Tonight I did a few heroics. I was in Deadmines, fighting Vanessa Vancleaf, thinking that when she died, she set off a last round of explosives allowing you to use the ropes again, but instead died to her suicide bomb. I always thought there was one last rope swing after she went down. Anyway, I get criticized after that for not knowing. MEANWHILE, the hunter in the group had been, the entire fight, pulling a classic Hunter move... Swinging at the boss with a melee weapon.
Why I was the one to receive criticism was beyond me. But hey, that's wow. P.S. I'm not enjoying Alliance.
I don't recall the exact mechanics when it first came out but I know they made changes to it, maybe even taking out the last rope swing.
I do know it was a pain in the dick, as were all the heroics when they first came out. You couldn't pug them. Me and Team Allstate got the job done. Was actually kind of fun lol. I miss those guys. =[
Anyways, it seems the bad players tend to band together and blame the good players when something goes wrong (reminds me of the film Idiocracy). Numerous times I've had to explain fights to players and then they either continue to do them wrong via refusal or they're simply to bad/dumb to do it the right way. Then we wipe and I get blamed. I had a tank who, instead of pulling the boss back and away from all the trash, would just tank it there. Then, as some trash walks up and aggros to the tank or one of the other players, decides to try and pull the boss back. Then wipes happen. Then I get blamed/kicked. Repeat, sometimes the same tank will do the same thing 2-3 times.
My favorite kind of bads are the "PvPers" who you are ganking/they try to gank you. Then they finally kill you with 3 other people attacking you (very obviously). Then they trash talk you and you point out to them that there were other people helping them and they respond with things like "Nice excuses" or, and this is my favorite, "Nah man it was just me, there were no other players, you're just mad/lying/dumb". I'm like, how can you PvP and not have the situational awareness to not notice a big red hunter and his pet just blasting away while a paladin heals you? It happens so frequently that I resorted to taking screenshots of my combat log showing more than one player hitting me at the same time so IF they do say something I can shut them up.
Renegade(x) was one of the later players, possibly one of the previous as well. He went as far as to bash my arena ratings and tell me that, because he kept losing 1v1, in arena he would crush me.
Spoiler (highlight to view):
I beat him on both my Rogues, who he outgears. He has a t2 weapon and my gnome rogue is literally in blues as was my gnomes partner. He shut up after that.
I really don't understand what's so hard about this game. It plagues my mind trying to figure out what kind of people these bads are. Much like Aestu said, I don't understand how they function in day to day life...unless! I bet they use addons irl.
