We all end up running with various forms of groups in World of Warcraft and any time you are grouped with other players there is a chance that you happen upon a real winner. Some players seem destined to travel through the game blissfully ignorant of others, basic gameplay mechanics, and often even their own class and role. When you run into them inevitably you will hear something that makes you cringe and wonder why Darwinism doesnt weed these people out faster.
I just joined for the badges, I'm going AFK for a while, be back for final boss - Players have started to see this more and more often lately. For the last several months, essentially since ICC launched, heroics have become so much of a joke that a good tank and healer combo can 2 man them, and with even somewhat decent gear you can three man them. Players have picked up on this and are now AFKing for 90% of the instance and just coming back for the end. With the 15 minute timer before you can kick someone, you have already done most instances by the time you can kick the player.
