Players joining Vet dungeons with no knowledge of runs...

[Gideon Frost]

I took a break yesterday due to the fact each time I qued for my Vet Dungeons I got a group who was absolutely clueless. Why are you going into vet runs with no knowledge of runs? Do it on normal until you understand it. Or, better yet watch the you tube vids on the run, I watch vids because I am a tank it is my job to know the run. Problem with knowing the run is you will get some player who is clueless standing in AOE's and not doing any mechanics of run.... dying as I avoid AOE's and stay alive and do mechanics no problem. Then I get the one dying blaming me why because I am tank? I explain that I watched him or her stand in a AOE puddle and or not block and die or not interrupt the mob and die. Either way there nothing more annoying than a person with no clue blaming you for their laziness and lack of skill. Learn the runs on normal do not attemp vet runs until you learn it. No, it is not my job to teach your lazy ass. If that to rough, go cry into your pillow, get a clue, then come back and see me. If you do not do any of these things suggested, your a disrespectful player and are wasting the other party members time. I care not about your feelings if your a player that doesn't research.

What OP said and friggin bow users queuing up as tanks for dungeon runs bother me to no end. Sure you won't need it if the rest of the team is made of 810CP people. But if that not the case, surely it's not too much trouble to just read up on dungeon mechanics.

find a regular group to join dungeons in a pve guild. Or do like me and make ur build half dps and carry everyone daily ...

You're doing it wrong. You're waiting for the dps to trash you, that's not how you do it.

When you're in pugs and you spot a dps going stupid. You tell him, if he's not reasonable you vote kick him. Better yet, you tell them beforehand. People tend to stay in check when they know you're watching them.
You're the tank, that means you're the lead, not a victim. Dps have 2 jobs : deal damage and shutting up.

Hey binky.

I agree with experiencing it firsthand through normal methods first. Ive not even played the game yet and can understand that. However, I refuse to watch other people play a game so that I can learn what I will be experiencing later. That defeats the purpose and I would suggest is better advice for anyone running an "elitist" mode, if one such option exists.

not watching but there are folk who are simply not good at the game , when you kick them without telling them they will never get good at it

this game is "game for casuals" with all its up and downs ,downs being even on veteran you get clueless players

i had lots sucesful runs when leader actualy spoke to folk rather then "omg your noob *kick*"

I did a run in Vet and everyone did fine. I kept them alive :D

Hey guys you bought this game but don't you dare join content you paid for!

[B〄F Altonator]

Well i just tried my first veteran dungeon. Was a dungeon i never saw before as well.
Died 2 times. One was my own stupid fault for falling down a death hole lol and the other was to a final boss insta-kill move which wiped the whole team.
Other than that the dungeon went perfectly well.

To be honest i was expecting more of a challenge. You make it sound like they are for experienced players only.
True, i have almost 400 hours in the game so i guess i am experienced enough to cope with new challenges, but i see no problem for those with far less hours either.

I type out: "l2p" and the i leave the party and watch netflix for 15 minutes while i wait for my cooldown and reque..... rinse & repeat until eyes bleed. el oh el

Some of the Vets are pretty easy, some are not March of Sacrifices, Ruins of Mazzatan, Fang Lair, Frost Vault, Moon Grave Fane can be PUG killers. A lot of the new DLC's dungeons can be pretty rough. Then you have Arena's like Dragon Star. I am not saying all Vets are super hard, but there are ones like Frost Vault that have a ton of new mechanics. Yes, I figure for my heavier runs though that I am going to have to get a guild that focus's on Vets, Trials, and the harder content. Its a shame but that seems to be the only way to save frustration. I just ask that if you haven't run a dungeon don't que it for vet on the 1st run. I used to have patience but now if your in Vet with me and you don't know run I will vote to kick. Don't be a selfish player if you haven't run it, please do it on normal 1st to learn it or mechanics. Wasting the party's time is disrespectful to the people in your party. ~ Thanks for the comments, even the bad ones.

Looks like you should create a "LFG" thread instead of "let's vent for no reason because the people you described can't even read" thread
