I guess that just goes to show that people can suck for 10+ years at their class.

When you got 3 50s, you cant do anything the wrong way. Its like gandalf showing up late, never happens.

This! Also, sometimes when in grind groups and I get frustrated enough that pets are breaking mez, I look at what it's attacking and charm it. Makes it stop attacking and just spam "NOT A LEGAL TARGET!"

Here's a few points on the matter:

I'd say over 90% of all noob play mechanics can be avoided by NOT BEING LAZY. My rule of thumb is and always will be to NOT WASTE other people's time (which seems to be a foreign concept to many, many players on this server). When you do bitch about their play style you get:

1. Hey! Don't tell me how to play the game man, I was like the most uber vagina back in the day and could solo Dragons as a druid! I.e I'm the pro, your the noob theory.

2. This game is over 10 years old dude, so what I didn't assist and we wiped! This is not serious business! (the ones who will waste an hour of your time doing CR and really couldn't give a f*#@$)

3. I swear I sent my pet on the tank target but somehow he ran all over to that other group, must be server coding! (the guy who always has an explanation for everything)

4. This is the way i did it 10 years ago, this is the way i do things here. (the "set in their ways" people who are agreeable until you tell them to do things differently).

5. I lagged. (the common denominator when you know you fucked up but can't admit to it).

As an enchanter it's up to you to set standards for yourself and see what kind of behavior is acceptable to you. The care free people who don't care shouldn't have an issue with any of the above and take 20 times longer to reach 50. When I leveled up, I used a 2 strike system (Btw I'm not being critical of the casual gamer here, we all got different ways to enjoy the game). Anyone who repeated the same mistake was put on my probation list. If they repeat the same mistakes the next time I group with them, then they are put on the "not worth my time" list.

It's easy to throw a hissy fit when some people are noobing up your group. Just remember though that losing an enchanter is often more debilitating than most classes (especially in dungeons), and other players shouldn't be made to suffer because you leave the group abruptly (that imo is just as bad as the retard that made you leave in the first place). It's best to keep up the group, try to make small changes to improve things and make a note of X player. You do this often enough and soon you'll find players who exceed your expectations by a mile. Gather those players and start some semi perma groups, your grind to 50 will be a lot more bearable. Not to mention you'll make great friends by the time you hit 50.

As Robert F. Kennedy once said : "Don't get mad, get even"

PS:
1. Between casters who can't/won't control their pet
2. Tanks who break the wrong target.
3. Tanks who can't hold aggro or gain aggro
4. Melee dps who break the wrong mez
5. Melee dps who keep dps'ing the wrong target and do 99 mez break combos.
6. Caster dps who nuke the wrong target after a mez.( Because ducking is like wtf is that?)
7. Caster dps who dots the wrong target or all the targets (my fav)
8. Healers who try to make you join the purple club.
9. Healers who go down like a 2$ ho after initial heal aggro.
10. Puller who pulls 1 mob every 10min.
11. Puller who pulls 5 mobs while room is repopping.
12. Players who play EQ on their 486 and 28.8 modems with a 9 sec game delay.
13. Players who keep requesting haste (although you kept refreshing it 30 sec before it faded for over an hour).
14. Players who request the wrong buffs, healers wanting haste being the best.
15. Players who request every single buff that they and their mom can think of.
16. Players who die like a retard after you fully buffed them 5 sec into a trash mob encounter and then demands a full rebuff (Melee DPS dying to a DS from auto attack being the best.)
17. Players who ask you to do X buff even though you tell them the buffs are being made in rotation.
18. Horrible enchanters who don't know wtf mana management is or is about.
19. Horrible enchanters who do buffs on the fly in a raid scenario and go oom without telling anyone.
20. Players who don't carry the most basic equipment needed to raid. (no eb item being the best)
21. Zomg i could keep going forever but you guys should get the gist of this..

The point is your average enchanter needs therapy by the time they hit 50 from encountering all these noobs. Do you part and ask yourself: "Have you hugged an enchanter today?" Imagine a world without enchanters if all of them get burnt out! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
