Ok this is to Ddo and the players out there who care or don't I'm past the point of diplomancy.

I am a veteran player been around the game through lots of **** updates glitches etc... but this is getting stupid.The lag in the game has made playing almost unbearable. Stand still lag when more then 3 mobs appear let alone if a caster is with you or you are the caster and AOES appear. I have lagwpided 6 times today alone because of this ...come on ddo really. Next you broke a loot system that didn't need fixing all players are not casters and the loot dropping isn't even useful. I hear players saying ooh I got vorpal at lvl 2.. I would much rather see loot that is useful to my character and class. I mean I feel sorry to the new player right now. If your gonna fix loot update the quest end rewards that are severely outdated. Now understand I don't get on these forums and rant or complain I don't troll I just want to play DDo as the game was intended but somehow Turbine you have let the game drift to a point of no return.
Now this part is to the new and old players out there more to the Vets. At what point in the game did joining a grp mean run into the quest before the party leader arrives and zerg thru the quest . I was under the impression that if the lfm meant for a zerg grp it would state it. Second if you don't have the star don't finish the quest until the star does. Whats the point in joining someones elses grp just to zerg thru it and finish it before opt objectives were done. My wife and I play together most of the times we run just us. When we do put up a grp we expect grp play otherwise we wouldn't need the grp. Oh yeah ddo players that is called TEAMWORK. I know its a new term. Maybe I'm not changing with the times ... but I like a smooth run ...I do breakables, traps and all opts if you want xp per min post for it if .Also xp per min can be achieved if the grp does all that as a team no time wasted. If you join an lfm of a player you do not know find out how they run first have a little curtasy. Otherwise post your own lfm with the style of gameplay you wish, at one time this was the norm. I am at the point in the game where if you join my grp and you act stupid like this I will just boot your toon from the party. Sad thing is I am seeing this from players from all kinds of guilds and some who I thought were better then this.
Basically between the new style of gameplay which I don't understand how this has became, the loot, lag etc...DDO you are losing your player base. Something needs to change on accounts.
