I can only speak for myself. I really enjoy helping people out. However, if you ask for my help on the raid and i bring 4 of my friends in to get you and your buddy through it and none of us can get anything because this is like the 5th time through helping people...don't waste my time! I expect you to die a lot since you're a lower level. I expect you to take some time to explore since you've never been here. I do not expect that after 3 explanations and 45 minutes into the atheon fight for you to say "wait, what am i supposed to be doing?" Almost the same circumstances, i dont expect you to get off of the mic and go afk for 5 minutes without telling anyone during atheon and then spend the next 20 minutes whining that you're screen is black and you don't know what to do. You would know if you'd been part of the team, and you would have found out after if you literally shut that useless hole in you face for 2 minutes so we could explain it for the 4th time! I've had more good groups i helped through than bad ones. Those 2 unfortunately are the most memorable. I still like helping people, but only if they respect the fact that i'm helping and it's not okay to waste my time due to negligence. We don't have to speed run, you don't need to have as many kills than me, but you do need to pay attention and make some kind of effort to contribute to the team.

  • True that. People have this expectation to have people cater to them. I did the raid for the first time last week. There was an experienced dude in there. I told him in the beginning it was my first run and to boss me around as he wished. He told me what to do, and I performed my role. If I was a douche who didn't pay attention, I would not expect anyone to want to help me out.

  • Ah man - yeah that ruins it a bit - the whole negligence part - read my comment up there ^ - I was the sorta newbie - it may be because I have experience raiding in other games but when im the new person who doesnt know as much or have as much experience - I do everything in my power to play my best and pay attention - I actually play at the top of my game under those stressful conditions - just one time last night during the raid I made a mistake at the very first part, i was middle and for a multitude of circumstances a praetorian made it to the middle sync plate and shut it off - this was only my second time so i didnt know to stand on the plate again and open it - the other guy in the mid got annoyed and I could hear it - instead of crying about it, it made me want to never do something like that again - it set my tempo for the rest of the night and the raid went well - It really all just depends on the players you get
