Same, but I've had plenty of DF tanks that come in saying they're drunk somewhere down the lines or that they 'need another hit' and do fine. I wouldn't have known the difference if they didn't say anything. I don't always notice that they're acting out of the ordinary, other than losing an ADD or two (but even then, that's not horrible) here and there.Quote:

I can't even stand the smell of alcohol (it all smells like taking a super strong whiff of permanent marker, up close to the nose... and the taste is like what it smells. People think I'm crazy to compare it to a permanent marker, but that's what I think of when I smell alcohol o_O... /shrug) and I can't stand things that alter a person's thinking/clarity. Only alcohol I'll tolerate, taste-wise, is a bit of Guinness or some Irish coffee (till it all settles at the bottom and nowhere to dilute it...) and even then that's rare.

Yeah, sorry about generalizing drunk players. It's just that I've had exactly the opposite experience as you guys. Every player who I've known was drunk was always a detriment to the team. Like, I had a ninja a few days ago in KotL and he was dying 2+ times on every boss. I found out after we wiped on the final boss that he was drunk and needed to go grab a new drink. The BLM was not amused lol.
@Cariborne: That kind of reminds me of a run a did of Qarn HM a while back (I posted about it a few months ago) where I was blamed for us wiping. It was a bit different (everyone blames me so I had no one to defend me :( ) but those kinds of runs kind of hurt my motivation to play at times. And I've also noticed a bunch of issues with tanks lately. Not all of them, just some... Like a tank I had in WoD earlier today who let the entire raid wipe because he refused to MT after the original MT died (he had pulled hate from Cloud of Darkness so the 3rd tank never had a chance to prepare to MT). -

Not really a "horror story" but just more...annoyed? I don't know.
I was SCH and the other healer was WHM in World of Darkness. Second trash pull and the WHM tells me to get out of CS. I'm like, fine okay, if you want to DPS just let me know and I can just heal then, I don't care. I get bored really quick when just standing there so. Time for a nap.
During Cloud of Darkness we were having a bit of trouble so I get out of CS to heal since we're all dying some more. I take over on main tank healing so the WHM can focus on the party. I notice the WHM cast a single non-CS Aero II and then just. Stand there. Nothing.
After we wipe I went back to DPSing on the healing downtime because uuugh. (we passed that one).
Like, I'm not sure if the WHM knew I could mainly heal with my fairy and didn't really....need... to be out of CS all the time. Especially since I've run WOD over and over and over (give me the heal chest omfg) and I know when big damage is going to hit. -

I did a noob dungeon as SCH for relic, was almost dismissed because the tank wanted me to get off cleric stance.
I did WoD, got lots of complaints about using Selene.
I did T10 and T11 hoping for farm shit for my caster, already having all 6 healer items from them. Of course I see those 6 items drop over and over again and still no buttwings.
Still no WHM Cane from T13.
Overall it's been a shitty week. -
04-28-2015, 06:29 PMSpoekesI know that one. One time a guy started emoting at me "looks at you in disgust" and so on because I was in CS...Quote:

04-28-2015, 06:51 PMMXMoondoggieIf people play well i don't even care if they have been drinking or not XD. I don't drink,smoke or use drugs but I'm not going to look down on somebody that does it's a personal choice for me and my own lifestyle that doesn't mean I have the right to push it on others. Had plenty in runs who have been drinking or smoking drugs and if they turn up and do their part I'll have nothing to say to them. In game matters in this case not who they are in the real world.Quote:

An old guild leader back when I played Ragnarok Online (the first one... second one kinda sucked) used to level his GC Sader while high. Fun times, having me FS while he's leading the two of us around the same rock five times and not even noticing... rofl. Wasn't a fan of his habit, but he was harmless.
and I didn't have to smell anything from my side of the computer. -
