Time for me to head out, after this pull.

7th time reading that since starting here on P99 last week.

Did we forget to give a warning or something? You know, finding replacements and whatnot? I guess its better than just randomly dropping, which seems to happen even more frequently. My "never group with again" list keeps filling up.

Sometimes things come up unexpectedly (why I tend to solo and stick to FD classes with young kids who wake up in the middle of the night myself), which is probably what happens in most these cases (or even in game related, if a guild needs to quickly tackle a rare spawn etc.).

If you set the party up so you have 2 classes capable of healing (even crappy heals) or 2 capable of tanking, other than a deep dungeon party, something like an OT group can chug along fine (even with fast drops) imho.

You started playing a week ago. Not trying to be a dick, but maybe you're the one who needs to lighten up a bit. You're grouping with other low level players, many of whom may be new to the game, server or genre. Blacklisting a level 7 who didn't give you enough time to find a replacement at orc 2 seems a bit harsh.

Half the dicks that drop group are semi twinked or twinked out to be honest, basically not their first character. It's pretty easy to tell who take it seriously and who doesn't really care. I'm not asking for professional players just some awareness and courtesy and that's where I draw the line. Treat others how you want to be treated, etc. If someone is just muddling through I will pass on grouping with them again.

I get what you're saying, but some of us just aren't in the same situations we were back in live. Many of us are now dealing with spouse faction, children, work and sometimes you just don't have time to give much of a heads up.

I guess I'm saying the community you knew on live is a bit less hardcore here for the most part, a great deal of us are a little older, have a lot less time, and a lot more stuff to deal with than we did back in the day, stuff that may require you to get up immediately rather than giving a "next pull I'm out" heads up.

I'm sure that blacklist is gonna hold when that ragebringer rogue twink you blacklisted a week ago is LFG and your group is short on DPS.

That's what he gets for MQing his epic at 12 anyway.

"Time for me to head out and disband party without warning now that I got my alpha loot, or now that I won the cash drop for the camp."

10 minutes later...

LFG.

I wouldn't expect much from the people who play mmorpgs today, this server is no different. Decency is dead, it's not a matter of people being more busy today than they were 15 years ago, that's a cop out. It's a matter of people not caring enough to give any kind of advanced warning. Here's an idea.. how about...

"Hey guys I only have a half an hour, do you still want me for the party?"

OR..

"Hey guys, I might have to go at any time if X circumstance arises."

NOPE.. that's too much to ask. Right?
