Random of Reflections

Crusader Manners had a bad time of it last night using the random dungeon finder.

She ended up in a partially completed HoR (just the running away apart was left) and the first thing the tank demanded to know was how the DPS of the newcomers was. Crusader Manners should have known that this was going to be a problem if that's what he was focused on, rather than his own tanking skills.

He then proceeded to call names, vote to kick a party member for low dps, and totally failed to keep aggro from Crusader Manners and the warlock. Crusader Manners admits to quitting the group after the third wipe, which of course was not cool at all.

The moral of this story is that you've got to focus on doing your job to the best of your ability before you can critique how other people are doing theirs.

The second moral is that someone should tell Blizzard that it would be really nice to not to waste your 15 minutes if you decline to clean up someone else's mess.

Crusader Manners will be answering another reader question before the end of the evening.

Note: Crusader Manners realizes that this post sort of contradicts the rule of blame she posted previously. The rule of blame doesn't quite seem to apply in this case entirely - but I don't quite know how to fix it. If the tank can't hold the aggro and the dps pulls back, then Arthas catches up and kills the whole party. In this one, everybody's got to be holding up their own end, or the whole thing falls apart. I suppose that's why it's called teamwork.
