    Default Zerg LFM

    If you start a party explicitely stating "zerg" then, as party leader, please don't run off on your own to die doing some optional. It doesn't make it better if you release and leave the party.

    Default Zergish

    I've termed the word " zergish " in my lfm's.... I want to run he's quik and painless as possible, that being said I don't wanna leave ppl behind either. On a side note to die like a zerger means yur soul stone is surrounded by mobs still attacking yur ghost???? . I understand some ppl don't like zergers but that's generally few and far between. Being able to gain 1 -2 lvls an hour makes most ppl happy, and if you get 5-6 ppl working together .. Ie picking up q's ahead of time or clearing a q while others rebuff/ repair is good teamwork imo ,and should be held in high esteem. Although being left behind clueless and lost sucks and should never happen in a group, and as a leader I've gone to rescue many a noob who didn't prepair correctly for adventuring ( in which case I always bring em under my wing and teach them the ropes as well as give em 200k in plat to help get pots and Dec gear) I guess what I'm saying is that a few jerk's have given zergng bad name.

    To me, just like "know it" LFMs, "zerg" LFMs usually means the player isn't that "good". "Good" players should be ones-shotting trash on all difficulties, completely eliminating the need to advertise zerg or know it.

    What about adding "Zerg" to lfm just to make sure nobody will be angry and upset when he'll realise i'm not doing opts, bonuses, waiting 30 min for sell/repair/rebuff right before 5 min quest? And even the best player can be 1 shooted by, for example, ogre champ with dmg boost, everyone dies from time to time.

    In the same way someone who don't know quest can make a lot of troubles. For example you can run titan raid, someone won't let you know he's new and right after stepping in he'll smash all pillars and make 60 min preraid waste of time.

    Is there something wrong with my attitude?

    There's nothing wrong with your attitude, but the things you're trying to advertise are already the standard way of running quests. The way I run my groups, and the way 99 percent of them I join are ran are simply, do whatever, but I'm not waiting.

    Well.. it does make it better if they release and drop, since you don't have to reform around them before heading to the next quest while that person is still sitting in party dead waiting for someone to come rez them..

    Thats the other problem: almost no new players in game, only old, experienced ones. And it's making me sad, cause game is different when you're fighting for your completion, not just running to reach it asap, and there is reason to think, use different abilities and do your best.

    But still i think it's better to "advertise" playing style to make sure nobody will be angry. For example few months ago rogue joined my zerg party with "Zerg" in lfm. We were in chamber of insanity. I activated lever&trap, started fight. He came, stepped in the middle of the already activated trap, tryied to search, died, yelled at me that i'm noob, zerger, not taking care about bonuses and players like me are the reason why he's soloing instead of questing with others. And even old players sometimes are going after all bonuses.
