You know, it's really easy to tell when someone is new to a dungeon, even if they won't fess up to it. The first big clue is that they watch all the cut scenes, until like cs number 5, when they've got left behind like 4 times in a row.
Other things - running in front of a mob and aggro'ing it, when everyone else runs behind it. DPS not getting on cannons, or helping out on adds during boss fights. Off tanks not actually off tanking during boss fights, and the list just goes on.
But, what I really want to complain about is when new people actually speak up telling people they are new, and the experienced people just ignore it
I say this, because last night was one of those. And, it was the off tank. I actually stop and try to help out, when we hit the first search light, and he's still watching cut scenes. Everyone else of course runs off, and leaves us behind.
And, while I'm typing trying to explain to him the basics, like, you know, don't watch cut scenes, hug the walls, stay behind mobs....he gets aggro. So, I tell him to drag them to the bottom of the hill, and hug the walls, and then run down myself, warning everyone we have adds inc.
As soon as I get to the boss room, the other tank pulls the boss. The first tank is still up the slope. He manages to make it to the boss room before the lock out...but by running down the middle of the road. You can probably imagine how many mobs he brought with him.
Of course, the experienced tank goes ballistic after the inevitable wipe, and starts yelling at the new guy....I try to explain to the experienced guy why he's a dumb ass, but apparently he couldn't understand it.
Thats the first time I've ever just dropped a group. If I actually had any faith in humanity, stuff like this would make me lose it.
