You ALWAYS give atleast a 30mins heads up before leaving an exp group

The problem is as peak turns into off-peak and people go to bed... what chance does a replacement tank have of getting 2+ hours XP in?

Seen it happen in KC a bunch of times, people log, you get replacements, then more people wanna log, and the newcomers get about 10 minutes before it disbands.

Pretty much this

It's 11pm on a week night, when 1 person leaves expect the group to collapse. Roll a solo class, go forumquesting or find another game to play if it upsets you so much. Trying to fill spots at these times usually leads to exactly what you are describing or an awkward trio left standing that can't get anyone to join.

A lot of times people are in the group at these points because they feel obligated to stay if they are an essential class, when one person leaves it sets off a chain reaction.

So 5 pages to say : Its nicer to be nice, sometimes nice people would like to be nice but they happen not to be for some reason. Also some people aren't nice, and that's not very nice.

Right?

Right?

OP was just sadface that other people operate on schedules that are not conducive to min/max their rate of pixel return. We aren't pissing in each others cereal, we are playing a fucking video game.

If you hate the fact that people have lives, which sometimes require them to cease pixel gathering, take a deep breath, log in your epic+fungi shaman alt and go steal a camp from a more appropriately leveled group in CoM like everyone else.

Fuck.

Does CoM even need a tank?

If a group has been going on for hours and hours and it's late and people are tired. I'm not scared to be the first one to say "i'm out."

And yet for the hour or two before that point ( a position you are well accustomed to ), you didn't think to yourself once 'I'm about done playing.' ? No yawns, big stretches, nodding off, feeling flat? You just go through life suddenly feeling something and then DOING it right then and there?




There's so much deflecting in this thread by people just to cover up the fact that they are either inconsiderate or unaware of what's going on around them.

For people who claim to be adults and therefore have 'lives,' you sure don't act like it - and not because you disagree with Houndstooth, but because you act like children while doing it .

There are always two sides to this clusterfuck. Anyone who /q's because a group had an unfortunate wipe, or because they feel xpgain isn't quite "good enough for them" because the group isn't full of raid twinked alts can go fuck themselves. You know who you are.

The rest of us are something resembling adults and are responsible only for ourselves. If you get your feathers ruffled because someone dips early and doesn't feed you a replacement, you need to evaluate your level of personal attachment to this game. It is too high. Pretty much anything in life outside of...no, pretty much anything in life is and will always be higher priority than this game.

If you enjoy the game and value your time spent in it, that is great and I am happy for you, as our lord and savior Kanye West one said. But dont you ever sit there and lecture someone else on how your pixels are more important than the taco bell flavored shit they need to take while grouped with you. OP and others need to get over yourselves and take responsibility for YOUR OWN SHIT.

If your butthole gets puckered over unannounced departures then solo or run a waiting list for spots and feed the top of the list into the group. Oh, but nobody wants on your waiting list? Then why the fuck are we having this discussion in the first place?

...so in short, people don't like to be called out on their bullshit.
