Rhidach, that little line of script “/ignore x-y” is going to save me a lot of stress let alone hair on my head. I’ve run into some real winners in my path to the Perky Pug.

@ Falowin next time coordinate with your tank and healer then toss tricks of the trade on the offender. Leave their dead body on the ground and keep going. If they run back in just rinse and repeat.

By The way, the vote kick needs to be fixed…it takes too long. If it is unanimous then why wait?

Demo and I did a heroic with a DK who was doing 700 DPS…he wasn’t on follow, he was actually running around, and even said a few things in party chat. Obviously he was either the worst player on earth, or he had bought his account, or he was playing someone elses toon…either way It took us 90% of the heroic to kick him. We voted after three or four trash pulls and didn’t get rid of him until just before the last boss….why the wait?

I have been seeing more and more douchebaggery like this myself. One pug in an otherwise all-guild run was pissed because Demo didn’t have time to do some small heroic achievement that he wanted. Well, instead of dropping group he stayed and on the final boss he needed the orb and everything else and told us to eff ourselves. Fortunately, I recognized that he was a douche and saved my roll. I rolled need as well and won the orb and the epic. One Orb in my bag, one Abyss Crystal in the G-Bank…and one sad little douchebag who will live to angry ninja another day.

Absolutely agree with this. Right after the first need I would’ve left. I’m sorry, but “Auto-Need” doesn’t fly with me. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s definitely gotta be a duck right?

The "screw over the one pugger" boss group-kick move bothers me especially because it's pretty common for the most night-owl players of our guild to pug out one spot, and we try our best on principle to make sure whatever random helper we get gets a fun, smooth time. The understandable automatic assumption that we plan to screw that person makes me sad. .-= LabRat's last blog ..New Year’s VC =-.

I play on Illidan, he’s a baby ninja in contrast.

@Hana: I think “/ignore Flipmattic-Nazjatar” will put him on your ignore list and prevent the system from ever matching him up with you.

I too have experienced the joys of pugging with ninjas. My last one wasn’t too bad, he only ninja’d the orb at the end, but Nennxt of Seriously Casual (Sargeras) now has an entry on wowjackass.com, which is at least a small comfort.

Since I don’t see a star-rep system implemented anytime soon, someone should start thinking about making a ‘wow-heroes’-like website where you could rate the a-holes you group with that do that kind of thing. It’d be nice to be able to plain drop group in advance by knowing that players reputation.

Yesterday had a huntard roll need on every single Ymiron drop and drop group the same as you saw, just that we didn’t ‘see it coming’.

There’s also some new kind of master douchbaggery where people just kick you mid-fight on last boss, trying to screw you out of the loot and possibly the badges. After seeing that one, I’m usually disturbed when I join an almost-full guild group (ah, the old times where you’d relieved to join some guild run).

There should definitely be a way to punish at very least the worse abusers of this system with a weekly ban or so.
