Need help figuring this out

Unread post by Smyelmdar »

So today I was in a random dungeon group with my hunter I'm levelling at the moment.
We were in Drak'Tharon Keep, and close to the last boss, where those big trolls are. The ones that cast fear.
Two of the DPS died there, while the (druid) tank got feared. The tank then said this:

I seriously don't understand what he meant by that. That I should use feign death? I had no aggro or anything.
Or that it was my fault that they died? And if so, how could it be my fault? I needed to let my pet tank or something?
I was also feared the same time as the tank, so there wasn't really much I could do.

Right now, the only thing I can think of is that 'blame the huntard' mentality.

Anyone have some idea to what else could be his problem?
I usually don't pay attention to people in random groups complaining, but this was just too weird to me..

I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

Just shrug it off as someone being weird and /ignore him if you're that weirded out by it.
This is just my observation, but I'm starting to feel the WoW community is going downhill. I was in a group today where the tank pulled before the healer loaded his screen. The rest of the dungeon was just a lot of bitching back and forth. It didn't make me want to play.. but then again not much about WoW is making me want to play at the moment..

He's already ignored. I usually do that when people act weird, hostile and so on in random groups.
But yeah, I also think it's getting worse with the complaining and whining in dungeons. And though I love the random dungeon option, I have to say that it has gotten worse with how people act, after they introduced the dungeon finder.
I guess it's because you're even more anonymous when you use the tool, and you'll probably never meet the people from the random group again.

As I mentioned before, I usually don't pay attention to it when people complains in dungeons, unless it gets personal or they start getting abusive. Then I report them.
Like some time ago I was in a low level dungeon where the tank and the healer was from the same guild, and they just rushed through the dungeon, needing on every single item that dropped, and the healer only healing the tank. That resulted in one of the other guys dying, and when he asked for a res, they started throwing some really bad words at him.
I then asked as politely as I could for them to slow down, and they started with me too, calling me fag and worse things.
So I had to report them.
There's just so many people that doesn't care that there is real people behind those pixels. It's actually sad...

Rant over. :P

You didn't do anything wrong far as I can tell and if it were me, I would've told him that flat out.
