Wanted to share this and see what others think. Last night the guild decided to put some nek castle groups together. To keep it as short as possible I was one of the first people to show up and ended up standing around with /lfg tag on for over a hour while the late comers showed up. Finnally everybody gets there and after a few minutes I notice everybody but myself no longer has a LFG tag on. So I say I am still lfg and I get a tell saying "Sorry but group 2 needed a healer we don't have room for you." Now I know you obviously need a healer, but what bugs me is one of the last people to show up for this event was in group 2 and they was the exact same class as me, only 3 levels higher. So they can not tell me the healer took me spot. So I told the guild I think this is a bunch of crap because I was one of the first people to show up, have waited for over a hour and now I am the only one without a spot.
Well at this point I guess somebody had to go so they had me a spot open up. So I join up and we are all set to go in. Well for reasons unknown while the group zoned into nek I crash to the desktop. I quickly come back and of course I am back in Nek woods and the group is inside nek castle. I sent the group leader a tell and told them what happened and they said they can't zone out cause if they did they wouldn't be able to zone back in. I have hunted this zone many times and the only time I have ever heard of it locking you out is if you have gotten really deep into the dungeon and started killing mobs for some quest. I know within 3 minutes they had not gotten that far. Even if for some reason they had started a quest that prevented this, they had to have known a group member was missing. I was back in within no more then 3 minutes.
So I tell her you don't get locked out of this zone and I even zoned in and out a couple of times to prove it didn't. Still they refused to come back outside and invite me so that I could come in. They claimed it would take 30 minutes to get back into the zone. Even in pick up groups I have zoned in and out of there and never been locked out and I have several quests inside this zone. Of course I am quite sure if the healer or tank had crashed to the desktop there would have been no problem with this even if they had to wait 30 minutes to go back in.
Anyways I told the guild I was upset, as Im sure anybody would be in this situation and I logged off (it was late anyways).
Perhaps I might have blown up a little too much, but I think I had every right to be upset in this situation? First they try to give me spot away to somebody of the same class who shows up late, then that.
