Is it seriously happening already?

Left a SSA team because a bunch of the members were being extremely rude.

I wish I could name names. Are we seriously getting that crowd already?

I am paid to be rude.

E'chuta!

Damn foreigners coming in, taking our land, our jobs, and our women!

Long before F2P my Dominator was routinely kicked off LRSF's... for being a Dominator.

That crowd, I'm sure, is the same you one just encountered or their ilk.

Rude people have always been around, mang.

Wait, Encharger has women? Wha??!

I have yet to encounter a rude person on Victory *tempts fate*

You should stick with Rookery.

Here's the thing, folks.

I'd already solo'd the SSA on the character I was playing, an SR/MA tanker. I wanted to run with a team because I enjoy tanking, the character softcaps himself at level 18, and teams are usually a blast.

Now, the problems began when we were facing the Pumicite swarms every 30 seconds. I was target-swapping so I could keep as many on me as possible. I told the team to find the rock piles while I held the groups so we could kill them without getting swamped. The team leader said we were going to take them all on, so I said "Sure, let's do it." The Ice corruptor immediately replied with "this tanker is ******* annoying the **** out of me" "mt". Yeah, alright, you have your little tantrum.

About 2 minutes after that the team was swamped by Pumicites and all but 3 of us were dead: myself, a Kat/Inv(?) Brute, and another SR user. The leader snarkily says "WTB something that can tank" and I pointed out to him that I was wayyy over the aggro cap. After about another 10 minutes of chomping down blues and punching things, everyone hosped and we waited.

We moved into the final room and a Pumicite lieutenant got stuck in the wall geometry, and I noted that I'd make a "rock and a hard place" joke if it wasn't so fitting. The team leader responded with "Oh yeah, you'd make that joke and it wouldn't be funny, like jokes are supposed to be." So I told the guy to loosen the hell up and quit the arc. I think Mr. Ice Corr was the team leader's friend and was encouraging the guy to be a total dick.

3 out of the remaining 7 on the team whispered me and told me they had no idea what the heck was in the leader's backside and apologized for him and the Ice corr.

I mean, seriously? You ***** at me for not holding aggro when you asked to take on about 9 ambushes? Learn game mechanics and don't be an idiot.

For the record I was having an absolute blast; I love that Tanker and how sturdy he is as a character and I love to take on the proverbial world. The team seemed just fine until the leader and his little buddy decided to mouth off and bite off more than they (not me, mind you) could chew.

Both players have been 1-starred in my notes and I've let my global buddies know about them.

ahahahahahahaha

Hey! I'm so glad you brought this on to the forums and decided to completely ignore your roll in the situation.

You started of the mission by joining the team and making demands. Anyone want to talk about rude? Let's talk about the way that you behaved. Generally speaking I don't boss other people around when I'm not the leader.

It was the leader's desire to fight through (as we had done in the SSA run previous to you joining us. Primarily the same team makeup. YOU were the glaring change in the lineup). We fought on the same difficulty and intended to employ the same tactic. It worked well without a tank, it should work even better with a tank, right? Wrong.

You claim to have been swapping targets and trying to maintain aggro, which would've been awesome if you had actually been doing any of this. You were hitting 1, maybe 2 targets at a time. Aggro cap doesn't mean you're simply standing in the middle of a large group of enemies. It means you are actually maintaining the aggro.

As for saying "sure! let's do it!" after the team leader said we were going to fight through, hahahahahah. ha. ha. He said we were going to fight through, at which point you said 'seriously, go find the piles'. If I remember correctly (and I can consult the chatlogs if you wish) you stated 3 seperate times to run off and find the piles. It was clearly stated that this was a steamroll run. You must've been pretty serious because you even went out of character for that one. That was when I grew irritated.
