You
know it’s going to happen. It always does. Sometimes by the
same person over and over again, or by different people each time.
Regardless of if you are instancing with a 5 man PUG or a well oiled
raid group, there will always be at least one.
You know who I’m talking about. That person who makes it so
obvious that they have no clue what they are doing that it makes most
question whether they play by face rolling on the keyboard. That person
who has such poor situational awareness that it’s a running
joke within the guild. Sure they might be a nice person, but man do
they fail.
They stand in fire, gas clouds, and various other nasties on the
ground. They can’t do the slime dance, or make the jump to
Thaddius in Naxxramas, and you just know that they are going to forget
to turn around when Eadric the Pure casts his Radiance. Never mind that
a huge warning goes across your screen.
I’m
sure that these players do not feel they are in the
wrong. Nor do I think that they are failing in this way to be
malicious. In fact I’m sure that there are those out there
(these face rollers included) that would defend them Maybe pulling out
the excuse they are casual players, who don’t have a lot of
time, and therefore we should go easy on them. But I think that this
excuse is nothing short of a load of Tauren dung.
The old casual player excuse kills me. Mostly because in the last
expansions and patches Blizzard has made WoW much more accessible to
the casual player. However WoW is never going to be a game where you
can just hop on and play. You are going to have to do some work
beforehand. The grind, the farming, and other preparations are as much
a part of the game as any instance.
