Help! My BNET Friend Is The Worst Hunter Ever

When I play my hunter I will usually barely use abilities. Send pet, serpent sting and melee auto it to death due to my bow being real bad.

Just play by yourself and leave the other player in the dust.

be patient, if they’re actually your friend you should have some leeway.

My good buddy got to rank 13 in vanilla as a keyboard turner :man_shrugging:

Just teach him/her the most essential skill of the nightelf: dancing on mailboxes for gold.

I’m not trolling. I think it’s ridiculous to judge a friend based on their gaming ability in anyway, shape or form. Friendship means so much more than that

A “BNET friend” is not necessarily an IRL friend or even an online “friend”. It’s a description of a contact. The OP owes nothing to the “BNET friend” described in his post.

In battle.net you can select to appear offline. Do that,

Just another reason I don’t add anyone to battlenet.

On that note, typing bad is not a crime, it just makes it harder to communicate. The question I would have is why he types in broken english. By the way, that does not make him an American just because he doesn’t know another language. Australians use English as well just as one example, there are a LOT of other countries who do.

Is this an adult you are playing with or a kid? I know you said he has a 110 in Legion, but…that means nothing.

Could be a parents account and player where the parent doesn’t play anymore. Could be a siblings account on the parents account who started over with their own account. could be a lot of reasons. If you never played with them in Legion, which you say you have no high level toons, so would be the case, you have no idea how he plays that character.

He could do nothing but fish in lower level lands. Being a kid also would explain the bad typing.

It’s up to you what you do but finding out why he plays like he does would be helpful in knowing what to do. It’s one thing to say ‘do you have…’ vs saying, ‘why aren’t you using…’. Have you ever actually asked him? Not in the middle of a fight, but when you are in an area where you can actually communicate with him?

Again, up to you what you do, but finding out why would be the first step if you ask me. At least then you can choose your future path. That may well be taking him off bnet and possibly blocking him, or starting a new toon yourself once you remove the btag, OR it could mean taking the time to really work with him on how and why to use each skill, but that again, requires patience and the ability of the player to actually keep up with what you are saying.

I have a tendency to type fast, and that is bad when you have someone with a hard time typing or reading, as many kids may have.

I’m definitely leaning towards it being a younger kid. While I have no desire to ‘babysit’ in the game, at least I would feel better knowing he isn’t being preyed on when he was with me.

That’s another problem and only proves my point more. Internet friends. It’s so fake. I don’t care if they are only online they are real people. I wish I knew this person the OP plays with so I can tell them.
