    Attitudes change very quickly at 50. Prior to 50 I enjoyed almost all of my dungeon runs. Most people were doing them for the first time (first character to 50) and it made for good experiences. At 50 things change drastically because there are a number of people who have been 50 for a very long time, forget what it's like to be a fresh 50 and very intolerant to a fresh 50 needing to learn the dungeons.

    Once I hit 50 I had some very good groups that understood that I was new to 50 and I also had some of my worst experiences in dungeons in any MMO game ever. I was told that I suck. I was told to quit the game. I was told I am a horrible human being. And so on.

    On the other hand, I'll admit that I'm just as guilty of being annoyed with fresh 50's who don't know how to do things. But, usually, it goes back to something I said way earlier in this thread and that's where the fresh 50 doesn't admit to not knowing a dungeon. I had one time where the Healer and one DPS had never done Wandering Palace before. Clearing up to the second boss isn't that hard if you follow the tank. The first boss is stupidly easy. However, if you don't understand the second boss, you're going to die. The Healer got focused, stood there and took the Blob's attacks like a champ and died. His response "Sorry guys, first time here." My response "Telling us that while engaging the second boss of the dungeon is the best time to let us know that." He didn't take that too well. My point was that I wasn't angry that it was his first time here but it was a wipe that was entirely avoidable if he had just spoken up so I could have told him to MOVE if he gets focused.
