A few weeks ago I was in the Rikti War Zone when some folks started organizing a ship raid. Snuffy (not his real name) puts together the first team, but for some reason decides that he doesn't want the star. So the star gets passed to another player. Then *he* doesn't want the star, so it goes back to Snuffy, then to another player, then to yet another! So I jokingly say in team chat, "Oooh, I haven't had the star yet!" So I get the star. Didn't really want it, but it's a ship raid -- not like I have to do anything other than follow the other teams and shoot Rikti.
The raid starts, and Snuffy is acting like he's in charge. That's fine at first, because you need someone that knows what they're doing to coordinate the teams on the pylon attacks. But once the shields drop and we're on the ship, it continues. He keeps shouting for us to plant bombs, to push towards the center of the ship, to go get our exploration badge, to kill the big boss, all of which we're trying to do, but it just wasn't going our way on this raid. We're faceplanting left and right, and before you know it the shields are back up and we never made it to the center of the ship.
Back at the base, he starts ripping into everyone about how they weren't following his directions, how we needed to get to the center of the ship, etc, etc. While he's ranting I quit the team but remained on site. Someone suggests giving it another go, and suddenly this guy barks at me, "Send out invites or pass the star." Yeah, this from the guy that didn't want the star to begin with. I say, "I'm not even on the team anymore," and fly off. As I'm heading back to the Vanguard base, Snuffy sends me two team invites, which I refuse.
Once the second attempt gets under way, I join another team and have fun.
