Certain People Shouldn't Lead Task Forces

Ok....this seems like the place to vent a recent TF. Joined a PUG Renault TF this week.

First Mission (Save Barracuda) - Besides finding and bring Barracuda out, you have to deal with a couple of ambushes. All Longbow.

If you fail this mission (ie Barracuda dies), unlike other TFs, you have to do that mission again. So team was a little scattered and after we got Barracuda, half of the team didn't stay with Barracuda or help escort her out. We got some nasty ambushes and Barracuda likes to get into the thick of it. She died....mission failed....rinse repeat....same mish, same location. I chalked this one up to people not paying attention or people assuming that an escort mish is easy and they'll just kill stuff until the rest of us escort her out.

Second try, same exact result. A few of us mentioned we need to stick together before we got started. Half of team totally disregarded the mission objective AND disregarded our team chat to stick together and get her out. Not to mention, not hanging with team leader or tank.

I swear it seemed like they didn't understand English or they were RPing that they were idiots. It was weird. Sure, I've seem 1 or 2 people go off and do their own thing......but half the team?

After second failure on FIRST mission and 30 minutes of wasted time....one guy logged off without a word. It didn't bode well for the rest of the TF. I explained my frustration and apologized to those who were "normal" and then quit. Just one of those days....bad team and with limited time to play....couldn't waste it.

Trust me I can totally relate to that. Also wondered the same things. "Maybe they dont speak english" "maybe they're not watching team chat" "maybe theyre just plain stupid" lol. I dont care how ub3r l33t you think your toon is. Either youre going to die or the team is going to die because of you.

Prove to the team you are worth a damn by sticking with them and by listening to the team leader. Generally it works better that way. If the leader is stupid and the team sucks dont waste time trying to solo. Just find another team or, just a thought, make your own ( novel idea isnt it? ) hehehe
