What’s going on with the people? Was doing some quests in Feralas, killing ogres at level41. The quest was hard enough to find some other folks to quest together, so I mostly did it alone. And when someone else DID finally appear, he joined my group only to aggro everything, die and leave the group after that, continuing his lonely adventure.
Worse, I saw several groups passing around. They don’t help when they see you attacked by many mobs. Or worse. They just sit around and … just stare and watch you. At least a buff would be welcome.
And most surprisingly, this happens on Hydraxian Waterlords RP server (Alliance), where people are supposed to be friendly and active, no lone wolves.
I am quite disappointed. Where’s the Classic community I was promised?
In their guilds, clearing BWL in 30 min, stockpiling mats for instant war effort, helping each other level warlock alts to summon everyone to world buff locations and maybe making a twink to dominate lower bracket BGs with. Surely not interacting with a late-comer questing in feralas.
P.S.: You are part of the Classic community, you are making it suck.
But they aren’t self-centered in the least, they are willing to give away hours at a time to help out their guildies, or even their realm in general to open the gates faster. Why many of them even farm the mats for the weaker faction to help them out via neutral AH.
They just aren’t helping your sorry, entitled butt out, because you do not deserve it.
What you call help isn’t actually help. They’re doing it, because they expect something in return. Like faster raid grp run. A true help is always unconditional. Why should morally superior people like me explain simple things to you?
What makes you wonder? I always helped people around me if they’re overrun by mobs, even if it’s a simple soulstone. Without expecting anything from return. Thus I am morally superior than those of you who don’t engage.
There is only the process. Numbers, parses, logs. Purple is just a color and the world is filled with people who’ve never harboured an abstract thought. Sociopaths borne from a society favoring the self and the perfect individual.
It’s not about being “self-centered”. It’s just that - at least to me - my guild is my community. I’ve often helped my guildmates, even their alts - even social non-raiding players - without expecting anything in return (at least in the pure gameplay terms you’re assuming).
I just see little reason to extend this benevolence of mine to complete strangers, much like I wouldn’t do IRL. Ofc this doesn’t mean that I won’t stop to help a person, or buff them or w/e, if it costs me nothing (many times, for example, I’ve crafted loads of water for lowbies near me at the Zeppelin docks without them even asking for it). But if you expect me to actually make a concrete sacrifice for a person I’ll likely never see again, get bent.
