Default My reaction whenever I get in a group and the tank says they have to leave shortly

some people just can't sit there and grind for hours sometimes, something called RL nahmsayin, pa? either that or your group sucks.

Yesterday I got home from work and had some time before the wife got home. So I fire up EQ and log on my alt paladin. Before I finish loading, I get a tell "you LFG?" I respond with "Maybe, but I won't be on for more than an hour." I end up finding the person who sent the tell on my way into the main floor of Unrest's manor, its a shaman with a rogue, ranger, and enchanter nearby. I end up joining them and we break into MR easily and I start pulling the adjoining rooms. On one of my pulls the enchanter overaggroes (nuking I think) and the skeleton tears off out of the room, around the hallway, and comes in the back entrance to pound on the enchanter while aggroing the brewer's room. We slowly pick them off, the enchanter decides to run for it because the shaman and chanter are OOM and I'm at 150/1130hps (I had natureskin from the last time I was on apparantly), and we've got two mobs left in camp. I finish tanking the last two mobs and the enchanters pet aggroes back when he zones and brings another skeleton with him. So I tank those last two down, the shaman purple clubs me (he is OOM after all), and we all finish alive. About then my wife gets home, I tell the group I have to leave and everyone is thankful for my help in breaking the room and keeping calm while hell was breaking loose.

I played for less than a half hour yesterday, but I got a very rewarding experience out of my time and the ranger even dinged 17 (yay dual wield!). I hope the group managed to stay together for some time and keep MR cleared, but this tank was very up front about not being able to tank for long.

I need to start doing that. I turn down many a group because I am unsure of my time...

Sounds like you should just roll a tank

Love that Unrest camp, until some L22-23 dude turns up wanting to solo light blues/greens and takes all the spawns away from outside of MR...people need to know when to move on!

i always give people timeframes when i join anything. it let's me bounce scott-free if some dudes really suck and it let's me act the hero if i tell them 'turns out i can stay let's rejoice!'

complete win-win scenario for me.

This thread is the kind of shit that happens when you promote on Reddit.
