    This gave me a chuckle, and you probably have a lot of pent up frustration towards the caricature of a player that you have assumed many of us to be. Let me explain to you what a carry is: it is a scenario where 7 people win a fight through sheer effort to compensate for a player who might as well have not been there. If this group beat the fight in this manner, then this 8th person won without adequate understanding of the fight.

    Now about your accusations towards me, I do not use this word lightly and I do not use it as an abuse or harrassment angle, as you seem to imply that I do. Carrying is a thing that can and does happen in this game, that is a simple matter of fact. How we handle the scenario is where the treatment of players can be discussed, and let me just say: it is OK to remove someone from a group who is not at the standard of your current group. If 7 people are looking for a quick clear and have advertised a quick clear, then someone expecting 3 hours of learning/prog will be booted, that is ok.

    Players being assholes is of course not ok, but I should not be expected to waste 3 hours of my time on someone who is unable to perform to anywhere near the same level as the rest of the group (to be clear, it is the groups responsibility to make it clear the expectation prior to the person joining).

    I've given you the benefit of the doubt with this post, but other responses of yours suggest that you are either trolling, or you have some sort of vendetta against high level players.
