This is why the community/DF is so terrible.

From a certain FC recruitment page:

We are recruiting exceptional players to fill future core raiding spots for end-game PvE raiding content. Our officers are experienced end-game players across a multitude of MMO's. Our goal is to level to 50 as fast as possible, get into end-game raiding content, and earn server firsts.

I had a friend who just took up a DF party for Praetorium.

DF put her in with a group (the quote above is theirs) that swore at her constantly, called her the worst healer ever, told her to go back to WoW, and threatened to report her for watching CS. << I kid you not!

She was locked out of boss fights because they ran in while she was watching CS, and she had abuse after abuse heaped on her.

In the midst of this, she was talking to my FC and threatening to quit the game over it - and we spent most of our time trying to calm her down.


Quite simply, Power gamers have ruined DF, and have diminished the community at large.


Obviously the solution to this problem isn't easy, but a good start would be greatly reduce Tomestone drops from CM and Praetorium. Key storyline dungeons should not be a target for dbag speedrunners.

Something must be done quickly if we are to keep decent and good-willed players interested in the game -- otherwise, we all lose.
