    Mostly just talking about the first post which doesn't offer context on what the quitter said or the circumstances of them quitting.

    I'm just happy I'm lucky enough to already have a group for all this raiding stuff. All this stress from pugging raid content seems like it could take a decade off of my life.

    Had a healer once that after 1 wipe said "Kick -insert name-, he's a noob". I checked the grouplist and behold, he tried to get himself kicked to avoid the penelty of leaving himself. We didn't kick him, so he crossed his arms and did nothing for the rest of the turn.
    In the end someone else left and the healer was gone.
    The rest of us was like, "If he didn't want to risk playing with first-timers he should've just made a Party Finder group instead of going Duty Finder". Always a risk, especially on newer content.

    When I DF Alexander, get no "this person is new - enjoy some free tomes" message, and on the first attempt, with no screw ups to mechanics, we still have 28% on one robot and 30% on the other robot at enrage...there is no point in wasting my time trying again.

    The more likely scenario is: Rage Quitter stands at the beginning and spams vote abandon until everyone accepts it, cursing everyone out for being bad.

    I remember doing Gruda ex for the first time and like all awesome paladins I forgot there are numerous ways SE will turn your oath off on you, so hate was messed up and we died. OT starts swearing and calling me names. Got shield oath on and pulled, the white mage opens with medica 2 and the black mage uses flare - hate goes everywhere again (and I mean opens, all my hate was in one shield lob and building into RoH). OT is typing more than fighting, smearing that face on the keyboard. I catch aggro the second time and we're going through the steps, but then OT gets the masterful idea that they should just tank and switches on shield oath, after an aggro race and provoke he decided to point garuda at everyone and blame it on me for not holding hate. Of course the flaming intensifies.

    Seriously the only time where I said "you know what guys, I messed up the first time but this... this is dysfunctional" and left. Normally I stay, especially if we're moving forward each wipe. To be fair though I did attempt to vote kick the OT for harassment (was cussing and making the experience pretty poopy, even though I truly only messed up once) but this was a time when tanks were like unicorns and people said we should just try again, so I did apologize to the DDs, but I'm not going to play through vindictive verbal abuse xD.

    A1 last night, after 2 wipes, I started asking a bunch of questions, trying to figure out a strategy so we don't wipe again. It was only my second time in there. All of a sudden, a healer drops out, without a word. Then everyone else leaves. Apparently asking questions is a bad thing?

    I had this yesterday. My first attempted at A1 and the first pug had both tanks drop after two wipes (didn't even GET to the enrage timer) and the two new people, myself and my friend, were the last ones standing both times. I'm was all "O.O Ummm... wut?"

    The second I just didn't get because we hit the enrage timer three times. Then a tank rage quit and ranted in LS that they didn't have time to waste on figuring out what went wrong. I got blamed because of my BLM rotation even though I was told to stop doing so much damage to the main boss and go help with the other other boss. Again.. "O.O Ummm... wut?!?"

    Still haven't cleared A1.. *sigh*

    I have been raged against because I was explaining mechanics to a new person.... *stfu we will just carry*

    I hate that with a passion, how is anyone ever supposed to get better or learn? I've been DFing A3 (love this fight!!) to work on my Panther mount and yesterday I went into 6 of them. Every single one of them had a new player bonus. 5/6 we one shot because I took the time to explain the mechanics to the people who didn't know them, amidst the complaining. Ohh but I love it on tank, because I just tell the impatient DPS to pull the boss if they want >)

    The one we didn't one shot is because I'm almost positive the paladin was trying to troll us. He pulled the boss and then went and stood in the lightning >.> The 2nd pull he pointed the first form at everyone and cleaved people then started running around like a chicken...

    The third time I went into Grit and just solo tanked the whole thing. The healers prob hated healing through double hand slaps but I mitigated and they tunnel healed and we won. He somehow knew to voke it off of me after I had 6 stacks though in the final phase....imagine that...

    Ragers just automatically assume people who don't know the fight "suck" but never give anyone a chance. Don't get me wrong, if I take the time to explain something and then a person or people continue to wipe to the exact same thing 3 or 4 times, I'll accept a vote abandon. But at least if everyone shows some semblance of understanding and progression then I'm more than happy to stick around to help.

    For some reason, A1 is a cesspool of butthurt. The other floors aren't nearly as bad in my experience.

    u just have to put the dps on the spot in A1 and tell them they ALL need to get their asses on adds. Really, theres no excuse to fail this apart from laziness.
