I'll preface this by admitting that it's a rant thread. I'm angry and am just venting. You can ignore this thread if you wish.....

So, I just qued up for the fourth turn of Alexander, ("The Burden of the Father"), for my first time. I told the group that it was such as soon as we were in, and asked again before the fight started what I needed to know. The only response I got was "dodge, kill adds, avoid other players". Someone in the party placed A, B, and C markers, but no one explained why. No one else said anything in regards to the fight itself aside from complaining that they had bad DPS in their last run. Part way into the run and I hadn't encountered any issues. I hadn't been hit by any AoEs, and was doing my job. Then when the adds spawned, I began to attack one before noticing that another had been marked with the "1" symbol, which in every other run ever indicates that the party should focus on said target. Of course, I promptly switched targets, and we killed the marked add. Then we wiped and someone claimed it was because the DPS didn't individually take on the other adds. I asked why no one explained that, even though I told them I was running it for the first time, and without another word I was kicked......

What is it with all these Elitist players who expect you to know everything about a run the first time you attempt it, and won't offer any explanations even when you make it clear that you are new, then proceed to kick players after one failed attempt for not knowing what they didn't bother to explain?
