Ive leveled a druid to 46 and i can count the bad groups ive had with both my hands... and half of that is trivial stuff like some guy who doesnt want to roll NBG and i find it mildly annoying.

Can you be more specific? What made you come to the conclusion that there were "So many asshats on the server" ?

The most memorable asshat is some SK who was never ready to take aggro off the pulling monk and chanter, and after a while we'd tell him, dude, get on it, its not hard, use your DOT. And he was all like "Ive got 3 50s, i know how to play" and it became the theme for the rest of the night with our group, any debate could be solved by "Fuck that, ive got 3 50s" lol

Going afk for 20mins guys, its ok ive got 3 50s!

Haha that's awesome. I've done something like that on my bard, but instead of going "I've got a 50 I know how to play," I've said "I've got a 50 and I'm too fucking lazy to put a ton of effort into this right now, ONE SONG FOR YOU!"

As much as assholes are annoying and likely to ruin your experience from time to time, I also think they make the kind things done for you shine a lot brighter in comparison.

I personally am the type that little to no tolerance for douchebaggery in situations I control. But I feel a good bit different about public situations, especially one where multiple people are in control.

It's a pretty slippery slope to want GM's to set a standard expectation of behavior, and follow up infractions with a ban or whatever you're implying for them to fix the 'asshat' problem. I realize this doesn't apply to breaking established server rules, but we're more talking about moral and ethical judgments made by the players.

I would imagine a majority of that behavior is frowned on by the dev staff, but I just don't see how it's fixed.

I think the best way to fix most of these things are to isolate douche bags and make a conscious effort to not make them a part of your gaming experience. You generally can control your ignore list, and who you end up in groups with.

The older I've gotten, the less time I waste on people who affecting my time negatively. This is exponentially more true for video games.

So you were the one pulling, and straight kept stealing aggro cuz SK thought DOTing a mob was too lowly a task for someone with 3 50s. Its all piecing together now.
