So this is just venting really, I don’t expect anyone who does this to read it… or if they do no one will change their ways lol.
Pulling before the tanks arrive in LFR. For whatever reason, but they were doing something in town, but they got distracted on the way to the boss, etc it’s hilarious when someone pulls and locks a tank out. Great now the fight will go on for 4-5 minutes and if it doesn’t have a tank swap you’re probably fine to 1 tank it… but I’ve actually seen it happen against the Dino and ape. You aren’t one tanking that.
Pulling a fourth pack in Timewalking when the tank already had three. There’s probably a reason the tank stopped with that much, if it’s tbc it’s because of stuns. I get it no one wants a tank who pulls one pack at a time that’s boring. But if the tank is pulling fast he doesn’t need your help to pull faster. Grats now the tank got stun locked and goes down leading to a wipe. Your 5 minute TW dungeon just went to 8 congrats.
Going into the ´10 items or less Express’ line at the market when they have 45 items and another 18 under the basket. Are they just ignorant that they don’t see the flashing sign lit up saying 10 ITEMS OR LESS? Or do they really know and are just ‘playing dumb’ so they don’t have to wait in the line they should be in with the other hoarders? I mean cmon, sometimes you need to get in and out and these people keep ruining my experience every damn time.
Our grocery stores stopped doing this. There’s just self checkout with the tiny space, self checkout with the conveyor belt or regular checkout with people to help you.
They realized how futile it was to attempt a limit on people. lol
It’s always trash/death skips in raid. Spend 10 minutes wiping and waiting for everything to stop evading and reset when we could have just killed the trash in 5 and been done with it. I hate that crap with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
The mechagon second last pack skip is my favorite time waster. When I tank it I always say let’s just kill it. Someone usually a lock or a rogue always without fail suggests nah let’s skip. And lo and behold everything gets pulled and wipe. Wipe. Wipe. Oh you died? Better run back to keep everyone in combat. Wipe.
Literally takes maybe 90 seconds to kill that pack with a decent group.
An LFR raid can kill the single mob before gallywix in less than a minute.
Yet 9 times out of 10, half the raid avoids it and jumps down, one dude agros it, then everyone waits while a few players left up top slowly grind it down.
That’s gotta be a cop out. They don’t like confrontation. Doesn’t happen often but I have seen the checker send some over to other lines, at least at my local.
This can also happen in M+. sometimes it is because the DPS is geared to handle more, but the tank has no clue that is the case or is set in the ways that have seen the key timed at lower levels before. Like in Motherload, maybe if the 3 packs has at least one mech pilot, the tank has seen that mob activate the mech before, more so if there is more then one.
One thing to keep in mind in PuGs is that sometimes the tank, or others, know things hat the others, or tank, do not know and it is quite idiotic to assume that everyone is on the same page.
Now, once you get to a certain key level that one of my characters is absolutely starting to engage with these skips actually are necessary, but these damn Shadowmeld skips in dungeons like Floodgate.
The only thing more infuriating than some moron screwing up the Bubbles skip is doing the Bubbles skip correctly only for some moron to screw up the double Jumpstarter skip after that and then your Meld’s on cooldown and you have to go through Bubbles AND the double Jumpstarter pack to get to the last boss.
I’ve cursed out like three tanks that screwed up the Jumpstarter or Bubbles skips in 16 pugs already because there’s nothing more frustrating than having a smooth run on 2-chest pace go south on the literal last pull or two of the whole dungeon.
As someone who worked as cashier on the express lane and seen people sneak in with +10 items and the ensuing chaos of someone getting upset. Luckily, we had everyone cross trained and just opened up another register
One store near my place sent people to the proper line when they were obviously way over the limit. It must have cost them money, but dang it was fun to watch.
