I really get so sick of the attitude of higher level people sometimes. Anyways I started a group last night. I am a 57 paladin. I invited a 59 wizard, 54 templar, 52 necro, 55 conjuror, and a 55 warlock. We all decided to go to POF fight through cyclops and do the Tables instance. For anybody who doesn't know Tables is a instance with lvl 59 to 61 lvl mobs and lvl 62 named. Also the normal mobs are grouped as pairs of ^^^, so they are really abit more powerful then your average heroic encounter.
After we get a full group the 52 necro sends me a tell saying you should have invited a tank. I told him I am a tank. He then responds with something like "Well yea but a guardian would be better."
For starters I was the only tank even LFG, and where do people get off with these attitudes? If a paladin is not a tank what is it?? Im sure not a DPS and im sure not a healer? I guess people think a paladin should just be a space filler if there is nobody else lfg? I get so sick of people thinking the only class that can tank is a Guardian. Also when is the last time a Guardian saved anybody with a 2000hp emergency heal, 950 hp ward, or 650 AE heal? When is the last time a Guardian was able to give a group member a 100% rez? Every class has its ups and downs.
Anyways group went through cyclops and we did Table just fine. The only death we had was when we had 4 lvl 61 ^^^ spiders and I doubt a guardian could have done much better. Had no problem tanking lvl 62 named in tables and we did it with 1 healer (yes thats right you don't need to have 2 healers in a group people!).
Thats another thing that ticks me off is people who refuse to group unless they are in a group with 2 healers. You don't need 2 healers in a group if your tank has any clue how to play his/her class. Its hard enough sometimes to find 1 healer, let alone 2.
Anyways wanted to rant abit. This game would be alot more enjoyable if people would quit being so blasted picky. I mean worst case what is going to happen if you get a bad group? Going to die a few times gain debt that will be gone by morning, and spend a few gold on repairs....big deal. Its better then sitting aroudn gaining .10% exp killing solo mobs.
