The polite way to make room on your PuG for an SG mate

Did someone kick you from a PuG recently?

Or is this something you're telling us to tell us?

If it helps any, when I have a full team of PuG and a SG member wants in, I just tell them to wait.

Pretty much. Common sense, I don't understand why some people are so impatient. Had a run in of this years back when CoV first came out, was fighting all purples and couldn't hit things so then they kicked me out. When I asked why they said to make room for a guildy.

Either they're children or they have that mentality.

Frankly, people in PUGs leave quite often enough in even an hours' sitting. So the only "polite" way to go about it is just wait for that room to open up.

Sadly part of the problem is you are asking for politeness in a game where, in many cases, rudeness is more the norm. I have responded to posts in globals advertsing for a particular Task force or trial i wanted for my character and the leader said sure he'd save me a spot (since I was on a villain and he was a hero.. ITF in case you wondered). I ouro portaled to cap, flew to the midnighter club, zoned into Cimerora and sent another tell letting him know I was in zone.. Now I did all that as quickly as possible so i didn't make the team wait a long time.. but when i finally arrived in zone I was informed "Oh we filled"

Now I have formed teams of my own and understand that a leader can be dealing with a pile of tells depending on the Tf and the time of day but if you promised someone a spot on a team the PLOLITE thing to do is not turn right around and give it away.. At the very least that leader could have had the decency to send a tell back saying "Sorry we over recruited, or whatever, and the team is full" I was IN a solo mission when that opportunity arose... I quit the mission, and zoned like 3 times to get there only to be turned away. If he'd have gotten back to me at least maybe I wouldn't have had as long a trip back to where I started.

Fortunately the vast majority of the community isn't like that but the sad fact is your post will fall on deaf ears to the those that NEED the education. There are good players out there leading.. I have seen I Trials where in the confusion 1 too many players got invited and the leader did ask if anyone was willing to leave.. if not he made it clear that a last in/first out policy would apply.. so the last person invited would be the one to go. on more than one occasion someone else stepped up and said they coud wait or had other things they could do and wished us well before quitting.

If you had a bad experience recently I hope things go better for you. Its unfortunate but it does happen.. just forget about it and move on chances are the next team will be better anyway.. face it if the leader is an impolite jerk forming the team, a time where you'd think being NICE would be to his advantage, what will he be like once you start running missions.

Consider it a public service message from a player that has observed an increasing level of rudeness in the game. It is not at levels seen in other MMOs, but it is more than it used to be.

Eh that's relative heresy because my past experience would suggest nothing has changed. A lot of factors need to be taken into account and most of which we will never get our hands on. But a lot can determine what sort of hour of the day you play and who, across the world, you maybe encountering.
