eating crow

i'm taking back all the negative things i've said about rnd's. the last 3 days i've had nothing but good rnd's, except for one turd who laughed at me when i asked not to do a speed run than ran off. it also helped when i asked if anyone needs the quest for that dungeon at the start of the dungeon. i hope this trend continues (at least for the upcoming event).

Traditionally, I get good groups. But it has its ups and downs. The couple of weeks prior to this I was getting bad groups. Lots of fake tank, fake healer, fake dps, fake everything. Now this week groups are suddenly good again. What that corresponds to, if anything, I don’t know.

For me it seems like folks don’t like a tank in rnd. I’m a real tank and group won’t wait 2 seconds for me to get taunt. Seems that at least one is always running ahead and aggroing everything in sight. Sigh.

Typically, I go as quick as possible in regards to random normal dungeons, unless someone speaks up when I ask if there is a quest in the group.

In all of the normal dungeons, a taunt makes things smoother, but won't make or break the run, and isn't entirely needed.

If I know that we have a quest in the group, I will still go quickly, but wait at each talking point for the quest. Most groups I get into do this.

When it comes to random normal dungeons, without a premade group, I assume we're going full tilt, and the one that runs ahead of me even is usually the fake tank that isn't pulling his own weight at dps even.

I think a lot of groups want a taunt but don't want to wait for adds to gathered carefully.

Not me. I have quit even easy dungeons because of the fake tank not pulling adds together. I’m not going after every little pissant add separately.

I make sure to give the tank time to gather adds.

The Blackfeather Court strongly condemn eating crows.

I'm not going to take the risk. I'm not signing up for the event, I'll go and do regular stuff instead.

In an non dlc rnd with average dps stuff dies in seconds anyway.

Now in an organized group you could just pull trash and then kill. But you kill faster than you they run unless pulling onto an boss. And teaching pugs this take longer than kill everything.

its the nature of random lol

i pretty much only queue as a tank into dungeons because less time waiting in the queue lol, i refuse to fake role though so i play an actual tank that can do like 8-12k dps
