Curse

lol, it's a zoo... Classic.

I feel your pain. I brought my A/R barrager to the tombs not expecting to be welcomed, but at least figured some B/P-desperate groups would give me a shot. Didn't materialize, and had another A/R send me a tell that I wouldn't really be welcomed (was a big newsflash to me

). He then said "our kind is more welcomed over in Urgoz," which made me chuckle, almost like I had stumbled upon David Spade's fraternity in PCU.

It's a pity because there's tons of possibilities for good, specialized pve groups, but all people want are tanks/nukers/healers & nothing else (because the group would have less tanks/nukers/healers). MM's excluded.

But yeah we all feel the pain of the noob, and the curse that their stupidity has left us with.

Pugplay: LFP, PLF Something blah blah
In pugplay people seem to be looking for what a profession is expected to do like...
- Warrior has to be a tank
- Ele has to be a nuker
- Necro has to be MM
- Monk has to be healer
- Rit has to do whatever, as long as he makes spirits pop up and does funky moves
- Ranger, assassin and mesmer seem to be the ones who are in the gray zone (unless ranger is barrage)

Now, what happens in pugplay is this:
- The warrior with mending, defences and other poop doesn't get hit at all because people just swarm around like mosquitos "I'm a good warrior because i'm the last one to die!!!"
- The nuker ele spams firestorms everywhere and people go "good nuking!!!"
- The necro summons 6 level 10 vampiric horrors and a mini flesh golem and people go like "lolz, it's a zoo out here XD!!!"
- The monk spams healing breezes and is like "I NEEDZ TEH ENERGIEZ"
... (the difference between the examples above and the examples below it that the ones above are predictable. You know that the ele is going to be nuker of some kind, the warrior will be some kind of semi-immortal thing, the necro will pump out minions and the monk will attempt to do some healing. Nobody knows what on earth a mesmer does, how to play alongside an assassin or care about which spirits are being deployed----> people would rather have lots of these guys than they would have assassins)
- The ranger is like "zomg nubs, lemme show you with my scouting powah" *pull*
- The rit is like "yo"
- The mesmer is like "mesmers kick ass but people are too stupid to know that" and then attempts to wand everything to death using absolutely zero things on his skillbar... except echo breeze
- And the assassin is like *WHOOSH* *SPLAT* "rez me noobs!"

^This information should be old news but for some reason, people seem to not see that other people have complained about this before so they don't know that pugging = asking for trouble.

If you play with fire, don't complain if it burns you X.x

I vote for a sticky. (of that post, not the thread)

you make me feel good about my Sin, she solo Xuekao before

I just got my Cantha Protector title today, I feel good but it is a pain to achieve for the same old reason: hatred against Assassin.

I feel bad for Sin (not Ass) and Rt (a lot of people want to use Rt as monk)

If you find it hard getting into groups with an assassin, that's what henchman are for. I don't know, maybe I'm an anomoly, but I'm finding it pretty easy to hench the missions in Factions with my assassin. Personally I think they kick ass, and they're great fun to play.

To those who don't have an Assassin, even an assassin in full FoW is still a noob assassin (Note that FoW armor doesn't necessarily make you "leet", but the fact that you GOT there to the armor guy, completed the quests, and protected the ghosts at the same time says something).

I have no problems finding groups with my assassin. I don't know what the hell you guys did, but you all must be really crappy assassins...

Smimmilar thing with healing Rt, Bonder + healer Ritual Lird is MUCH better then Bonder + Healer monk imo, if Rt has any idea what is he doing.
