We are reliving 1999 that is how it worked then and how it works now.

With that said I do not condone the action but realize that is just how things are.

Nope, this doesn't fit my experience of how lists in HK worked in Classic. Next meant next. What's wrong with people?

HK isn't a place you go to and expect to find a basement group hunting goblins begging to invite you. Most of those groups doing that aren't pick-ups but groups of friends that went there. Try going to another zone where getting a group isn't as highly situational.

You sir were played like a fittle!

It's just rude but shit happens. It's same as real life. I can say yeah You can come to the phillies game with me but then my better friend wants to go and you get bagged. Sucks but it's gonna happen. I personally don't do that to people though

Hmm, I must have been lucky. HHK was awesome for me. Usually I would be in the group gaining exp within 2 minutes of logging on. Those folks should have at least told you they had somebody else coming.

The OP's situation sucks, and I'd be a little butt-hurt if that happened to me, but to play the Devil's advocate, what if they had planned to add him all along and then the RL friend logs on unexpectedly? I doubt they intentionally strung him along, else why even keep a list? I will say that I've run into 4-man groups that openly admit they aren't allowing others to join, probably for this reason. A guildie or RL friend shows up, there's no heartburn of "I wish I could add you buddy, but this shitty <class> is taking yer spot."

I'm not gonna lie, my sibling or sibling-in-law would go to the top of the list. Everyone else can wait their turn. Friends included.

A lot of the 4 person groups not grabbing new members is probably this. At least this is the case when its my and my brother playing...

1. If the group is keeping the camp clear, why get less exp adding another person.
2. If you are doing well, if you dont know the person you risk inviting someone who could suck horribly, slowing down exp first by being horrible, second by adding another person to split it with.

It's fiddle I believe, not "fittle".

@ OP that sucks man, but shit like that will happen all the time.

I was guilty of doing that myself, but I had about 15 people IRL I knew that played EQ on live, so I RARELY had to screw someone out of a list, but most times, if I knew for a fact that a friend was logging on, I would tell them sorry no list....meh

I assume this will happen to me on this server, being now that I'm the only person that I know on this server hehe...karma is a bitch, no? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
