That moment when...

[JimboTCB]

The earlier you do CT after reset, the less disorganised the groups tend to be.

Early in the week, there's still plenty of people who just want to get in, get their carbontwine from the weekly, and get out. It's only later on that you tend to run into an overwhelming number of dumpster groups, either due to their failure to complete the place earlier in the week, or the fact that they're still farming the place for gear and are bored to death and not paying attention properly.

You get called a "Troll!" and vote kicked from WoD for needing on two upgrades on the current job you're playing and winning both.. I love this game!

I would interpret that as a courtesy for not having to leave the dungeon after getting what I wanted, and avoiding the DF lockout.

not that I actually do things like that

WoD is a cesspool of all the worst parts of anonymity, Duty Finder and the Internet. If you're looking for internet trolls or just complete A-holes. WoD is the place to be.
I had an FC mate do her first run of WoD the other day and she was thinking about quitting the game due to this (No Joke)

To show her it wasn't all that bad, we ran it with a full FC group. I won't even start to tell you how bad the other 2 groups were.
Healers not healing, Tanks running the boss (We didn't even get beyond Angra something or other) into the raid and ignoring adds.
Our tank did her best, but could not be everywhere at the same time.

My FC is a very open and friendly place so we made light of it all and had a good laugh about it (It's a game, let's have fun shall we?) which brightened up our FC member which was considering leaving the game.
We abandoned, got a new group and it went damned smooth. Turned out we had 2 other preformed groups with maybe 3 PUG-ed DPS total which had similiar runs to ours prior to meeting up together...

It is sad, most other dungeons don't have this problem. WoD as described in another thread should be renamed "World of Tears"

Kicked in a dungeon because saying "Foe Requiem exists" to the bard.
Kicked in a dungeon for using a macro I have that salutes party and says I'm the crazy relic user, and my progress with the relics.

While I wouldn't personally kick you for doing these, it's not hard for me to see why they would annoy people.

In the first case, "Foe Requiem exists" implies that the Bard doesn't know Foe Requiem exists. You're telling the bard that he doesn't know his job. It's not hard to see why the bard would be annoyed by this, and if the others in the party were the bard's friends, it's not hard to see why they'd agree to kick you. A better way to go about it would have been to say, "May I have Foe Requiem, please?" There's still folks out there sensitive enough to be offended even by that, but they'd have less justification, and you'd have a better story to tell the forum.

In the second case, it comes across as bragging. Additionally, if you spam it a lot, then folks would get tired of it fast - in fact, ANY frequently-used macro that also has chat text is going to get very tiresome, very fast. I'm guessing, though, that you only use it once per dungeon - in which case, the question would be WHY? Why is this information important for other players to know? Perhaps you ARE bragging?

Friend got kicked in WoD once when there was still lockout... at Cerby the votekick poped. I was like wtf and asked in chat what this is for. They told me for being afk. Funny that he stood right besides the party at this time and was freshly buffed >_>
All that had happened was that he stepped on the jump back out at the Atomos fight while trying to bait the devour attack and was locked out only this trashfight.
Well my friend had his weekly loot before this run and only was running it again to give me company and I had nice support in party by someone that agreed that the kick was childy (Seeing they were 5 man on German launcher use I bet they came together).
Anyway ever since we try to run any duty as much as possible premade to prevent unjust kicks (4 weeks or so my friend hadnt even entered WoD if not atleast 5 man premade )

WoD was always filled with these people. They just were focused on their main classes for a time.

It could still be rough, especially later in the week after the more serious players did their tower climb weekly.

The biggest change has been the removal of the loot lockout which means they stay in WoD more, and on their inferior classes looking for more loot.

I tend to only do WoD 1-3 times a week. Nothing left in there for me, and I prefer constructive stress: downing coil.

Sad when FCoB progression is less stress than the 24-man community.

Wish I could watch a season on tank wars, recently the tanks I get don't do diddly dick and I pull all the agro on my WHM and get beat to death. Then comes the obligatory "omg whm noob died" ofc.

The chain ressing I always have to do in this dungeon just makes me hate it all the more, people just cba moving a meter to the right to avoid those aoes.

I once had a tank in Cerberus that said to us "watch I'm gonna take agro it'll be so funny" then he did then proceeded to berate and swear at the other tank in alliance chat. The WoD community is one of never like to experience again...

You think that's bad...God forbid if you go in CT. That place is hell on the great mother earth.

The real question during CT is "What's a tank again?" I mean people be going all out and be imbecile's I can't tolerate it.
It's sad, because it use to be my favourite. People forget what AOE's too...or mechanic's. The dragon with the Skeleton's cannot be DPS raced.
I was like this entire time I'm not kidding you. This is literally my face and my hands when I see dead people left and right and a healer sprinting for his life as he's getting chase across the map and 6 Tank's are lobbin/tomahaking
with a chain of DRG/MNK's trying to get their combo's going and casters getting interrupted and bard's getting the adds and kiting around.

That's just sad - the behavior of some people in WoD is so terrible. Like many, I queue up and get all 3 done every Tuesday, as it seems smoother // seems to get worse the later you get into the week. Also, if you have to PUG, I'd recommend at least doing it on a healer or tank role. That way, should there be some baseless kick, you can get back in quickly. I've never been kicked from any of the CT raids, and always vote 'no' when or if a vote kick comes up (unless it is warranted like for afk or trolls). What I highly recommend, though, and what I usually do, is get a full FC party -- that way, there will never be kicks or such ^_^v

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

World of Salt has certainly got worse by the day, especially after lockout was lifted, I have yet to be kicked for getting multiple greed roll wins in one run (3 is my record and I never got kicked) Every time I run it though, there is always complaining and fighting going on, one wipe will cause the accusations of "nobody here can do their job" or they just leave outright (I generally find wipes more humorous in raids than anything) or people just screaming at each other.

LotA and ST are no exceptions either, but competitively less so, I have had more smooth no nonsense clean runs of those ones than WoD, best WoD party was my first clear, only one person had done the raid previously and was giving us directions in a polite way, we were all cracking jokes and having fun learning the mechanics, we were also like an hour and a half away from maintenance, so it was a race against the clock too.

We try to kick our archer every time we go as a group. Can't have him forgetting what a normal group without us is like.
