Kicked from Pyros Group because of Pelotan

TBH I just made this post so you can understand my woes:

Healer claimed I was killing them by playing Peloton while walking by crabs. MFW: The walk speed increase doesn't increase aggro. Neither does sprint.

Peloton near an elemental will pull hate on me though. o/

Anyways rip

Edit:
lol I misspelled Peloton in the title.

Yeah, I always speed-walk past crabs and dragons and it has never been a problem for me. If you lag however, it aggros them, something about where you are before and after during lag makes the game think you ran. Maybe they were lagging and didn't know, so they blamed you :/

Yeah in never had a problem using Peloton. I use it every time I have clearance from mobs. That large room full of walking on only mobs is annoying as I didn't know all of them were sensitive to sounds.

Sounds like people looking for someone to blame for their mistakes.

Yeah speed doesn't change how they aggro. You could be moving at light speed but if you're set to walk they still won't aggro.
That person was an idiot.

Whether they were right or not, if you kept doing something they asked you not to do, that (they believed) was causing enemies to attack the party, then from their perspective it would seem like trolling.

And if you need to walk slowly past enemies to avoid them, then it does seem logical that a "move faster" spell could be the difference between passing safely and drawing their attention. Particularly with the "evidence" that they do get attacked.

The information might be incorrect, but it doesn't sound entirely unreasonable in those circumstances.

it's not about walking slowly past them. It's just having "walk" toggled on that they care about
peloton, sprint, mount, hide, etc etc they don't care at all as long as walk is toggled

this is also previous knowledge from pagos since the same mechanic existed there too

also, there's constantly a giant flood of people going back and forth in there. Should be obvious to anyone that has their eyes open

I'm just saying that if they aren't aware that walk vs run is all that matters, and particularly if an unfortunate timing of Peloton + lag gives them the impression that the speed boost is what drew the enemy's attention, then it is understandable (though not objectively correct) to kick you if you kept using it.

I'm not saying they were right, just that it is understandable from their perspective.

Some people also don't realize that sound sensitive mobs that aren't dragons can still aggro you if you walk into them.

My job as a bard is to support my PT, whether it be singing songs or helping them walk to a fate a little bit faster. Honestly, it was a stupid situation. I get where you're coming from that she's PT lead and "her rules." But come on - I explained it and then she kicked me before even trying it themselves is pretty ignorant.

But whatever it is what it is.
