Group of trolls wasting people's time in NORMAL dungeons.

zvavi · March 2019

i might be actually a culprit, when i run dungeons with few guildies sometimes, we end up talking a bit before trash pulls, and taking our time, on the other hand i also charged into mobs while the same guildies were taking a chest/ trading/ talking, so as someone who has been on both sides of it, i think it is fine, even if i die during the pull, or make someone wait. it happens, groups are not always compatible, some people might be talking to npc's for the story in a dungeon, it aint trolling.

when you are signing for queue, you have to be ready to carry noobs through the dungeon. explain mechanics even. if you dont feel like it, then queue only with guildies.

also i am known to be an impatient player, so i even on my healer i end up charging first

, at least on normals. i have learnt some self control for vDLC

it aint a speedrun group. if you complain about random normal, then post in zone chat "lfm rn ->fg1" if you want it to go fast and "not waste time" or something.

So you ran into the same group of 3 people in 2 dungeons and from this you assumed they're trolling? It's entirely possible that the tank has spent a long time questing through the overland content and doing dailies and is now trying the dungeons for the first time with more experienced friends. There are a lot of people who are hesitant about group content, some don't touch it for years, and there are a lot of players who want or need to take things slow.

I'm sorry but you don't stop for 30 seconds or longer between every pull including trash pulls. You also don't sneak through the dungeon when you're the tank. They were trolling.

I typed this exact question "Are you wasting people's time for fun or what's going on?". The answer was, "for fun". I just left. Got them about 30 mins later in a different dungeon and left a couple of pulls in because they were doing the same thing.

Either way i don't care. It's in the past. I do find it to be a pretty shameful behavior to be doing that to other people, and honestly to themselves. Find a better hobby.

Snarky questions beget snarky answers. A wise friend of mine once said, "If you don't like the reaction, watch your action."

1000 cp noob tank sneaking around in a normal dungeon sounds legit

Then they need 4th member like them so they may explore and enjoy group content together. Why some random person should wait and yawn while they are chit-chatting in discord and discussing what they eat on breakfast?

Sure, maybe they do, but they're not the ones on the forum complaining about the healer who wouldn't let them dungeon in peace and kept trying to rush them through it. Why should those 3 have their experience disrupted by this random person? It goes both ways, and if they were here complaining about the OP's behaviour I'd tell them the exact same thing. Random is random. You don't know what you're getting. If you can't live with that, don't use group finder.

Why do you think your time is more valuable than theirs, or that your hobby of rushing through dungeons is superior? Why do you assume they understood your question? Maybe English is not their first language and they genuinely thought you were asking if they were doing the dungeon for fun, maybe they thought you were telling them they were wasting their own time. If you'd kept encountering them multiple times over multiple days, including in the same dungeons on different days, I'd give you trolling, but as you've described the situation, I'm not convinced anyone's trolling here.

Very good points. Especially since OP seems to have only run into this group once the entire idea of the OP is undermined, let alone OP really has no idea if what these guys said were true or not.

The OP is just fabricated because the whole situation was inconvenient for OP>

What is alt f4?

ALT F4 is windows keyboard shortcut for quit focused application. So if your focused app is the game, that keyboard shortcut will quit the game immediately. Not generally a good idea....
Better than force-quitting windows itself, but not by much.

What's bad in it?

@MartiniDaniels
It's bad because it's a forced quit and if your application is currently writing to disk it can corrupt whatever files it was writing to and can even corrupt the file system on your harddrive.

How do you know they are over 1000 CP?

I rarely solo queue for dungeons, usually I queue with a friend if we choose not to 2 man them. Rather than waste time in bad groups, leave or vote to kick, easy solution.

Castagere · March 2019

Thank God I can solo them now.

vamp_emily · March 2019

A CP 24000 Warden was chasing me around in BG ( trolling ). What should I do?
1. Tell my father
2. Create a thread
3. Rage quit

Be on the look out for a big fat green orc warden if you play BG. He might troll you too.

Maybe they were just role playing.

Well, I'm almost at CP600, and I still didn't do any dungeons in the game. If I will go in one, I will be an absolute newbie there...

just solo it, you're asking for too much if you expect randoms to do *** all thats useful in a normal.

I'm a CP310 solo player who has avoided PUGS like the plague because to run into just one impatient player with the same attitude as OP would keep me from ever wanting to run a dungeon in ESO again. For the record, I have only run one dungeon to date, and with only one other player - CoA normal and both of us at CP 200 - took us over 2 hours and many soul gems - so I technically don't know how to run a 4 man dungeon. Someday, hopefully somebody will teach me..and that day, I hope OP is elsewhere.

Assumptions of player knowledge/experience based on CP in particular contexts such as dungeons, even normal dungeons, is narrow-minded and potentially detrimental to another player's gaming experience. Threads like these are why I haven't tried to find a group to do a second dungeon run, 6 weeks and over 100CP down the line from the first.

If you're on PC EU and want some company to try a normal dungeon run with a CP310 practically absolute newbie who has only done one dungeon, maybe we can have a few laughs! AT CP600, you don't even need me

LOL My in game username is @MorganaBlue, drop me a note anytime if you feel like it

Just solo it yourself.

There's a group of players, all over 1000cp, claiming to be new to whatever dungeon they join. Then they proceed to wait 30 seconds to a minute between each pull. The tank will not run through the dungeon, he/she will sneak. When you ask them why the holdup? They claim they're explaining mechanics. Again, a NORMAL dungeon, and apparently explaining trash pull mechanics.

Can't name them, because apparently calling out trolls is considered "naming and shaming" or whatever they call it. Just wanted to share my experience with this certain group, that's all.

Wait this was your once-in-a-lifetime chance to go full on countertrolling and you passed on it ??

Next time get some popcorn, pour a glass of wine and when they pull, go stand in stupid light attacking until it kills you. When they finally start asking why you keep dying tell them you don't understand the mechanics and ask them to re-explain them for you this time...

=P

Majority rules in the PUG - Avoid the unmanageable and manage the unavoidable.

I assume the only reason you used group finder was for the reward (xp or items) for doing a random, otherwise you could just solo a normal.

So the solution to that is to ask in your guilds or zone "LF3M fast random normal run for xp bonus"

Get 3 like minded people to join you and burn through it quickly.
