WoW Idiots, part 2

Exhibit B:

I'm not sure whether to call these guys idiots or not. They're fucktards, for sure, but it was some quite genius trolling. Or griefing, rather.

I joined a dungeon queue as dps, took a while to find a group, as usual, then got in with two other dps from random servers and a tank and healer from the same server, who obviously know each other.

Nothing unusual so far. Everyone says hello and picks up the quests at the start of the instance, then the tank pulls a hell of a lot of mobs and we start pwning the crap out of them. Awesome. We got a rhythm going; we don't stop for nothing. Pull pull pull pull pull pull. Getting the next group before the first's dead. A patrol walks into us, I start shooting it to get it off my healer and we beat the crap out of it as we have done everything else so far.

Here's where things start to go wrong. As soon as we're done killing that pack the healer and tank both immediately start screaming 'OMG FUCKING HUNTER' 'WHY U PULL NOOB HUNTER?' 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL'. Interesting. I 'o.O' at them and assume(hope) they're joking. The false sense of security they've lulled me into is enough for me to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Next pack. Another two-mob patrol. The kitty druid picks it up before the tank. The tank and healer start screaming 'OMG FUCKING NOOB DRUID' 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL' but don't actually help out at all. I help the druid out but with everyone else just standing around watching us we both die. Then they kill it. Whilst shouting 'ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!'

Only a couple of packs before the boss. Tank pulls them both, then just stands there doing nothing whilst we dps. Aggro everywhere. Mage dead, druid dead, I feign death but my raptor dies. Tank and healer still shouting 'ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!' and 'LOLOLOLOLOLOL' every time someone dies. Wonderful.

The two of them kill those packs by themselves as we run back.

Enter boss room. Tank pulls by body aggro and nothing else. Stands there and waits for us to dps and get aggro. We're not that stupid but I don't want to be here forever so I send the pet in and wait for him to get a bit of aggro before we start up. He's not a tanking pet but he does alright. I keep getting aggro and having to feign and the druid and mage both get themselves killed (to choruses of another one bites the dust, naturally). Raptor eventually dies when the boss enrages as he can't take the beats with just my heals anymore. Now when I feign it goes onto the tank, who still only has the tiniest margin of aggro. Just a couple of sword swings to make sure it stays off his healer. Tank takes the boss over to where I'm feigned so I start taking aoe damage. Fucker. I move off and start ressing my pet but the tank keeps following me. I manage to get the res off though, healing potion, get the pet back to tanking so the tank can't follow me around with the boss, bandage myself, and proceed to beat the crap out of the boss.

I kill him, woo. I should also probably mention that both tank and healer have been needing on every drop this run, and the awesome hunter loot the boss drops is no exception. Priest wins it. Fucker.

I leave the group, and immediately jump back in the dungeon queue to find the same tank and healer, with two random dps. I feel sorry for those poor dpsers but I'm not surprised when they don't listen to my warning. I leave the group as I can't deal with ANOTHER of those runs, and use my cooldown time to write this up.

UPDATE:

Ran into them AGAIN. Decided not to say anything in hopes that they wouldn't recognise me and we could all just play nice for this instance. First few packs go alright, as before. Then there's some aoe damage and the dpsers just bandage themselves for a while, but get sick of this pretty quickly as you can't really do all that much with bandaging, and the rogue decides to ask for a heal.

All hell breaks loose.

The chat is spammed with caps 'BLASPHEMY' 'FUCKING WORGEN' 'FUCK OFF NOOB' 'NO HEALS FOR U' etc etc, whilst the tank pulls the next pack and just stands there while the dps get beat up and not healed by the healer. Fortunately, us dps kick ass and didn't need their help. It just would have been nice.

Anyway, rather than just going 'wtf?!' at all this, the rogue decides to ask why he can't get a heal. Turns out, these guys are from an RP server and are RPing as racist dicks. Near as I can make out. Apparently they hate worgens.

That's some epic troll/griefing right there.
