    Sorry, but in 13 years of playing MMO games I was proven too many times that trusting random people from the start is a bad idea. I won't care if my HP is like 20-30% out of max most of the time, but if I see that it is dangerously near to K.O., I'm not going to sit there thinking "oh maybe he'll heal me now, just a second later" when 8 out of 10 cases lead to the exactly opposite result if I don't use invulnerability skill.

    Mind me, situations like this don't happen often to begin with, but when they do - in about 80% of cases the only outcome I see is that blindly trusting random people by default was a mistake. Soooooo nope, thanks, I learned the lesson from... countless mistakes I repeated because I had hope.

    I don't mind wipes in general because when I enter the dungeon I'm ready to spend entire 90 minutes there, but I still stay on my opinion regardeless: if healer values dps higher than his party health, he's not suitable for being a healer. That's it. Outside of this, wiping won't make me mad or something, it just will prove that I wasn't wrong in not trusting to a pug (or that I overstimated my own capabilities in some cases as well). And I prefer being proven people were worth the trust and I was tensed for nothing, not the opposite. That said, I prefer being ready for the worst and then being surprised in a good way rather than going in a blind believe that everyone will give their all to be only dissapointed later.
