Things you don’t want to hear from pugs

Jan28

There’s a thread on the WoW healer forums about things you don’t want to hear from pugs, which ended up turning into a horror story swap. I have to say as dps, I think I have more bad stories since I have the possibility of a bad healer AND tank, rather than as a healer when I’m filling one important part.

Did an End Time today where the healer said from the start he didn’t know the fights, so I typed how to do them during the trash. The tank pulled every boss without hesitation, including trash when the healer hadn’t phased in yet. Pulled trash after a boss fight before anyone had a chance to drink, and pulled Murazond when half of us were still behind the hourglass, which meant every time I hit it, I had to run all the way back. He also linked recount mid-fight, screamed about time warp when I already hit it, and screamed about clicking before it was even time. Oh and he needed on everything he could. Needless to say I gave him a piece of my mind.

He spec’d sarcasm

Got in a pug Firelands raid today and one of the tanks, Microsaccade was being sarcastic and insulting about most of the process, the entire time.  Hi, guy? It’s a pug, relax.

We got Beth down, then Shannox where I rolled an awesome 13 on the Coalwalker Sandals, and tried Rhyo.  We got him to the last phase on the first try but healing was low and no one got topped off after the initial stomp, and we died.  The tank and Raliden, on his shaman, were explaining the fight a little further, which I appreciated.  However then the tank asked Ral to define what “doing it right” meant with “does it mean slow dps and waste time” and I replied “if you are sarcastic yes” and they went offline shortly after that.  The druid healer had gone offline and didn’t come back earlier than that, and the other tank left and by then it was just time to stop.

Also got arena cap with a shadow/disc priest I ran into randomly named Apöllo. Got cap pretty quick and went 5-2. It seems like standing flagged near the pvp vendors you can pick up a partner without even trying.

Bloodyslayer and just called to say YOU SUCK

Ran rbgs last night and we won 2 and lost, 5, I think?  But I asked to go on my mage because let’s be honest healing all the time gets old.

Ha ha, you like that?  Nah it never gets old I just want to get points on my mage since the priest has no use for them now.  Plus change just in general is nice.

Yesterday I ran into this guy and a few others during WG, and mowed them all down like grass as arcane, including 3 of their sieges.  Afterwards he came back and I killed him a few times when he was occupying himself with a DK, but once he turned his attention to me I had to run a lot.

Then he switched to an alliance character just to tell me how bad I was.  I just shrugged and basically said you are right, I haven’t played this character in a long while and I need practice.  We talked a little bit after that about random bg stuff.  The following day when I was banging bgs all day long for practice, and tweaking my keybinds and such to perform better, the person came back and apologized for being so rude and said it was uncalled for.  I think someone may have found out I have no penis.  Just a guess.  At any rate I think I made another rogue friend XD

Ballsy yeah I know I have no gear DUH

Jun11

Tonight we had a fun run scheduled but I ended up more stressed than anything.  We took over an hour to fill the group, and while waiting I was looking up gear for guildies.  One was missing an enchant as a shaman and was missing 4 mail pieces.  Another was missing 5 glyphs, another 3 glyphs, and a few had under the requested 355 item level, by more than a few points.  Another was like 343 ilevel and known to have bad dps just from dungeons.  So, good times.

The shaman we brought is also known for being bad, and they did not help themselves by repeatedly saying, in raid no less, things like “I’m lagging a bunch”, “I’ve never healed this before”, “I don’t know these fights at all” etc.  We had a real ass  shaman from guild Void named Coolaid, something I think, who was continually snotty in vent, but did accurately point out that said shaman was misgeared, to which we gave her standard ballsy reply of “yeah I know I’m here for gear” which is the same thing she said in a ZG run when people busted on her terrible dps.  They also had terrible healing at 5k overall and per fight. Anyway the people that did not know the twin dragon fight didn’t speak up, we wiped the first attempt, and when the second one went poorly the guy logged out mid raid.  Ass.  He was the kind that doesn’t say anything during a fight to help out but speaks up after the fact, which to me is just too late.

We got up to Ascendant Council but people didn’t know that fight, combined with the terrible healing and dps, we tried twice and quit.  I did end up with Book of Binding Will, but I’d rather spend my limited time playing getting very little done, doing something else. I am enjoying the tricks of a mage again though, popping out of stuns to do interupts and such.  I need to make a stop casting macro for my counterspell though.

Ducks

This is just random, but I wish people would get their ducks in a row, and THEN ask people to do something/form a raid/start a dungeon. Don’t ask if someone wants to do arena, then start looking at gear you need to buy, gems, enchants, etc. Do that shit FIRST, then ask who wants to go. Unless of course your guild is full of other people not prepared to do anything without a 30+ min stuttering period.

I’m pvp ready with an equipment switch, I’m raid ready with another equipment switch. It doesn’t take me all night. I don’t even have to go to the bank.
