Almost everytime I join or form a BRD group, someone, usually a hunter, always joins thinking we’re doing arena/angerforge only groups and tends to leave when it turns out we’re not. Or someone converts into just Arena runs. Even though in both cases it’s advertised as a full run in chat channels.
I feel people completely tunnel vision and forget other classes BiS items are all over the instance, not just in Arena or at Angerforge, and it’s pretty annoying. If you want to find a group to do arena, do that, but don’t join another group then decide you just want to arena.
On my realm most groups advertise exactly what type of BRD run they’re doing (Arena farm, Angerforge/Argelmach, Emp (Save/Kill Princess), Jailbreak/Crumpled Note, Quest run, full clear).
I’m surprised to hear that’s not a common thing elsewhere.
Also if you’re passing Arena during your run, I don’t see why you’d skip it. It’s 2 minutes.
I did it in the one clear I did there while leveling but the rings are really crappy for a quest of that level, especially for the amount of time it takes to escort him.
I don’t know why people keep assuming this. Never said anything about skipping arena. I’m talking about people joining the group and demanding we ONLY do arena.
I find the same thing happens in ZF where many players think it’s just a zombie farm run even when it’s posted as a full clear. People just don’t read I guess.
People make these mistakes all the time. It’s not going to stop. It happens even in retail where the group finder has everything written down. And yet people still join the wrong group.
