Sick of People who dont cooperate!

How very true. When I did Elona's, there was one douchebag standing there spamming
LFG FR MISION NO MOTHER (expletive) N00BZ!!!1!!!!

Needless to say, he was still standing there yapping (I made note of the district) when I was done with the mission. Let's see, you're rude, you can't spell and you probably have the mental capacity of a five year old (and that's being nasty to five year olds). Yes, I'm going to join up with you!
Well, or maybe not.

The level of idiocy contained in mankind is astounding.

I'll be real honest. I've been playing GW since it's official release, and I have noticed that each time I go through the game with a new character, that the general level of intelligence declines each time. On my first char, it was fun, people were friendly, had an IQ above 20, and most importantly, didn't leave or go afk until the mission was over.

Now, it takes 20 minutes just to get a balanced group in the later missions, and you'll be lucky if one or two people don't leave half way through. All the while, the people that remain are aggroing 4 groups of enemies at once, bickering with each other over item drops, drawing useless crap all over the compass, and generally ensuring that the mission will end in failure.

I don't know how to fix this, short of finding a good PvE guild, but I'm already in a PvP one. This recent change in the player base has me having second thoughts about attempting to complete the game with a 4th PvE character.

I'm a level 20 Ranger/Monk, like long walks on the breach, candle lit dinners at Piken Square, and harrasing the local Charr into giving me little wooden statues of themselves.

I have a friendly guild of five, looking to build an "brady bunch" style family. I prefer turning down my music during play and pushing up the sound FX and my team speak client.

Hobbies include: Hating Gafar and his minions; looting corpses, collecting tangled seeds, and playing with fire (typically ignite arrows).

Looking for: male warrior with shining 15K armor and a max damage fire sword. Ability to cast Purge Condition a plus.

Call me.

LOL. What's your number / name, sexy?

hehe

I don't even know! I'd have to login to find out

CodeMonkey

I'm also available to help. Simply being in a group of people who have something to say is refreshing. You don't even have to speak in entire sentences lol!

I agree with you.
However, I do like to name my characters silly names. I love playing my warrior/necro, Teh Uberleet Haxxor. I was going to roleplay him :P, but it wasn't worth it. Then there are other, now deleted characters, like Captain Pwnsalot, Omfg Its A Monk Lol, and a couple of other names I forget. Point is, just because someone has that type of name doesn't mean they're unskilled noobs.

My character is Koa Nokomis. She's a tank, but a laid-back nice tank who simply wants to achieve the missions objectives and keep everyone alive. No rushing in. No screaming at monks if she dies. Tries to watch out for her spellcaster buddies. Invite her anytime...

--Nokomis

A truer word was never said! Whilst certain abreviations are OK when time is pressing I really despise it when people talk like they are writing an SMS text-message all the time. I wish there was a maturity filter you could just enable

Was that Save MeJebus? that guy's a badass.

I think I might have played a mission with Lord Badazz as well. If I did, great guy.

i think repetetive "team killers" should be blacklisted.
not here tho becouse its against the rules. see below.
RULES

Two chars as listed below:

(1) Lv 20 E/N Lord Arsene - hanging around Augury Rock trying to do the Elona & Thirsty River quests before ascension.

(2) Lv 20 Mo/Me Tanelle Johnson - hanging around Thunderhead Keep.

Ps. I'm on American Server, usually district 1.

Earlier this evening I called for a group of 3 people to attempt Frostgate. We won, and both players were really good, willing to work together.

If you can pull it, deliberately making small/biased groups will get you people who want to play the missions, not people who want to rush through.

For some reason, I have had extremely good luck with PUGs. I don't think I've run into more than a couple of truly stupid groups. The rest were pretty articulate, had decent manners, and were well-organized. They either elected a leader and target-caller, or they tacitly deferred to people who assumed this role. They got the job done. I feel fortunate to have been invited to join them.

On the other hand, there were those exceptions, and I must say that they were far more entertaining than annoying. You still try to do your best and all that, but watching them run off in different directions, aggroing mobs, getting lost ("WHER TEH F-- R U PEPOL?/") -- and then watching their health bars go down -- absolutely hilarious. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Anyway, my W/E 20 is named Nwah Swit. I'm working on the Ascension quests, but I'd be pleased to help -- or learn -- whenever or wherever I can.

I like using my level 20 monk (recently ascended) to help people on missions. I gain xp, items, personal knowledge/skills about gameplay strategies.

I only started the monk because i was sick of seeing a lack of them in later missions when i leveled up my ranger. It gives me great enjoyment to join a team, know i did a good job with the healing and help get several people on the path to ascendance (sp).

There are bad times but they are outweighed by the good.

I get annoyed by heroic incompetent groups, too. Lvl20 Aeromancer, Fayth of Flame, currently at molundane mines?

If you need any help, my first character beat the game (Mo/W), and all I am doing is running around capping the seven skills I haven't gotten as monk...usually I can help anytime

mandarth, maybe you can help me as i get into harder quests?

good groups go on my friend's list. bad go on my ignore list. hmmm, i have mentioned that we need longer ignore lists? maybe we could do an ignore by guild name?

Lord Malikai. 20 W/E, beat the game. Leroy Jenkins is my hero. It's all about being the first one in to battle, the first to taste blood, whether it be your enemies or your own. Casters in panties and leather have no place on the battlefield. This is a place for men. Stay back, way back and let the real men do the job. You guys are all sounding like pansies to me, waiting around and trying to woo the mobs into coming to you. Screw that, go to them, lay waste to their town, loot their corpses and enslave their women!

/sarcasm off

I really do think that's what goes through some warriors heads.
