but ill be quicker soloing.

If I cant solo the quest quicker then the group then there is no reason to drop, because they will be making good progress.

Im not that impaitent, i dont mind showing people the ropes but, having said that, I play the game to play the dungeons not to stand looking at the entrances so i like to keep moving.

[tenalafel]

Not sure here, I saw one ragequit in a PUG since I came from Europe, but it seems that the ragequitter are those that also goes whinny about that 10% XP for no death. ( oh dear, grab a Voice from Delera and you'll get your 10% back )

It also seems that they think they are better players than the rest and that they can zerg through anything and don't care about the consequences for the rest of the party ( that didn't follow the zerging ) or for themselves ( Hjeeeeellll !!!!! or "I need my Personal Drone Healer in the party" ( thus reducing to 5 humans the party size ) instead of six ).
So I suspect that they want to cram as much XP as possible in as few time as possible.

Anyway, let them ragequit.
I'll keep my fun... Did VON 1-4 Elite yesterday, 1 Monk, 1 Ranger, 1 Rogue, 2 Paladins, 1 Wizard... lots of death, fun times carrying little stones back to the shrines, a wipe at the end of VON 3, but thanks to the store we recovered and finished... It wasn't with a PUG though, but with a guild group.

On the other hand, I've also seen great PUGs.

I wouldent bother calling the respective individuals leaders, the image of street girls taking an ride on a truck seems more apropiate. The new world is an interesting place, very bothersome is the inability for some people I encountered to accept advice. I dont care if the respective individual is a moron who had fox news as a father and cartoon network as an mother, the ability to follow advice is a basic requirement to adapt in a social enviroment. If you dont have it, sadly, there is no place to isolate yourself on this world, even Himalaya and the Amazon have people in it.

We have a saying that if you want to hide, go deep into forest and dig a foxhole... and keep quiet :-D Well this is out of the context

[Lorz]

Anybody can stick up an lfm....that doesn't make them a leader...just makes them have the star.

Back to the OP....did you say somebody did a sub run and needed Feather Fall....Really....Really?

If you can't have a FF item by the time you do a sub run.....you got much bigger problems then the rage quit issue.

[Ashiel_Dragmire]

I'll admit that there are days when the idiocy of PuGs proves to be too much for me to handle. Most of the time I'll stick it out, but if I'm with a guildy and s/he is also getting frustrated, then we'll both leave. I should probably try harder to stick it out, otherwise I may find myself unable to PuG in the future.

How do you do that?
*jealous*
Neither writing "Im uot of hear u patitic eletist n00b" to myself in party-chat nor right-clicking to Leave Party works for me when I'm soloing.

The worst part of soloing - you can't ragequit if you do something stupid.
