Agreed. And unfortunatley, it starts early. My current dream is very basic. I dream right now of a good VC run with competent people. I have yet to have a good instance run at all so VC seems like a good place to start. Every run I was able to join (I'm a Rogue so pick-up groups are few and far between) always had someones level 102^13 friend helping. A frusterating and boring as it was, I had no choice with all my friends either being higher level or unavailable. I think some people see WoW as an extension of D2 almost. The number of higher levels I see trying to power level (or rush) lower levels is mind-boggling. I guess they will eventually realize it's not effective.
I've started a Defensive specced Warrior with the dream of running instances with my friends. I'm practically drooling on myself in anticipation for this weekend for when my friend who recently started a priest catches up to me and we can do VC.
As to the Hunter/Mage remark, I'd have to say the worst are Rogues. I'm not trying to *brag* ;) but we as a group are the most cocky, arrogant players I've seen in general. I know every class has them but there's just something about being able to stealth that infects the brain with a false sense of security... :)
Excellent post by the way, Bolty. I'll be sure to show it to my priest friend. I'm sure he'll enjoy it even more than I did.
