Time for me to head out, after this pull.

Lemme share with you a couple quotes that I often referenced when leveling a ranger as my first class on the server. People often didn't want to group with me, for whatever reason -- maybe it will help you:

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow”
Thomas Paine

“Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.” Washington Irving

Has this actually occurred in any situation where it mattered? Someone saying they have to leave Unrest MR is a lot different than someone saying they have to roll out from Seb King.

As others have mentioned the player base is older, people have kids and families. Lots of people are just trying to sneak in some time to play. Worry about it when it matters.

lecompte a nicer version of me who speaks the wise.

Listen, here's my point without my usual ire - you can blame someone for failing to let the group know they plan to leave. Ok, I'm on board with that. If there's no heads-up and they just fall off the radar and leave a group in a poor position, that's inconsiderate.

If this is a continuous problem for you, though, you need to assume some responsibility and come up with a solution. You are very much at fault if your own game is routinely jeopardized by people leaving your group. Saying things like "not everyone has an emergency" might validate your blame in your own mind, but that doesn't fill group spots or experience bars, does it?

This has been an occurrence since the beginning of grouping. I've never been so fucked over that I had to go post about it on the boards - I checked LFG, threw out a couple guildchat and ooc messages, got resourceful. I've had the bard tank, the ranger (lecompte!) heal...all kinds of crap. I just moved on.

I'm pretty sure we're playing the same game, so...I dunno, try something new if this is such a problem. Don't be a hypocrite and blame other people for not being responsible or well-raised whilst failing to control your situation as well. Maybe they suddenly got strep throat.

The day I get angry at someone for needing to /q a game for RL reasons is the day I /q gaming altogether for RL reasons.

Yeah, OP, it's definitely your fault that the people around you are inconsiderate, morally devoid trolls. You should be proactive about fixing the behavior of other people, or things will never change!

Apparently, along with common decency, logic is also dead.

Seeing how less than two weeks ago, he posted his "Hi I'm new" thread, I guess it didn't happen to him at Seb king yet. Of course he won't give up his character name now, either because he's unwilling to stand up for what he actually believes or this is, as suggested, a troll thread to begin with.

People who know they have to leave but tell no one are probably the same people who block the whole aisle with their shopping carts while in the grocery store. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nice.

If anyone disagrees with you for whatever reason on mmo message boards, they will try their best to make you feel like shit. It's especially bad on this board but also on league of legends and wow boards it's pretty similar. It's like a contest to show anyone you disagree with that they're a retard and you're superior.

In 90% of my posts, I was genuinely trying to be helpful. He said it is common knowledge, I posted an xkdc about not everyone having what most consider common knowledge and how it can be personally rewarding to enlighten them. I guess my enlightenment failed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He was afraid there was some connation re having a blacklist, I told him there was nothing wrong with it, more about criteria.

He was a little confused on the definition of blacklist, tried to tell him what he does constitutes a blacklsit...
