I don't expect or even fantasize that a Pug formed from Group Finder for Random, or even a Pledge, will communicate or listen. It does happen, but its rare.

If I want a group that communicates, I do so with a group from one of my guilds.

Sad commentary on contemporary gaming climent.

I once thanked a tank with no taunt for wasting everyone's time. But usually if a pug is broken with no chance of working out I'll just leave.

Turn that frown upside down! The Good, the Bad, and the Pugly:

When I start to get frustrated, I start taking some mental notes and possibly make it into a funny story. Some people are so bad its funny - just maybe not when the story takes place, or for all parties involved.

Out of the three roles, I find healer to be the most stressful. Adds can't ignore taunts or damage, while some people just can't get out of the way.

Nope . The rage never escapes the finger tips here .

I just leave if it's frustrating not gonna tell anyone off or anything.

Meh before i lose my chill i will just leave.

One time though i qued up as dps for vet random found a group we started. It was going ok but i kept getting aggro and having to heal. Not really thinking much of it we continued. At the first boss is when i realized we had no healer or tank. Just high level dps that qued as healer and tank. I figured meh whatever it was wayrest so what, we can do this. Well ...we got to the final boss and everyone kept getting one hit..... i would be the last one alive trying to revive just for them to get one hit again.

I knew we could have done it if i really tried. I was on my stam warden and slotted vigor and fungal spores and was dps'ing tanking and healing. After the 2nd wipe i decided it wasnt worth the headache because these fools couldn't stay alive. i just left.

I've lost it. Hard-core. Tank with no taunt, dps queueing as tanks, etc etc.

When it's a normal pledge and I'm on my max toons, I'll simply solo the boss myself while adding commentary during the fight. "This is how we roll. This is what we block. DPS should kill adds."

I really only play tanks and healz so I kinda get to do what I want.

Why do people expect randoms to listen to them and get upset when they don't listen? If you want to always have successful and efficient runs join a guild or group of like minded players. Save yourself the unneeded frustration if you are not built to handle it. . .

I have a guild. Really great people. Mostly maxed level. And ya the group finder has its problems. But honestly I've learned its quicker to get into a normal dungeon with the que then it is to ask a bunch of end gamers to run you through.

No. I've never lost my chill. I stay fresh to death.

Nope. I assume that every time I queue I am going to be running with people who have never run that dungeon before. I only use the group tool for normal dailies so I know that if people are struggling, I can pick up the slack and carry the group through. I save vet runs for friends and guild.

I main heals and spend the vast majority of my time in dungeons, it's just what I like doing. I run dungeons back to back if I'm online. I've seen every sort of bad player you can think of, multiple times over. Tanks not taunting, tanks who just aren't tanks at all, crazy high cp dps who would be put to shame by a lvl 10 brand new to the game dps. Dps who intentionally run into the red one shot mechanics or just stand still during boss fights. Dps who only light attack during boss fights. Tanks with bows that only light attack. Players who call out mechanics incorrectly and then get mad at everyone else when they keep dying over and over.

Most of the time I see it as good training. I got to the point where I could heal stupid a long time ago, so I'll usually let things ride. But every now and then I'll get a bit pissy at a player (usually because of their attitude, and when they're the worst person on the team). Then I'll vote kick.
