I straight up tell the group if I'm having an issue with how things are going, as politely as possible. I'll give them 20 or so minutes warning to find a replacement.

honestly though, and I really hate saying this, with the way Racial & Hybrid experience penalties work in being split upon fellow group members - I kinda prefer to solo unless everyone in the group is on their toes and the pulls are coming quick.

And that's really rare. It seems like there's always a DPS going constantly AFK, or the puller is, or there's a hybrid AND an Ogre / Troll hybrid in the group on top of it. I'm just being honest.

Yea nothing worse than having a bard pulling with a pally tanking and a ranger in the DPS slot

i bet living in the middle east is worse or being agatha

Ya know, bards are actually really nice to have in a group. Them pulling is really good with speed song so you always beat other group's pullers to the secondary uncamped spots. Personally I would/will group with any paladin who makes it 51+, afraid at that point they deserve it. Ranger's though, I like to avoid them.

Not much Ranger Love in this thread. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I have one I never play, I think it was the first toon I started here. They sound great on paper but never really work out on here.

I know I rag on paladins a lot but they really don't do much, or any less damage than a SK without their pet Tanking in a group. Now solo I will take a SK.

I'd be fine with a ranger, paladin, and bard and even a DK in the same group as long as people were fighting fast and the pulls were coming in chain-fire speed. Who gives a flip? That's fun.

If it's a dungeon static camp with respawns at 8+ minutes each the above scenario ain't gonna work. Lol. And the constant AFK's... they're always there. "srry was busy txting".


Back on topic - I did type once " I ate something bad and I have a personal emergency in my pants. gtg sorry."

But that was on WoW so it's to be expected.

I find that I get more creative the more I hate the group I'm in.


"Sorry, diarrhea irl [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]."
"Oh wow, the Jehovah's Witnesses are here to talk to me about why I love Satan - later!" (must be immediately followed by /q.)
"My kid is autistic and I think he is burning the house down."

The truth (more boring):

"Cooking dinner, gotta go."
"Awesome, Chopped is on."
"Husband agro, off I go.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]"


For the most part, it's just as it is.. I got rl shit to do, see ya! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I try to give a warning usually.

Sure there is. Having a self-righteous nimrod obsessed over xp per kill whining about it or refusing to group over it is far worse.

I've lost far more xp to afk monks and rogues, or players just dogging it, not to mention general incompetence (how many groups have you had wiped or half-wiped due to incompetent and/or over-optimistic enchanter charm-tards?), than I ever have to the max xp-penalty iksar/troll/ogre SKs who tend to be the most on-the-ball and enthusiastic group members.

The only experience penalty I'm concerned with in a group is the players who contribute absolutely nothing to making the game fun to play. The experience of playing the game is far more important than the movement of that little orange bar, and the players who obsess xp penalties and xp/kill in group are generally not much fun to be around. I'll take a fun to hang out with hybrid over some self-worshipping Rogue/Monk/Enchanter twink every time.

so hybrids are the most on the ball enthusiastic GOAT eq players with 10/10 personalities and everyone else is self-worshipping terribad twinks
