If Brannor can have one then so can I.
Having spend the last week levelling a new alt, I have had the opportunity to sit and read alliance chat, and a quiet week at work has given me time to read through the forums, and I have noticed a few things.
1. Bitching
People have been bitching saying things such as "I will not go on a raid organised by Durgi"
Fair enough, if you do not have faith in Durgi as a raid leader, you are allowed your own opinion, but do you have to bitch at him
on the forums, maybe He is not the best leader, but at least he is trying.
Think you can do better? Prove it.
2. Lack of communication on raids
Again it was noted that multiple chat groups were active during raids, and that unclear orders were not being given.
If you are acting as leader on a raid, you need to give clear and concise information so those plans can be executed efficiently.
This cannot be done with multiple chat groups and people ignoring orders.
If a raid has been organised by a specific person or guild, it is only fair to respect them and follow their orders.
To the leader, may I recommend that you have a chat group just for guild officers present on the raid, and everything else is done through alliance chat or guild chat, and also how about setting up macros, so rather than just yelling pull guards, you can give detailed orders quickly.
3. General Communications
The number of times I have seen the following on alliance chat
"ALBS!!!!!1"
"How many and where?"
"Emain, loads of em"
"where in emain?"
"Near Silo"
"Where they Heading?"
etc.
etc.
When a simple
"10 albs in emain heading from Silo to x"
Would be a lot quicker and easier.
4. Watching People Die
I have been playing my new alt for about 4 days now, and so far there have been 4 instances where people have stood
and watched me die, even when I yell.
This server would be a nicer place if people helped out other people once in a while, 10 seconds of your time could save someone else 10 minutes.
5. Lack of common sense.
Random flames
a. Don't pull mobs when your main tank is out of endurance.
b. Don't bitch at the groups healer for running away when you have just pulled 8 reds.
c. Speed killing yellows/oranges is better exp than slow killing reds/purples
d. Just because you/your alt are higher level, does not been that you know more stuff about DAoC
e. Bezerkers do not make better pullers than shamans
f. Sometimes...just sometimes mobs resist mez's...there is nothing we can do about it, and no amount of insults will change this.
