Players Who Don't pull their weight.

[RiceisNice]

I can tell you a horror story. Had a tank on my expert the other day that didn't like me not being in 220+ gear in every slot. (218 nin, 225 drk, casual player, felt like dpsing for a change) they started accusing me of 'refusing to gear up' (apparently running my roulettes for lores is 'refusing to gear up') and 'wanting to be carried'. Then saying how they would run out of cd's and die because my dps would be to 'low'. They than sat at the start and refused to move, demanding we 'get the ___ out' and threatened to kick us if we didn't.. willing to wait the 15 timer to do so.

That's ridiculous and reportable at the same time. EX difficulty drops i215 gear, even being at 210 is considered overgeared for this instance since the minimum is 200.

In all situations, people need to be more sensible on what's to be expected out of people. I don't get how people can jump to the conclusion of being on the extreme of one side instead of making a reasonable judgement call in the middleground of putting/understanding the basic fundamentals of the game at level cap, and expecting savage-tier play otherwise.

One of my friends just ran into the very same tank I did on their expert, and they did the same thing to them. Friend posted screenies (un-cencered) on tumblr and a lot of people came forward stating they had the same kind of run in with the tank. Many reports were made but nothing has been done, the tanks still going. Now my friends thinking of unsubbing for good.




(edit to include 2nd screeny)

So just returning to the game and doing the MSQ is 'refusing to gear up'. (and yes they were reported by all in the party I'm told)

This is why I lved a tank class, to let players ENJOY THE GAME. New? Want to see the Cutscenes? GO RIGHT AHEAD! I'll stop and go over the boss's. Under geared? I'll do smaller pulls. Why ruin the game for people? The end isn't going anywhere. Gona rush just to afk in game anyway?

And we need more of a reason why people shouldn't be able to Rate people? This didn't even happen to me and I want to un-subscribe... Some people are so disgusting...
I've recently come back to the game myself, I only have 200,210 gear and like... a few 230's. So he/she might as well have been saying that to me.

This persons ISP should revoke there Right to have contact with people on the net until they learn basic human interaction and how to treat people.

Heres the rest of that convo for you.



and them saying to gear using midas, my friend was also doing that. The issue is now that midas is free to roll, one person can get lucky and win all the drops. Before it was a 50/50 per run a week to get an item with 4 items dropping, with people passing on items they didn't want to not waste their weekly. Now it's 1 in 8 x 4 items for every run. I spammed midas myself for my 218 ninja for bolts as acc's are what I need. By the time I got one I had enough Lore for two, and I'm STILL 3 of 4 springs to getting pants sense Midas first came out. (not that I need it anymore for my main class's, but saving for an alt class anyho)

Well as the community we can't tolerate this! We have to demand swift removal of the in-game chat to prevent any future issues because of this one and only guy! /end of sarcasm

This should be easily fixed with the report harassment option. If this guy hasn't been banned yet it shows certain problems in a different department.

These screenshots were posted on tumblr with out the names hidden. Over 130 (edit 227 posts now and more people coming forward with their own stories) people liked, re-posted and commented (and the numbers still growing). A good number of them also stated they ran into the tank as well and they did the same thing and were reported.

One such person's recent encounter.


and yet another. and theres many more.


They can also be found on the forums bragging and harassing people. They make remarks how they don't care if there reported because SE wont do anything, and how there just in their remarks because anyone not in high ILV gear should not be running the runs that are there TO get said high lv gear and said people are just wasting their time wanting to be carried.

That's when you proceed to join the bard by putting on your i210 weapon.
