More fun times in WoD

[Ametrine]

I actually had a group this evening do this in a WoD run. One alliance had all classes save for their SCH (which is admittedly the one case that you do need to job skills to function), but all were well geared for the run.

As soon as we started, however, people in the other alliances were freaking out at the "trolls" that had landed in our group, and outright refused to enter Angra. Despite being on the side of the class players, since by the time you start to abuse the defense and offense buffs you can cross and that every job's most basic rotation is tied to their class, my co-healer and 4 of our DPS continued to shush me since they were convinced that there was no way we could succeed with 7 people without soulstones. Literally just me, a bard, and my tank were fighting in our party. 4 others in the third alliance were sitting out as well. Basically, too few healers and DPS meant were were getting wrecked as soon as the two adds popped.

So, despite 7 players being properly geared, having plenty of cross class skills to make up the lost job skills, and clearly showing that they knew what they were doing in the first set of trash mobs, too many people were too stubborn to just go with it or eat the 15 minutes out of DF for refusing to try something new. So, 3 wipes on Angra later, and we were forced to take their demands to abandon. Half of them in my team were claiming that they were filing GM reports on the "classed" players, despite being the ones doing the actual ruining of the run!

That to me is just outrageous. It was the ugliest instance I've ever been in.
