    Guildhest Etiquette

    I've regularly encountered another player maining Scholar always goes in to the same Guildhest; Under The Armour. They don't do anything at all, they just stand right under the main target and in the off chance things get a little dicey, expects Eos to pick up the heals. The player has popped up rarely in a few other hests without doing anything but this one is the most often.

    Ok fine I'm don't expecting anyone to go full blown DPS and tear the house down, but surely in general it's poor etiquette to not do anything at all and be carried? It's essentially troll behaviour to do nothing and to use the sad excuse of "you don't play my sub" etc. I'd consider reporting the player but not sure if it's actually worth it.

    Any thoughts?

    SCH using Eos and setting themselve on follow the tank for the entire Guildhest / Dungeon for everything lv30 and below has been happening for years.
    Yes, it sucks! Yes, it is not fair! Do not bother wasting your vote kick on him/her because that person will just re-queue in seconds to another instance and do it all over again.

    As a tank, in some of the dungeons, I make it a personal little mini-game to move myself such that the offending SCH gets trapped and cannot follow anymore. Sometimes the player does not even notice and gets kicked for too long AFK. Offending player gets a penalty, and we (dungeon group) get a new healer which usually tries.

    they're probably a mentor spamming mentor roulette double boxing it with a tank to get that guildhest specifically and afking it to grind out the achievement for the mount.

    Oh this person wasn't a mentor, although saying that perhaps they were spamming it to eventually get Mentor status maybe. The tank tends to vary so I think this is a lone wolf...

    It may not necessarily be that they queue for that 'hest, I suspect the system just picks that one if everyone's queuing for roulette and nothing specific, so it settles on the first one.

    But, I'm pretty sure I've seen that go down with zero heals, so even if they weren't follow/afk-ing, they can just declare their style is "heal only" and they're fine to get away with not doing anything.
