It is not suppose to be a job. I already spent 9 hours at work. I play for fun after getting home. It is a game.

I think it’s annoying when someone helps with unsolicited class tips. It seems you were just trying to keep the pulls flowing. It’s not a tall order and anyone could have done this. The person seems overactive, at least in how it’s presented.

I find a lot of people on p99 to be lazy or at least inside-the-box thinkers. It’s painful to watch with a class that offers so much more. All the more reason if someone wants to do very little they should roll a class like a rogue or cleric. There is still a high ceiling of performance for a good player but a crap one will still be passable.

Honestly even ‘inside the box thinkers’ may be being over generous. But that is fine, sometimes you just want to take your brain out and steam roll easy content toggling auto attack or spamming the same couple of buttons in a particular rhythm.

Not every group needs to be pushing the absolute extremes of what the game offers.

Finally, someone gets it.

I don't mind if he wanted to be lazy, but I had no clarity, so I couldn't root pulls for him. It's a lose-lose situation where if I speak up, I suffer. If I do not speak up, I suffer.

His fellow guildie took his side, said I wanted to "just argue instead of xp", left and then the group dissolved shortly after. That was the price I payed for wanting someone to do the bare minimum whilst I did the most labourious task in the group.

In response to Jimjam: I completely understand the sentiment. However, is simply asking for a tab-cycle, then a keybind to cast Flash of Light to aggro the next pull really demanding so much of a person? I was doing my job to keep the exp flowing as fast as I could.

Maybe he was embarrassed as he hadn’t managed to save up the 2 gold to buy FoL yet?

"Please work extra hard for 2.5% increased XP gain in a game for underemployed dads where reaching max level doesn't matter"

That's how you sound. GFY

Sure. But in this situation what you're also saying is OP should pull, tank, and CC while you sit there pressing auto attack and paying half attention while you watch TV. I agree with OP. If I asked that Pally if he could help with some FoLs occasionally and they bitched and moaned about it I would've just kicked them /shrug
