Pro tip: Tell me you're new to a dungeon /rant

[TouchandFeel]

Tbh, in my experience with the DF and asking whether people are new, know the dungeon, are cool with multi-group pulls, etc. I more often than not run into people who assume you'll take their silence as a yes or are annoyed that you are even spending the time to ask.

Many times when I have asked such questions, gotten no reply and so asked again , I have been met with "omg, just stfu and pull already!".

As a tank I am the one that most of the time has to make the decision on what to pull and how much, how quickly. Responsible tanks will make these judgments based on prior experience and what they see as the capabilities of the current party, however they can only base such judgments off the information they are provided. If I ask a question, it is because I am trying to gather information so that I can make the best judgment that I can for the good of the team. If you stay silent and do not provide me any information, I just have to go off other information or solely on previous experience which may not line up with you or what you want.

So, seriously, speak up and try to communicate with your team so they know what to expect. If someone asks you a question, try to answer it as best you can. Taking ten seconds at the beginning to establish the situation is much better than wasting minutes later wiping because people didn't bother getting on the same page.

This applies to the tanks as well, don't just do what you want to do without regard to your group. If you want to be the leader, try acting like one. Do what's best for the group and not just yourself.
