Stop lying to your groups

[SulwynCaliope]

Unfortunately, lying doesn't only happen between DF groups. It happened to me in my fc a few weeks ago. Someone in my FC was asking for help with Garuda HM so I and a bunch of other FC mates volunteered to help. We get into Garuda and the person we're helping kept dying a lot. Midway through the dungeon, an LS mate of mine who had fallen into the same trap told me to examine the person's gears and I realized that she was wearing all low level white gear only. We finished it because Garuda is easy if majority of the party knows what to do.

Fast forward a few days later and this same person is asking the FC again for help but this time with titan HM. Recalling my experiences from before, I decide to speak up on FC chat about the person being severely undergeared and she's all "yea I want to be carried". i have no problems with people wanting to be carried but only if they inform their teams beforehand and are open and honest about it. This person just wanted to sneak into groups without letting them know she wasn't going to be contributing. That seriously annoyed me. And of course she got berated by FC mates and no one helped her that day.

Moral of the story? Please be open and honest about your capabilities and your intentions. When you lie, it burns bridges. I'm okay with helping people who are willing to speak up about their deficiencies and learn from me about how they can improve. If you're not going to give me the minimum courtesy of telling me that you're new and need help, then don't blame me if I rage quit mid way through the dungeon either.
