Every so often in DDO, you might join someone's group. Take a break from all guild questing and friend filled raids. Decide to group with players that you dont' know.

Leaders of these groups will give Ultimatums. IE. "Do this, or else."

Most common Ultimatum I have been witness to is, "Do <insert action>, or else you are banned from my groups forever"

Few questions:

Is this common practice in pugs these days?

Is this appealing to not only leaders but party members?

Is anyone leader that does ths imporant enough, that you feel you would loose out by being banned from thier groups?

Are certain situations neccessary over others where ultimatums are an important gaming tool?

I'm posting this on Thelanis cause this is where I play. However, I'm sure this happens on all servers, so speak your mind.

P.S. This happened to me in a Shroud today. Group was told in part 5, "stay in pool while we single pull mobs, or else you will be banned from my raids forever." This sparked me to wonder what everyone thinks.

Disclaimer: This is not about outing anyone, complaining and such. Simply curious how players on Thelanis feel and think.
