See, when people do that to me in pugs and I'm not at at least ~40% mana I let them die and get a repair bill. As far as I'm concerned I'm doing them a favor by not rewarding stupidity.Kalliope wrote:I've had a grand total of two actually wait while I spammed party chat saying I was drinking.

Of course, if it's a guild group or a trialling-new-potential-raider it's an entirely different thing. Funniest thing would've been when we were trialling potential healer recruits and we had our tank pull triple groups and the dps doing the stupidest stuff they could think of (like spamming Distracting Shot on cooldown). We had one who managed to keep us alive all the way until HoR! Mind you, they were warned up front that we were going to make life hell for them!
Similarly, when trialling dps'ers, the healer is under instruction to not heal them unless it's part of the boss mechanic that they will take damage. I foresee this becoming an ever-more important challenge to put people through in Cata.
