As I've mentioned before it's been little over a year since I've played WoW. Now I've made my return to the game where I've gone from one of the oldest guilds to a rather new one. New guildies create new inspiration for me and also mean new gaming-friends.
I was "headhunted" by my new guild... or rather I got an invite thrown at me, but it was part of my plan to accept the 4th guild that gave me an invite - yep, I used a dice and it showed four eyes, so 4th invite it was.
But it's a place where I feel there's a lot of good communication, so I'm staying where I am.
After I did the character boost that I got with the pre-order of Warlords of Draenor it was all in on gear.
First I went through Timeless Isle and then yesterday it was time for Raid Finder (LFR).
Before I started my break from WoW I had tried LFR in Dragon Soul and the first part of Mogu'shan Vaults.
BUT... I really had totally forgotten the rage and hate that can be found in the simple concept of LFR.
People who refuse to tank or heal because they get angry, Normail raiders saying "that's not how we do it in our team" and my favorite: HC geared players yelling about people having to stop slacking on the DPS.
I'm fully aware people use LFR for different things. Some to get gear, some to get valor points and some just to see the content. I do believe at this point in the expansion it's limited with those who just want to see the content.
I don't understand why some (maybe 80%) of the players in LFR can't just take a chill-pill as they obviously need it! In my time in WoW I've played 5-man dungeons, BG's, LFR and a few PuG's where players from some of the best guilds have been there - and guess what, they don't rage! They get the fact that they are playing with players who are NOT part of a World First contending guild.
The players who rage all the time are obviously players who wish they were at the top level but don't have the skills they think they do. This is why they need to point out mistakes made by others and rage about it.
Yesterday I was called a lot of things while doing the LFR. Noob was the first one thrown at me which made me laugh as the first pull wasn't even made yet. The reason was my gear (hello captain obvious!) that only had iLvl 489 at the time. A few pulls later (same group) I was dissed because I didn't have a spirit beast.
Next group I got more of the same so to speak. Now I was a noob because I "ignored" fight mechanics that would have gotten me killed if it was normal, HC or flex... guess what Einstein, it was LFR and I was fully aware what I could ignore in terms of mechanics as I read/watched guides a few hours earlier.
So I have a suggestion to Blizzard. When they re-made the loot system for LFR (due to rage) maybe they could do the same to the chat system. I'm thinking a panel with 10 predefined comments (ready, bloodlust, stack, spread, adds.... etc) then we have what you could truly call "Rage Quit".
- to those who don't understand sarcasm and/or irony this last part can be hard to understand, but go get you parents they can help you out.
