Vent your PUG's

thats right post your horrible horrible pugs youve had to grind your teeth through in whatever mmo you play

ah why just the other day me and my friend rick are in karazhan and the group just cant figuire out why they keep dieing on curator so i run through the standerd procedure of checking whos doing what and it wasnt hard to see the fact that they didnt bother clearing the hallway of other mobs before curator so were all pushed back into a corner which allows the adds curator spawns to pile on us and grind us down fast. so i say "ok we need to clear the room" only to have the guild leader respond "no we dont ive done this before without doing that". ok fine so we wipe again and the guild leader clears the room for the next round well all of a sudden we start doing better cause we have more room to move.

then...we wipe again. so i start doing gear checks and oh holy mother of satan it was like pain for my eyes. our paliden healer (already not the best choice for a healer) is decked out in greens from 10 levels ago he bought on the AH horrible horrible greens. our "off tank" is in honor gear you get just for hitting 70 and being honored with a few factions our mage made half her gear the only people geared for this run were the guild leader myself and rick. now heres the problem once you point this out all of a sudden you become demonized by the whole group as i was told to stop pointing fingers at other people. there whole story was kara is for gearing people. fine i get that but you need gear to get into kara to get gear to get into SSC to get gear to get into hyjal to get gear to get into BT its not hard to do it just takes time.

well the guild leader wasnt having any of it so i do a quick /afk announce ill brb and go guild shopping i find a better organized guild that knows what their doing and in the meantime of me talking to this officer the group im in decides there not going to wait for the guy thats topping the dps chart to show up and starts the fight without me. meh no big deal halfway through the fight i stand up i wave goodbye i /gquit and hearth never to see or put up with that god awful guild ever again.

ah i did begin to worry about that guild when they could bairly complete heroic ramparts....

anyways go ahead and post your wonderful recounts of the most horrible idiots youve ever met.

for some reason, it deeply disturbs me that Wash plays WoW. seriously, out of 9 million players, Wash has GOT to raise the collective IQ by a point or two.

Pugs ! While I've had a few good or great experiences with pugs the bad experiences far outweigh the good. I try to keep within the guild as far as heroics or instances like Kara and above. Most often guilds are formed around playing styles more than anything else. If I'm doing a Kara badge run I don't want to be bothered with people who have no idea what they're doing. On the other hand if we're just starting a new instance I want people who have tolerance/patience and who won't end up swearing at people and leaving the raid early.
It takes a lot of fortitude and dedication to learn higher instances. I've little patience for those unwilling to undertake the grueling work necessary at the beginning and then want in after everything is running smoothly.

I've always been a healer - it's what I'm best at (Priests FTW).

The thing that always gets me is that I run into party after party that seems to think that when the priest says "OOM - drinking" that means that it's time to do the next pull. I mean, there's no reason not to start the boss fight while your priest is still sitting on his kiester with a flask of filtered draenic water in his fists, right? It's cool. He can join in whenever.

Right then, things in pugs that ticked me off:

1) When the people in the group who are the only ones capable of healing anyone refuse to heal. Dude, I know, you're an Enhancement Shaman and but it's me (a warrior at the time), 2 hunters, a rogue, and you. FUCKING HEAL ALREADY!

2) Mages who have to AoE -------->EVERYTHING<------------. Jimmy christmas on a crutch guy, I realize that there's 5 of them but that doesn't mean that AoEing is a bright idea, especially as a Feral Druid since I don't have all of the aggro-gaining abilities they do. I got so pissed at one I just let his ass die repeatedly until he got the point

3) Classes who have certainly useful abilities but refuse to ever make use of them: Mages with summon food/drink, warlocks with health stones, warlocks who REFUSE to use Ritual of Summoning even when we could get a new party member to the group fast without having to wait 45 FUCKING MINUTES on him/her because they're on the other side of the world. Retards. I realize that being a glorified vending machine isn't one of the things you like about being a Mage, but it's really friggin useful to me as a priest or druid.

4) Tanks who make -zero- effort to grab aggro from any of the other mobs in a pull. I know that tanking can be a bit of a challenge but when I, as the healer, see you standing there hitting on your one mob and not making anygod damn effort to pull Mob #2 off of me/the mage/someone else in the party, it makes me not want to heal you and let you die for being a douchebag. You don't even have to be good at it, all I ask is that you try.

5) Finally, DPStards who don't know their place. Motherfuckers have it EASY in WoW, they don't remember what it was like back in old EQ1 days, where the idea of overaggroing the warrior was so unbelievably stupid because the mob would swat you down in half a second and so you always did just enough to do some damage but never once take aggro off the warrior. You're not soloing anymore you ReRe's, as a tank it is not my job to fight against the mobs and the members of my own party. Tone down the DPS a bit and let me get aggro before you rain down old testament fury or I'm going to let you get killed when you peel aggro off me for the 32nd time in a 20 minute span.

That's all I can think of for now.
