The only exception if he was not on LFG, you asked him to join because you lacked 1 player. This case he does you a favor therefore you shall wait for him.<BR/><BR/>I'd also argue if someone offered to respec wait patiently.

Back then we knew our gear limitations but we know everyone on the team are good players.<BR/><BR/>Eventually players from my team started to pass on heroics. That's where we started to get PUGS. <BR/><BR/>We would check their stats before sending out an invite.<BR/><BR/>Better gear will compensate for some player skill which allows more room for error.<BR/><BR/>All this check was to avoid wasting time and gold. Another big factor was the moral of the team.<BR/><BR/>When I start doing heroics on my alt I wouldn't just go in there w/o proper gear as I know first hand the frustration it will bring to the rest of the party.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955589139242446546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-58055750636680444122008-12-31T12:39:00.000+01:002008-12-31T12:39:00.000+01:00Our brains seem to be a bit attuned.

Before they...Probably right with this healer thing. Before they changed the spellpower for healers I wouldn't even consider this, but this days healers can also dps quite a bit... which is kinda what I do most of instances on mobs clearing. Mobs dead faster means less healing needed and shorter run.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps one day I will try to go with few tanks, could be interesting experience. Though would probably get few angry whispers from people on LFG, for going to instance with 2 or more tanks, while they've been looking for one for hours :DEffroToolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556470440241351545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-22837706705825792902008-12-31T09:18:00.000+01:002008-12-31T09:18:00.000+01:00numbering fixedFrom the gear you can judge the pla...numbering fixed<BR/><BR/>From the gear you can judge the player somewhat. So if I have to decide between a Naxx geared second healer and a green rouge, I take the second healer.<BR/><BR/>7: that exception is there "if the tank damages more than 1500". However if there is AoE tanking, AoE DPS is available. There is not a palatank in the world who should outdamage an Arcane explosion spamming mage or Volley spamming hunter.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-31547663729335623782008-12-31T09:05:00.000+01:002008-12-31T09:05:00.000+01:00There are 10 rules there... or did you actually pl...There are 10 rules there... or did you actually plan to have two rules No5, in that case which to follow? ;)<BR/><BR/>As for current rules:<BR/>5b. Bringing the player not class. Sure if you know the people, but if you know them is it still a PuG? Or rather a premade one. Othere then following rule 5a, you have no other way to judge the player.<BR/>6. Can pass on this one if before inviting or during the filling of the group one says he's going to finish quest/some business/BG. But after the whole group is ready and we still wait another 5 minutes for him to accept the summon it's just a kick.<BR/>7. with the current AoE type of dungeon clearing I think pala tanks can kinda hit high on dps when fighting some undeads (Stratolme?). So probably could find here quite a few exceptions.<BR/><BR/>Too bad I'm too good hearted person to be able to follow most of those rules, as I usually tend to give people a chance. Though I did it once in my lifetime. In some raid where one guy was ninja pulling, calling for heals so kinda lot of things to make a raid turn into a horror. Kicked him, after that raid told me why did I kick him and said to reinvite him... well sure if you like it this way. Me or him. Left the damn pug... 2 minutes later it was over. Guess that's what happens when bad player stays and good one leaves in a crappy pug. Gogo rule No8.EffroToolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556470440241351545noreply@blogger.com
