I very rarely actually ditch groups. It comes from leveling a rogue since classic eq. Getting a group could take hours and as long as there was 1 other person with me willing to rebuild wed try.

That stuck with me, in wow its real easy and doesnt matter but in eq rep is important. No matter how badly I want to ditch a group ill stick it out, even when it dissolves into 2-3 people and 1 goes afk until group is rebuilt. If I have to go I give a 30min warning while trying to find a rep.

Whenever i have ditched in the past it was usually my moms making get off the dial up.

that doesnt work so well these days =p

I must admit I have has some damn fun groups with a SK pulling and Tanking. There seems to be a flow about it that makes for easy XP even though they have the damn dreaded Hybrid Penalty.

Gosh im so surprised... the people who are major forum trolls are also the biggest douchebags in groups! Who woulda thought?!

But I must admit I have been in the most utterly retarded p99 groups. Way worse than anything I ever saw on live, but I always stick it out. People assume because their is an enchanter to always pull at least 3-4 mobs. I mean back in the day on live once everything was broken a good puller can keep track of the spawns, always have the group fighting one mob at a time and never pull more than 1 mob at a time. All you have to do is know what the zone spawn timers are and know what the order was you pulled them last spawn cycle. Pullers are absolutely retarded so far from what I have seen leveling from 1-50. I haven't seen a monk that can split spawns well yet either. And everyone and their grandma has a monk twink that doesn't know how to play it.

I've been in groups on my monk and pally and had people upset that I was only single pulling.

Having a hybrid in group isn't bad if the group is good and the pulls are fast. Two or more and it slows down significantly. If I need to leave a group I generally just say why and try to give enough warning to find a replacement.

There was a thread like this on my server boards way back...Brought to light one of the more common excuses at the time, usually by clerics: "Sorry, gotta run. Kid just fell down the stairs." Which was funny because I had seen this one a few times. Always by clerics.

So if you are a kid whose parents play EQ, be careful around stairs. Had a college professor who said he was glad he didn't have grandchildren since he'd had students who have had 5 or 6 grandparents die.
