Facerolling is Bad M’kay - Page 2
“But I don’t have time to sit and read a lengthy strategy, or watch some corny video. Can’t I just figure it out as I go?” No, you really can’t . If you don’t have the time to sit and read up on the fights you will be encountering then in my opinion you have no business trying to do instances. Stick to single player and save me and the rest of the population the headache.
At the very least download some boss mods, speak to some people with more experience than you and get a general idea of what you are up against. Even mastering the most basic rule of WoW (never, ever stand in anything unless otherwise instructed) will save you much embarrassment and give the impression that you at least have some idea of what you are doing. Keep in mind, if you are dead, you are useless.
Then of course you have the players that there is no hope for. No amount of reading, training, or explaining will help them. They are just clueless. What makes it even more annoying is that most of these players have no idea why they just got kicked from the 5 man, or are benched at every single raid. They just don’t get it, and probably never will.
If they weren’t busy making extra work for the group and possibly wiping it, they could almost be felt sorry for. Heck if it didn’t’ happen over and over again it might even be considered funny. The fact of the matter is they will fail, and will continue to fail no matter how many excuses you make for them.
How
exactly these players fail so hard I have no idea. Even if you
haven’t read the strategy on a fight, shouldn’t it
be obvious that you should move out of the huge green gas puddle, or
rather large patch of fire you are currently standing in? Even if you
manage to miss these things, shouldn’t you notice that your
health is dropping rather quickly? Or maybe after the first time, you
should realize that you did something wrong and attempt to not repeat
the mistake?
Let’s say you manage to miss all these things any player with boss mods (and every player should really have them) should get ample warning that they are doing something they shouldn’t be doing. Most boss mods will go crazy, making your screen shake, blasting loud annoying noises, and popping a huge warning across your screen. Yet some players still manage to fail in spite of all this.
I do realize that not every single player is going to be an amazing player. But if my 4 year old could possibly play better than you and die less then perhaps you need to reevaluate what you are doing. It may even be time to choose another game, because WoW is never going to be a game where you don’t have to pay attention.
No one likes to wipe repeatedly, and if you are constantly dead, you are nothing more than a hindrance to the group. They may as well be doing the instance without you. So to those face rollers out there, as the title of this article states, face rolling is bad m’kay. So if you find yourself dead most of the time, and you find yourself having a harder and harder time getting into groups, there is probably one very logical explanation. You are the weakest link. Goodbye!
