Where do you find "The Love"?

This is what always drives me up the walls. It's also the very same reason why I hate to be the group leader. People who have the lets-do-this-quick!- or the I'm-done-I'm-gone-mentality!

Coincidently, that's exactly why I usually seize opportunities to be group leader. I kick the ego-centric out. Warriors will wait for healer mana or face my wrath. CC'ers will poly/shackle/sap/earthschock/counterspell the right targets and coordinate when needed. If the people are new, and need prodding, I tell them what to do and when. If they're foolhardy, *kick*.

DPS mana can drink while warriors engage. Just extra time for aggro to build and unleash anyways.

Always be picky with pick-up groups. The impatient will leave whether its successful or not, kick them early.

I don't make friends with fools this way, but really, why would you want to be friends with those that are willing to jeopardize others for personal gain?

[Rant on]

Last night, I joined a pickup group for DM west thinking it'd be a half competent group. 3 people from same guild, a shammy, and myself. You know what happened? Warrior was simply a bad war, priest kept shackling the wrong targerts and claimed he was listening to his guildmates advice rather than the RIGHT action to do. Get wiped/owned because of white banshee aoe / silence? What shoudl you do? Right. Silence the banshee... wait, you silenced the teal ghost. . . and did it again! The shammy's name was made fun of, so he simply left after the nth wipe. Oh boy, I should've known when they entered from the south instance door rather than the north. The shorter, safer, path to the first pylon is from the north instance entrance. Their war left, the shammy left. What to do? I grabbed my friends to recover DM west, then kicked the priest after he refused to shackle an enemy and used a dangerous shortcut that led to aggro from the 56 hunter guildmate of his while the rest of us (new war, new druid) were elsewhere ready to pull. Both hunter and priest blame each other for aggro in whisper chat, and priset tries to wiggle himself out of not shackling the smart target. Follow guildmate advice? The stupid kind? No, that's the loser mentality. I don't tolerate following idiocy. It was his choice to follow idiot orders instead of making a decision of his own.

So what did I do? Kicked the priest, and grabbed a shammy friend. I've got a good war, a good druid, and a good shammy now in addition to my lock self. We four carrying the instance, and 56 hunter follows along. So we four manned DM west while the hunter's equipment was broken half the time and the hunter contributed very little even with repaired equipment. Got a few decent items, and completed the in-instance DM west quest: the madness within. [/rant ]

Note: all the friends I summoned here began from pickup groups, however I screened them by talking to them before actually going to the instance. What wonders a little 30 second chit chat will do for an encounter that may take hours.
