The amount that Brann pulls and how much he stands in crap…that AI is a little too realistic to be able to escape

i make mistakes in keys all the time and basically never get any guff about it. last night i was healing a 10 mists and messed up on the maze not once but twice. i laughed at myself and somebody else laughed too. we still timed easily and nobody cared.

Not really, no. It’s the nature of dealing with the gremlins that populate the internet. Close their options to abuse with one door and they find the one you opened to continue with the same behavior.
I straight forgot where I was and what I was doing in a +8 SV last night and died twice on the last boss after having a decent run before that.
Group swept it up and I was half expecting to hear about it, then…“Want to do that +10 GB I just got?”

I don’t see it but it could be my brain’s wiring… However for someone learning, they can be a good step.

WoW has always been a cesspit of elitists. Dungeon Finder and Mythic dungeons just gives them a place to gather easily.

A lot of talk about “they” in this thread.
i get your point but you cant blame the knife company when someone goes on a stabbing spree…or the car maker when some jerkwad runs a family in an SUV off the road so he can get where hes going 2.4 seconds earlier.
Bliz gave the kiddies the matches…but the house dont get burned down unless the kiddies abuse the matches.
I was kicked for playing panda years ago.
More recently I had my fingers on the wrong row of keys and let loose Barrage accidently on a few mobs and almost caused a wipe. the group was totally cool about it and I apologized and we had a laugh.
Different group, different day, different experience.

i think one of the things missing from this discussion is that you get a lot of leeway for mistakes if you’re mostly doing things right. nobody is perfect at any level of play and nobody expects perfection. if you’re doing 2M overall dps in an 8 and surviving, but miss a single kick, nobody is going to cyberbully you. if you’re doing 400K overall dps and dying on every pull, you may get some flak for it.

And a social aspect to gaming can be fun, you are not entitled to someone else’s time.
I can’t believe how many threads on being angry about vote kick there are.
This is something you should be learning as a child; nobody HAS to play with you.

The funny thing is… why is your time - or anyone else’s for that matter - so important that it becomes “owed” in any way?
This is a sign that the game in general is being taken too seriously. If your time spent playing has any value beyond the enjoyment of the activity itself, then it has ceased being a game being played “for fun”.

Brann is just like every other PUG
Trashtalks your DPS
“Next time, let’s use some harder hittin moves”
Tells you to move before you even got hit
“Don’t stand there!!!”
Starts herbing when you are fighting for your life
“Brann begins herb gathering.”
U Need?!!
“Nice find!!!”
Keeps hinting that the tank can pull more when he uses his CDs
“ I’m going all out!”
Calls you ugly
“You’re looking a bit rough!”
Feels the needs to tell everyone when he interrupts
“They’ll nae be using that move!”
Leaves the group as soon as there is one wipe
Brann has left the instance group
I stole this

I’m noticing that healers are being coddled by Brann. Would be fun if he had a line about looking for bandages or something.

Why do you get to determine what is fun to anyone or how they feel about their most valuable resource (time)?
Heroic yeah but probably not Mythic or M+.

I’d hold off on saying never but I don’t imagine it being any time in the near future.

Going by the constant whining about lack of tanks/healers for M+ pugs…
You will still get told to look at a guide for premade group content in XIV unless the groups says blind. People also do blind send it groups in WoW. Most XIV players won’t be elitist to your face. They go to TalesfromDF to talk trash about how you spent a GCD on a heal.

I didn’t say anything about what people find fun. That’s a subjective point.
But your defensive reaction suggests that that WoW is more than “just fun” for you.
That’s the point I’m getting at here… and it does tie back to the point raised at the start of the topic as well. WoW is a game that is taken FAR more seriously than what would be considered “normal”, and the observations of player behaviour strongly imply that it’s more than just something they do “for fun”.

I think I misread what you said. My apologies.
