Time for me to head out, after this pull.

Blacklisting? Really? The fuck do you bring to the table that's so overwhelmingly good that you think blacklisting someone actually has any impact?

Pro tip, it doesn't. You're only screwing yourself over, and it's as much your fault for not communicating clearly as it is theirs for suddenly bailing on a group.

Look, at some point you need to take responsibility for your situation. Don't want people leaving without warning? Make that clear up front. Form your own group and tell people "hey, do you have a few hours to play?" If the answer is no, decide if it's worth it to you to risk that person leaving mid-camp.

If you come across a player that bailed on a group and he wants in on your camp, man up and call that person out. A little "last time you left suddenly, are you gonna do that again?" goes a long way. You might find out that person has a sick kid in the other room and your orc experience may have to take a backseat to strep throat. This shit happens.

These really aren't hard things to do, unless you're so incredibly arrogant that the slightest mis-step in your master plan causes you to lose your shit and freak out. Keep calm and regroup.

Eh, yeah. QFT

I think the proper etiquite is that you give at least a 10 minute warning before you have to leave. However, it is also okay to leave immediately if you explain that something came up and you have to go. I have no real issue with this kind of thing as long as someone is respectful and takes into account the other people in the group. If you at least attempt to show respect to group members there is no way I could be angry.

I never mentioned the word blacklisting, if you actually read the thread I said I don't expect professionalism, just common courtesy. If you dropped my group randomly, and I am doing a /who all to find replacements, no I won't invite you. Deal with it. You keep using extreme examples like strep throat, if you think that the average person takes off due to emergencies you are full of shit.

Majority of people here aren't ER doctors playing in their office, their lives arent that frantic nor important. They leave because they are bored and give zero fucks about decency. I never said emergencies don't happen.

And no it isn't Orc1, thats the last place I care if people randomly drop because there are probably 5+ people that can replace them within a minute. Other places that can take 10-15 minutes to get to is another story.

So yeah go ahead and focus on that blacklist term and calling me elitist, I don't care. This is about decency, something I look for. I know if I have to leave, I look for a replacement and give a thorough heads up. It does not take much effort. Others can and should do the same.

Not inviting people to your group based on a list you have compiled is a blacklist....

I don't have a literal blacklist, guess my quotations didn't give the hint.... Since when in EQ history were we supposed to look to invite people we did not enjoy grouping with? I don't hang out with people I don't get along with in real life as well.. Shocking isn't it? It isn't a blacklist, it's called life. Same reason a country singer doesn't listen to rap. You create an environment you feel comfortable in. I know, this is hard to understand for people and I am an elitist blacklister because of it right?

How about actually focusing on being a decent fucking person and let the group know when you need to go. To me, they're the elitist ones.

Read through the thread, seems like the world is against you -- I wanna soften the blow a bit and help your experience in the game be better so I'm going to quote the nice and appropriate things spitty said and drop the rest. He was actually trying to help but maybe couched it badly:

I hope this helps and makes your future grouping experiences more fun!
