    Some groups you just gotta know how to let go.

    When I was leveling AST up, I had a pretty bad group setup for stone vigil as well. It was a DRK tank, and 2 MCH dps, along with me.

    The first pull took 10 minutes to down, and i ran out of MP by the end of it. The tank couldn't hold aggro on more than one thing for very long. Every time i'd cast any heal he'd lose aggro on something. I could overlook this if the dps was okay, but it almost felt as if they weren't doing anything. In the large room a short ways from the beginning, we hit a wall, the tank kept pulling too big, and i couldn't keep up with him. His health was going down faster than i could spam Benefic 2, not to mention that the dps and I were also taking damage due to his inability to keep aggro for more than 2 seconds.

    I can't help but feel i could have done more for that group if i were any other healing job than AST. Either way, i politely explained why i could not stay in that group, and bailed.

    My tolerance level is....I don't care. I like seeing new people join the game. XD Helps keep the game alive XD.

    But yeah np with new players. I'l just kinda shrug my shoulders, explain the mechanics, and make most with what job I play (which is mostly healers btw).

    1) When I play tank, I have way less tolerance.
    2) When I play healer, my tolerance reaches its max level. Which is a lot.
    3) When I play DPS, I just pew-pew things and YOLO all the things.

    Yeah, how stupid to expect a tank to actually act like he's part of a group and not just a self-important tool, huh? Please learn how capitalization works, also.

    My tolerance of people who don't play their jobs optimally is pretty much non-existent. When they counteract with "I can play this game however I want!" I try my very best not to lose it. Now, I will have some leniency with people who under perform in casual content like dungeons, but if you're wasting people's time in raid content oh my lord oh my GOD holy SHIT.

    Tolerance? What Tolerance?

    I used to have a high tolerance for new people. Then when world of darkness became a game of how many times can you wipe within one boss, it quickly declined. Just today for instance a ninja decided we should take a conversation to whisper....in a dungeon....when the conversation was about the tank learning flash to help him keep aggro. The monk in my party kept pulling aggro because the tank couldn't hold it. It was awful. The worst part is the ninja who got snappy with us and told us to stroke ourselves elsewhere doesn't even have whm to 50, but has conjurer? It's been a long day..

    My tolerance as a player is very high when it comes to player mistakes. I'm easily forgivable on that, as we are human. But I wont tolerate insults and such.

    That can happen if a tank isn't rotating their aggro combos between each mob(can also happen if the rest is vastly overgeared but it's also easy to get aggro back).. You really can't stand there an attack one mob the whole time, and expect the mobs to not eventually aggro the healer or the DPS that maybe attacking it. So yeah, if you spot a tank tunnel visioning on one mob, you're in for a rough ride.

    I'm kinda new player, 3 weeks in now that i have had time to play. Just got into Heavensward. As a healer i keep regen always up on bosses, its my first spell i cast or aero 1.

    Overall my tolerance level is very very high. My longest raid times have been from 4 to 6 hours in single boss, Age of Conan MMORPG. As long as people try i can go pretty much forever as long as i see improvement.

    Here in 15-50/HM dungeons

    What i don't tolerate at all is other healers (if i tank/dps) who refuse to dps while clearing adds or when tank does not need healing at certain points. They just stand there without doing anything. Even if you tell them that we could do runs much faster if they would dps while healing is not needed. Most of them refuse to listen, because they probably would ruin their TV watching focus?
    Bad thing is that most of them are clearly geared veterans . This is clearly slacking.
