So I'm floating around the tower... Minding my own business, right? When I get spammed by some guys to join their game. I usually am pretty nice and will at least reply, if not just join. I decided to entertain them and join their group, knowing they were headed to normal mode VOG.
The nightmare begins. I can usually make a normal VOG run in about 30-45 minutes, this being reliant on the people with me having an idea what's going on and not screwing around.
We entered the vault, I clearly asked "everyone knows what they're doing in here right? If not let me know so I can help you out." I received an all around answer of "yes".
We had a 10 year old kid, 2 guys who apparently were mute, and a very angry redneck accompanying myself and a seasoned VOG friend.
We venture in and all hell breaks loose, every 5 seconds someone is dying. The kid in the group continues to play Rambo and not listen and repeatedly walks away from roles he should have had little trouble with (protecting constructs, etc.) two people obviously had never attempted the raid in any manor and would ignore simple advice. The angry redneck guy was cussing at everyone claiming he was far superior and made excuses that others were slacking and causing him to die (which would likely be true if it wasn't for the fact he had no tactical sense). It took us 40 minutes just to get to the gorgon maze. In the gorgon maze the kid ran ahead every time and either forced us to die by being caught or by leading inexperienced players directly to gorgons. The angry redneck started cussing at me for trying to get people on track. After [b]50 minutes[/b] in the gorgon maze we finally got clear.
Then the true nightmare happened... Have you ever fought Atheon with two people who refused to listen, kill the suicide harpies, pick up relics, tell you what planet/time they were in, or not shoot oracles at all? It was another 50 minute process.
[b]ON NORMAL[/b]
Levels were 30,29,29,29,28,27
Because of this I am apprehensive to join with random people now....
I did manage to score a "complete" raid set (original post edited due to trolls) for my already level 30 warlock though.
[b]share some of your nightmare experiences[/b]

Edited by n0ledge_1: 11/15/2014 1:15:31 PMThere was this one raid that I found really funny. A friend and I were at atheon hard just messing around quietly when 4 people joined random talking all at the same time loudly. There was this girl controling the other 3 like a mother. Telling them hey you don't do this do that while the other went at atheon to shot him. One of them dies and wonders why he got one shot by atheon. Clearly the other 3 never saw atheon before. So the girl and two randoms gets teleported and we hear "OKAY I GOT THE RELIC! WHAT DO I DO?" Run around with it and dies. Someone realise it's hard mode and they all leave pretty much at the same time like they were a fireteam inside ours. So we just stand there like what the -blam!- happend ahahah.
