Doing randoms \/ a raid, has been less than pleasant today. Started off like any normal day. I logged in, Jack logged in, we did TBP. We both hate the same dailies. And we did Hyjal and MF (yeah, Jack is now into the Hyjal\/MF dailies like I am).<\/p>\n
This time, the daily named “Punting Season” is going on. I’m waiting for him to grab the dailies while in my dragon form, then he leaves without jumping on my back so we can do them together. So he’s in one area and I’m in another. I get finished first, and do the one of killing a clone of Nemesis. I ask Jack if he was done, go to help him with the last one. He grabs a turtle and suddenly forgets what he’s supposed to do with it. I nearly blow a fuse since we could of done this together, and he’s wasting my time.<\/p>\n
After punting, he almost pulls an Angry and nearly goes AFK on me, saying he’s gotta eat. I take him to Nemesis in hopes he’ll help me, then turn in the quests. And he goes AFK during the encounter, and dies from the attacks. He’s now a ghost, still AFK in the graveyard. So I’m like “fuck it. I got dailies to do” and go to do mine. Later on he comes back and tells me the ones I killed, he got credit. So I won’t have to do them for him. So that’s good.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, Blacksoul PM’s me and asks if I want to do ICC (which is killing the Lich King, I think). I agree. He tries to get a raid going, but is failing. He invites Terlarer who starts talking about he wants to do Uldar to get a sword, and starts spamming items for us to see. Seeing how I’ve never done it, I agree to this and Ter becomes the leader. And finally we go there with three people. Me, him, and a healer. Uldar is fun at the start. You get to control one of two steam tanks; a Demolisher, or a Siege Tank. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I got control of a Demolisher and went to town with that thing, throwing boulders at everything I saw.<\/p>\n
About ten minutes later, we’re going on foot. Wiped at the second boss. Ter has to go, and we leave. Time to do my random. So I fire it up, and get a fresh run for Grim Batol.
\nWe start like any other run. No one talks. They grab the quests. I wait by the doorway to start killing. But after doing the part where your group is on a bunch of red drakes and bombing the mobs to weaken them to make them easier to kill, the tank starts pulling everything he can for some unknown reason. I yell at him, yet no one else seems to care about it.<\/p>\n
But here is where hell erupted in my face (literally). After killing the second boss, I tell the healer that she’s a damn good one. Suddenly, the tank speaks up about my gear not being so good. Then… then I just snap and say “Watch it…”. I have had it up to HERE with the insults about my gear!! So I’m doing my best for the group to just shut up and let me do my job, and work as a team. .. Ohh. They worked as a team alright. They worked to piss me off, with the tank deliberately sending mobs my way so I’ll die, then blaming me for it. One time they called me a “meat shield”.<\/p>\n
One time I could of sworn I had the group acting normally again. We get to the third boss and the tank just blindly runs after him. I say “How about you wait for the others..”. He answers a little later with “How about you suck my dick?”, followed by “LOL” from the healer.<\/p>\n
Then they start it up again, with the tank bringing the boss over to me so I can’t attack him ranged. The healer refuses to heal me and they just let me die again, and they congratulate themselves for “working as a team”. By then I leave. I’m sure they had their shits and giggles and were saying “what a fail hunter!” after I left, and found a better one and talked about what a failure I am.<\/p>\n
*sigh* I did make it up after doing a successful Lost City of Tol’Vir run. And they didn’t bitch about my gear. I just did my job as a Hunter.
\nBut it’s like almost every fucking time I get into GB, I get insulted about my gear. Sometimes, I’m in a fun group where they’re so busy laughing at eachother that they don’t notice my DPS.<\/p>\n
The point of doing randoms is to get gear, right? You get Justice Points for doing them. Yet some assholes like them expect you to just.. become elite like the snap of a finger. I even told them that no one can be elite right out of the box, and one says that I’m living proof.<\/p>\n
I’m actually thinking about joining a dungeon guild, where they will accept me and we can do runs (instead of ones with assholes). But I don’t want to be tied down. Hard to tie down a true soloer. Plus, I have to bend for them. And no drama. That’s why I’m in my own guild. But I don’t know if I can do this on my own anymore. I’ll just have to tolerate the ‘bad apples’ and continue getting marks to buy gear with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
