Disturbing trend in groups: if you die, you're dropped

[Revol]

I don't know if this is just my bad luck in Guk, but it seems like groups don't get the whole "Leave no one behind" mentality on this server.

This happened a couple times in the last week - both times pickup groups in Uguk.

Start camping - things go well for a while. Suddenly there's a train or unexpectedly bad pull or a LD, sometimes all three - this is Guk, remember. Things don't go perfect and someone dies. There's little interest in the group in getting the person that dies to their corpse, or battling back out to the zone line and dragging the corpse as you go.

For melee classes, it's doubly painful because you need to run all the way from Freeport to Guk then hope there's enough groups in Uguk so you can run back to your camp unmolested. Sometimes you don't have either invisi or lull or FD, depending on your class to make your trip easier.

The last situation left me and a rogue dead and dropped from the group. I had to join forces with another group just to get to my corpse.

I would just chalk it up to a bad night and maybe inexperienced players, but it's happened twice in the last week, and on my live server 8 years ago this was unheard of. I started in April of 1999 and have never had such a run of bad groups, even with people I didn't know.

Anyone have a similar experience, or is this just shitty luck? Has WoW screwed things up for the older players?

At this point I don't know if I'm going to log back in. If this is the new mentality, I'm not playing another game with such a painful CR process, or just not playing another MMO period.
