And once again I returned to AoC, but sadly noticed, that it's hard to get a group, what doesn't wipe even the easiest khitai inis. In the last 2 weeks I always went with my friends, so 3 of us was always fix (2 tanks and 1 rouge), so actually the only thing we need is 1 healer...and even like this we fail a lot of times. But let's see a few examples without names:
1. Flame, usual structure: I'm with my friends (2 tanks + rouge) looking for healer and 2 random dps. Got 1 PoM, starting and I noticed that my MT friend dies pretty fast. No problem, I get aggro and do my OT job, but I'm also dying damn fast. At 75% when I have a bit time I check and the PoM has rank 4 blue heal instead of rank 6. Tell him fast to change it pls, cause he is the only healer, but he doesn't do anything. Told again, nothin, still rank 4. We survived, but at the end when I mention it again, he got pissed, told us he was able to heal alone before in mona, we are stupid and ragequits.
2. Flame, same structure, but now we get a BS, pretty good geared. But somehow he forgot to put blue heal on us. So I ask him to heal pls, then again, this one also gets pissed, that he is the healer not me and he has cooldown on it...I ask about the blue, cause it's 3 sec and that's what we need. Then he calls us idiots so I kicked him.
3. Necropolis, I got a tell from a sin as DPS: "full T4 sin, awesome gear". I was already like, jesus who cares, but okay, let's see how it goes. And what happens? First he pulls the boss while 1 member is not in the room, 1st wipe. 2nd wipe: he got aggro, MT can't take it, OT can't take it, but the sin continues to dps until he is dead. He says we are noobs and he ragequits.
4. Biggest fail: Ardashir fort, first boss down superfast, noone dies, awesome group until the crabs... We have two healers, but the BS dies, cause he doesn't know when to sidejump and everyone dies cause the pom forgets to heal again. We explain him, told him to watch the chat and when we see he has to jump, we will write it in the chat. Of course he dies at every attempt, PoM doesn't heal and when I ask to heal pls, instead of answering, he turns off his vanity and shows us he is full T4. That doesn't really help on the fact, that I didn't have any green or blue heal on me, I even made a video about it, cause I couldn't believe what I see. Of course we wiped the whole ini...
And that's just a few examples... Probably this problem has more roots. First of all the decreasing population, but I don't think it's the main reason. I would say it's the world boss and T4. I know T4 sounds ridiulous, but at 70-80% of the time we have a T4 geared member, we wipe: healers do dps rather healing, but mostly these guys just take aggro and then they die. It's like they get a brain wash and they forget, that they are playing with T1/2 and Khitai geared chars or they just simply feel like they are the best, the superheroes of AoC.
Is it really just me or anyone of you feels the same way?
