Today I left another key. This was a +8 on this character, which is an alt this season. It was a motherlode.
We approached the second boss, run is going well, lust just came off cd shortly before the boss. There is a carry in the group, apparently, a dk doing tank dmg, but it’s a low key so it’s whatever.
The mage doesn’t lust. I ask the mage to lust about 3x during the second boss. He does not lust, and does not respond. I assume he will respond after the fight is over. I play lust classes myself all the time on alts, and sometimes you hit the button a second or two early and then you’re screwed. So now the fight is over and I ask him why he didn’t lust. He does not respond again. So I leave the key.
A dps warrior that was in the group whispers me and instantly ignores me like a 5 year old. Something about enjoy my vacation, etc. So I actually switched characters to try to talk to him and gain understanding of why he was only angry with me and not the mage. He basically gave me one sentence before blocking me again, where he said basically that nothing matters but the person leaving. Almost as if no matter what another player is or is not doing, if he can he carried, we have to carry him once we’re in the group.
Sounds to me you’re to much entitled. Just make sure to post all your toons so people can blacklist you when pugin, because based on your description you are completely unreliable
So much to unpack there. You killed the boss, and the run was going smoothly prior to that, assuming there was still time to time it from what you said, but you left anyway because someone didn’t do what you wanted? Why do people tell on themselves and make these kind of posts.
So you had a tantrum and left a group because someone else didn’t use their spell when you wanted them to… then you broke the rules by swapping characters to get around an ignore
Elitist gets angry that mage ignored their backseating attempts and then openly admits they engaged in Harassment of another player therefore breaking the TOS on the forums. Can’t make this up.
Leaving because someone is being bad / unoptimal in a key that is clearly going well enough to time is 100% a problem, whether you want to admit that or not.
Should they have lusted?
Yeah.
Is it frustrating to end up with a dead weight player in the group?
Yep.
But you leave when things get toxic or when the run goes (ideally unrecoverably) south.
Killing the boss marginally slower because someone didn’t pop their CD is not going south.
There’s leeway for where that line is for different people, but “oh no it took slightly longer, as if we brought a Warlock instead of a Mage!” is not crossing it for a sane person.
What you experienced is grounds to note their name and avoid them in the future – not for bricking the run for everyone involved.
I can get being frustrated, but what you’re looking at there is most likely someone who was on comms with a guildie or was terrified to pug and wasn’t looking at party chat during the boss fight.
Maybe the guy was told by the tank to reserve lust for third boss (which can intimidate some people).
Maybe they were reserving lust for accidental butt pulls in the trash or the tank wanted to zerg the post-mincart trash to make it go faster and buy time for the bomb hill.
Maybe a lot of things.
You bricked a key that was going smoothly because someone had the temerity to disobey an order from a stranger in his pug group and then chose not to explain himself afterward. Then, you deliberately circumvented an ingame ignore from these people to continue demanding they comply with what you wanted.
I mean you made it make sense for yourself, you got mad someone didn’t, do what you wanted them to. You felt completely entitled to their own abilities, and when you didn’t get your way you bricked a viable run. You honestly sound like a toddler if everything you said was true, might be a good idea to take a break for a bit from the game. If you are getting this wound up over something trivial like lust in a non push key.
