    Sorry I've always been a venomancer enthusiast, just hated the squishyness. But yeah as Krisnda stated, would relate that I would have some trouble finding squads If I'm ever forced to find random squads for anything. People will be like 'O.O What are you doing!?" to me. That will get annoying for sure I can say.

    That's still not quite as funny as the occasional BH100 squad that is looking for any class... and the WC ends with "Pm level".

    my biggest pet peeve is weapon linking. So to combat this annoying habit I troll people who ask for weapon link, i will link them anything but my r9 weapon. Currently i have been using the prize from tw b:chuckle However for caster nirvana most the time just saying "psychic" is enough to get an invite i do not even have to link a weapon.

    "I need, please wait for me to do base quest."

    These are the people who usually take a half hour to do the base quest, and it's not like BQ is going anywhere. You can get it done at anytime of the day. I'm not gonna wait an half hour so you can save like 20k, when you'll probably make that back doing the BQ anyway. ><

    Was running BH RB wave 3 the other day when I notice one member of the party is just standing around hardly doing anything. Occasionally targeting and killing a single mob, then more standing around. I ask about it and he says "sorry, my sin is in BH as well on the other screen." In any other BH I would have booted him... but you can't replace someone in RB.

    Unfortunately this is all too common in my runs these days. I really wish people would NOT join a BH that they are not capable of participating in. I'm starting to think I should start wcing "no multiclienters please."

    Frankly, you should have booted the person. If they aren't doing anything they may as well not be in squad.... So not like replacing them is an issue.

    Well at the time I really hoped he would straighten up for wave 3. You need all the DD you can get, there.

    This really ticks me off too.
    It's one thing if both chars are in the same bh, but doing 2 separate bhs on 2 different chars at the same time is just... rude. Especially considering that most multi-clienters are running both clients on 1 computer, they're not even playing at half capacity. At least if you have 2 different monitors you have a better chance at actually participating, but chances are one screen gets more attention anyway.

    The thing that really annoys me right now...
    Alt factions on the TW map. Especially ones that are named pretty much the same as the main faction is named. Seriously guys -_- it just makes you look greedy n totally spoils the fun. New TW is great with all the names up now! Double-dipping should totally be against the rules >.>
    Want to TW on not your main, you person in big TW faction you? Join an independent, smaller faction that accepts alts to TW. There's a bunch, and you probably know people in them already, and they could really use your support too.

    Ran SoT today with a level 101 cleric, all seemed good until she got killed by aoe. So 2 more tries and she got killed again. So we ask...do you got O malleys? She says:

    "No"
    We ask why and to get one.
    "son said facebook had a virus, its bad, never used one"
    We said naturally no facebook has no virus, we all have a blessing and our computers are good. Please get one.
    "Can anyone rez me? If not I'll release"(On a squad where shes the only cleric and she used up mystic rez....really?)
    *she releases and comes back without a blessing*
    *We get boss down to low hp, she dies, half the squad wipes and boss gets killed*
    ...

    Annoying squishy clerics who don't use O malleys at certain bosses and refuse to do so are ANNOYING.

    Blessing shouldn't be necessary. If she's a one shot, she'd of probably been simply a two shot afterwards. Her gear or stats are probably not good enough to be in SOT.

    Boss doesn't aoe twice in such a fast time frame to kill her. So we wouldn't have squad wiped.

    Also drunk clerics. Ran a FB SoT and we had a drunk cleric off Vodkha, she kept afk'ing repeatedly for 5-10 minutes 3-4 times througout the run before we finally finished the SoT run. Felt like forever.

    For some reason, it's always kind of annoyed me that the wristguards on the equipment screen is on the left side near all the ornaments. I've always considered wristguards/gauntlets part of a "full" set (helm,body,legs,boots, gloves, maybe even pauldrons) in other games. Though I suppose if they changed it for some reason, it would just confuse me because I'm used to it now.b:chuckle

    Nevertheless, not everyone has a facebook. Some people don't use facebook for personal reasons. Sounds like she is one of them. Perhaps her son has found a way to get a virus onto her computer from facebook. Obviously Facebook itself can't, but people's kids click on bad links all the time. Probably a good idea is to let them know about the attendance blessings, which don't require them to do things outside of the game. They aren't the best but they should allow the person to (just barely) live. There are also base buffs they could be using for HP if there is no barb in the squad. And if you had a seeker in the squad, they should have given her the defense level buff. All in all though, I think perhaps should've just kicked the cleric. Was the cleric in BB, because that alone should have been enough for anyone whose gear wasn't broken.

    She was in BB. But her gear was poor, and she had 3.7k HP. Not the average amount at all for a 101 cleric. Didn't wanna kick her cause didn't wanna be rude but if anything like that happens next time, I might kick the cleric if the squad can't work with them.

    Next time tell them they don't have the proper gear. Tell the cleric to wait an hour and go with a different squad using the attendance blessing. And then let them leave on their own accord. Be nice about it and help them out so they know it's not them, it's just that they aren't ready for the instance yet and are missing some things. It's not rude to ask that people have the gear to be able to complete the instance without getting everyone else constantly killed. You don't have to be rude about it and you don't have to put up with it. It's not an either or kind of thing. If you feel bad about it, you can even offer to help sometimes. I did that once with a mystic I had to kick out of snake because she tried to come as a healer but wouldn't have even survived the aoe without BB.
