So one guy not doing his rotation right made the whole group fall apart? I doubt that very much

Idk, Maw is one of those places where one person can really screw things up.

Maw is the perfect place where 1 person can whipe a group. Mechanics there cause your team to die vs yourself.

I'm not going to name names, but I wanted to share how one person's spite ruined a chance for me to clear vet Maw of Lorkhaj purely out of spite.

So, for like the past 6 months, I've been delving in serious pve, like trials and whatnot. Ever since a friend brought me to my first run in vSO (which was kind of a carry cuz I didn't know what I was doing), I fell in love with the stuff that goes on in vet trials and more serious end-game. And with that, I've been steadily getting better and better, completing everything up to vet Maw. I've had all sorts of help from friends who've helped me get better with my DPS and everything. I'm still a little slow with reaction time and whatnot because I can't afford a new computer and have some issues physically and mentally, but this hasn't stopped me from enjoying pve. Until I got into a serious rut with clearing Maw. I've joined training runs, and overall I know the mechanics fairly well. Even on Rakkhat, who I've been on twice, but his mechanics aren't all that hard. The twins I have down pretty well. But here's where the issues started. The runs I usually joined give up on the twins after awhile, and I understand that they're pretty dang hard. Probably the hardest bosses in the game. And these runs are usually training runs, but they're usually the only runs I can get onto for Maw. Most people prefer experienced or core groups to do Maw. Anywho, during all these runs and whatnot, I had a fallout with one person. I admit I did not react well, but that was due to lack of medication and my severe anxiety, which means somewhat stressful encounters can really go over the top. I left the guild they were in, and I generally avoided doing stuff with them (and I still do). Well, one day, a friend of mine offered me to get my clear, cause he was in the core group and someone left, so they pulled me in Rakkhat. I was excited as heck. I could finally get my clear. Well, guess who was in the group. The person I had a falling out with. I didn't think much of it at the time because there were 10 other really good people. Well, after several pulls, we didn't clear and quit. Sure, I was bummed, but at the time, I just thought that people were tired and didn't wanna carry on. Well!! Soon after, I learned that we didn't clear because the one person I had issues with purposely ruined their rotation so I couldn't get my clear purely out of spite. Now I thought, why?? Why would someone do this? I mean, the most I would do out of spite is maybe chuck a mudball or two at them, but never ruin a clear at vet Maw. After that, I've been having a hard time finding a group that would actually help me clear rather than just training runs. Training runs only go so far. And with Morrowind coming early to PC, I'm extremely stressed about getting my clear beforehand, cuz I know my DPS is only going to go down with all the nerfs. I had one chance to actually clear, but one petty person decided to ruin it because they didn't like me.

Edit: Besides the rotation, I'm 98% sure this person purposely did not grab pads during execute phase and possibly did some othe BS.

If he knows the friend he talked to was a mutual friend, he could have said so assuming the friend would let you know.

By doing that, regardless if he actually did it or not, he would mess with you head, put himself in a position of power over you and make himself look like a more competent player than he actually is.
