The “removal,” of server reputation mattering

But yeah, I remember the old days of hanging out in Ironforge/Orgrimmar spamming trade chat trying to get groups together… not fun. Given the lower number of players now, getting PuGs together that way would be truly awful.

People say this and never wonder WHY. I was a tank and my brother in law a healer, along with my sister we needed two dps for our dailies my heroics in TBC and we had a nice list of reliable/ good dps that I assure you never had to wait because I would run with them if they ever whispered me even alone.

People who had to wait that long, even as dps should look in the mirror. Were you bossy? Did you refuse to do CC? Was there another reason that once a group ran with you they didn’t add you to run with again later?

False. Even the smallest servers were too populated for this to be a thing. For every person who knew about the problematic player, there were hundreds more who didn’t know their reputation or simply didn’t care. You and your circle of acquaintances may have shunned that player, but the group of you were a tiny drop in the ocean of server population that didn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

I guess everyone will have their own memories of this, I know during TBC there were only two regular pug groups that did Mag’s Lair and Gruul… if you were a jerk in those you’d be stuck spending hours trying to build and lead your own.
