A while ago, Gnollguy posted that a pickup group is basicallly 5 people soloing in the same area. I'd never had that feeling. Tried to run through SM the other day and saw this for the first time. Druid, rogue, warrior, rogue, priest (me). I notice everyone's health bars are dropping and I'm thinking we're seeing AoE. Nope. I look up and every single person in the group has taken a mob and wandered off to their own corner of the room to kill it. Except for one of the rogues, who has three mobs, two of which he hasn't hit yet. Oh good. He's saving those for me.
I should mention that this group included a warrior who informed me that a) he didn't have a defensive mode and b) when I pointed out where it was on his toolbar that you only use defensive mode if you have a shield. He kept explaining how he was taunting things off of me but it didn't seem to be working. The druid kept explaining how he was a great tank but depite this fact never held aggro on more than one thing at a time in the entire attempt.
Oh, and I got yelled at for not healing people when I died because I had 3 elite mobs beating on me. No, you're right. The dead don't heal so good. Neither do priests being cast-interrupted. Worst. Party. Ever.
