Frustrated at the terrible skill level of players.

Cross-posting is bad, mmmkay?
It's a rant. And Protector loves a good rant.
Carry on.

Hence, the jacket.

An arc that I ran on a character on Monday is not available on Wednesday.
A couple arcs I wanted to try, did not actually give me a mission.
The devs are really hammering the system and limiting those arcs that are "farms".
There are a couple things everyone should understand about Protector and MA:
1. Do not do arcs in MA from Atlas.
2. Turn off broadcast/request in your tabs while in Atlas.
3. MA is not the way to learn how to play your character.
and finally:
If Badge asks you to "try and help him" the arc he is running will cause debt and you best enjoy getting debt.
That is all.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
After the idiots i played with tonight, i'm ready for a straight jacket, believe me!

I still say Attack Plan Alpha Beta Three has a chance!
We just need to get those monkeys singing on key and we are set.
Please don't cross post, every time you cross post a hellion mugs some lady for her purse. Think of the civilians.

I really enjoy the AE system, it's a great tool to create stories and characters, write dialog, and bring some interesting ideas to life. However, i am finding that the majority of players, are simply interested in finding the AE mission which will give them the most XP and influence, for the least amount of effort. Getting into teams with people, who have really no clue of how to play the game, don't understand teamwork, following the Tank, the concept of pulling, or looking at your team roster to see how everyone's endurance is doing before aggroing the next mob, just drives me crazy when these players are in their high 30's 40's and even at 50, because they really have never taken the time to actually PLAY THE GAME. I had a really bad string of PUGs tonight. Used to be that if someone was a level 50, you could count on a certain level of skill and teamwork, because they had worked hard through all the zones, and knew what to do.I'm just frustrated at the ever increasing level of newbies, leveling fast, and not grasping basic game fundamentals. I know PLing is nothing new, however, it used to be the exception, not the rule, and the quality of players has suffered greatly. I really hope this post sinks in to at least one person, and saves one team from wiping, and then i'll be happy.
