Also not to get people mad at me, but I might twink a Rogue. I remember in the early days of P99 Green some of the WORST Rogues and SKs I've ever played with, I mean people I actually silently blacklisted from my groups were getting into the top guild (whose name I wont mention), simply because there was a huge shortage of them.
I'm not a rager either btw, I've almost never got into a fight with other players in game, but there was a couple of Rogues who were so bad that I just didnt want to group with them anymore. Like using that SBD that casts engulfing darkness on targets that we are trying to CC, naturally drawing all the aggro, causing me to go OOM as a Cleric.
Same Rogue waited like 2 hours to show up in Sol B... he was in WC and said he couldn't come to Sol B until he got a teleport to Lavastorm, so we waited forever. Like dude it's a 4 minute run... please. So then he gets there, and straight up refuses to pull and makes me pull as a Cleric instead, lol. His name was Frontal. He was a dwarf. After that I was just like nah, I'm not playing with this dude anymore. Was the same rogue using the SBD to break mez and pull aggro on all the mobs and causing us to almost wipe because healers are constantly OOM trying to keep him alive.
Meanwhile he gets invited to the top guild while my friends playing more common classes got rejected by the same guild.
Then there was this SK, who like, straight up would try to pull lizards to the top of the pyramid in CT. He would somehow accidentally pull like 30+ lizards, then feign death on top of the group and let us all die. Which honestly, mistakes happen, that's one thing, but he would literally somehow start typing in group about how it's our fault that we're wiping ... as we're wiping, as he lays on the ground doing nothing. Like how is it our fault somehow that you just trained the F out of us and then FD'd us.
Like if he said nothing, I wouldnt have cared that much, especially the first time, but the second time it happened in like 30 minutes, I was just like nah, Im not grouping with this dude, this is terrible experience and frustrating. Flash forward two weeks later and he is also in the top guild on the server.
That's why I tell people... like being in the best guild on EQ doesn't mean a whole lot about your skill level lol.
