While U are waiting for your previous group members to do a Corpse Recovery?? and then rejoin them later once they're finished?

I'm new to the server so still figuring out what is and isn't acceptable etiquette, lol

Perfect etiquette. If the experience is better, don't even go back. If they send tells , just /ignore them.

leave the bad group, join the good group, then go pull bad groups mobs they're unable to keep up with

If it feels bad, do it.

should just be FFA in xp zones anyway

enc be god tier pullers w/ tash ripping off mobs from other camps

Depends on the individuals in the group, and the context of the wipe/recovery. If they invited you back it doesn't seem like it was a problem. If they didn't invite you back...probably should have helped them recover if you wanted to be in the group.

You're gonna burn some bridges in EQ, up to you to decide which ones are worth burning.

The likelihood of any given bridge being burnable is directly proportional to your time spent on P99.

Which way does that likelihood go - play more, more bridges burnable? Or play more, best to burn fewer bridges? I could see either read of that being correct depending on circumstances.

Tash is like zero agro now, would have to use slow...maybe cripple. But tash they do that on inc now lol

figure out what directly proportional means and you'll know

Good suggestion. I thought I understood it, but maybe I'm missing something...

directly proportional
adjective

proportional to a constant multiple of an independent variable

Reading the definition of directly proportional my question still makes sense. Let me try re-stating, using the words in the definition for you.

Which way does the independent variable of time change the burnability of the bridge - play more, more bridges burnable? Or play more, best to burn fewer bridges?

Seems a lot clunkier to phrase it that way, but alas..

It's the opposite of inversely proportional.

Hmmmm. Gonna need it dumbed down.

I could understand both of these arguments, which one is right?

If you're going to be around awhile, the probability of a burned bridge coming back to bite you is higher. So if time played increases, the probability of a burned bridge being an issue for you increases proportionately. Makes sense.

BUT if you play a lot, you get better at the game and improve your self-sufficiency, learn all the camps and all the tricks, the likelihood that burning that bridge in some jagoff's Mistmoore group creates a problem for you will decrease as your time played increases. So that would be inversely proportional to your time played?

*rips bong* I think I've cracked the code here - the answer is whatever you want to interpret it as. The universe is a wild place man

Generally speaking that is not the best thing to do. You should help with recovery.

Ive certainly been in a situation where we were loling about not letting someone into our full CE group after he jumped ship for a CE group that wiped and disbanded :o

If you're the main healer/Cleric of the group, absolutely leave them in the dust and say "Good Luck! I might be back lol" when you go.

That's actually the proper procedure and etiquette.

If they whine, just remind them who holds the power in the relationship.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have Complete Heal?? Oh you don't? Then STFU."

The more passive aggressive, the better. Really make them feel like shit for even getting upset.

When I'm healer I like to put a group together at like TOV or drooga and when half or more of them get there bail to go join a CE group.

Remember that, the next time YOU need a CR and the rest of your group bails on you. Karma is a ....

it's so funny that i would feel extremely guilty for what you described in op but have never felt bad for killing people low on health.

group loyalty is a thing imo!

Would prolly need more info. How long were you in the previous group?

What class are you?

Was the wipe in any way your fault?

People giving advice mostly just tryin to be funny. If you were grouped up awhile and you were the puller and tank and pulled 2 much and wiped the group you should prolly stay. If you were a dime a dozen melee that was barely doin anything anyway and were in the group for 5 min feel free to leave.

City of Mist as an example of many, if you're 47-48 and grinding at stables... then the moat group has an opening telling you they're doing the whole of it plus opening the door with a 50 rogue and pulling that as well... you're probably leaving, particularly if you're not the tank/healer and can be easily replaced :p

that stables group should be understanding regardless of what class you are, 47+ at stables at least half the mobs are green.
