I prefer reform too and I ...By all means go for it. I prefer reform too and I enjoy teaching.<br /><br />However it's hard to teach people even in your own guild. Most people's default expectation of a pug is one awesome player (themself) and 4 noobs. People are offended and irritated by advice as often as receptive.<br /><br />Of course if you don't mind the confrontation that in itself can be pretty entertaining. The beautiful thing about tanking in the new system is you are very hard to remove and will tend to win popularity contests.<br /><br />Not because you're right. Because you're the idiot that takes 15 minutes to replace where the other idiot takes 15 seconds to replace.<br /><br />Personally I have a limited well of patience and I'd rather spend my time nurturing people in my guild or at least on my server than arguing with cross-server randoms.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-50336306703864852192009-12-16T14:26:07.534-06:002009-12-16T14:26:07.534-06:00@G-Rebel: Maybe someday he'll realize that it&...@G-Rebel: Maybe someday he'll realize that it's a good idea to talk about the pace if it's not working.<br /><br />Just so people aren't confused, the first post was Russian spam.<br /><br />@Stabs: I prefer reform over removal.

You can't, in the context of random cross...No.<br /><br />You can't, in the context of random cross-server 5 mans, do anything.<br /><br />It is possible that Blizzard may introduce facilities to improve the experience like a personal block list. I doubt it. I always campaigned for an ignore list longer than 25 back when I regularly pugged WoW and they refused. One blue said it imposed too much consequence to people's actions if the game supported unlimited ignores.<br /><br />You can change your own playstyle - group with people you like - at the cost of rewards.<br /><br />I also think it's going to get worse. Back when battlegrounds got really unpleasant a lot of people used to click over to the combat tab so you could do the bg without having to suffer through what other people are typing. Need is going to become more common as people get burned by not needing or perceive offspeccers as ninjas.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-25562218344292047812009-12-16T11:09:53.844-06:002009-12-16T11:09:53.844-06:00I once met a Druid tree that tried to tank his way...I once met a Druid tree that tried to tank his way through a heroic because everyone else was moving too slow for his taste. Upon dying he asked "wtf happened"? <br /><br />Well, dum-dum, you pretended you were the tank instead of the healer. Everone laughed but him, then he quit.<br /><br />That's a social noob, one who just can't laugh at himself.<br /><br />@ Anonymous: I take offense to that!G-Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643815147549753677noreply@blogger.com
