Protect? Really important? Low level content

Because you can't control what other people do. When you're not casting protect there will eventually be someone that comes along and make a big deal out of it. Is the person stupid? Sure, but is it really worth fighting over? No. I'm not suggesting these people are justified, just that it's not worth the hassle. If someone's fun is ruined because they couldn't cast aero in copperbell there's something wrong.

Eh, I really don't see the value in (or like the idea of) ceding everything to other people just because they'll raise a fuss over it. They're the ones making waves and disrupting the group, ought we all not simply be telling them that they're the unreasonable one?

It is interesting to me though. In many areas of life it seems to be this way...someone can raise a fuss over something and expect you to change or do something according to their will, but if you refuse, people make it seem like you're the unreasonable one.

I don't get resistance from the groups I'm in. I tell them I'm set up for DPS, they say ok, and we run. This happens every time. I've had maybe four instances where someone asks again, at which point I say, "Absolutely, mind waiting a minute for my skills to cool down?" then we run. It's a non-issue every run.

Heh, I had a nice fellow in Halatali last night inform me that "Cleric Stance is only for soloing."
