Warcraft idiocy
Signed up for a random dungeon and was assigned to one already in progress. I came in just in time to be wiped. The party was wiped three more times in the next few minutes; they'd activated about 3 dozen elites who were effectively "camping" the entrance. The tank quit. The healer quit. I got stuck talking to two people who I'd rather not have been talking to; to give you an idea of the level of conversation, one of them thought it was funny to repeatedly sit on other character's faces, and the other kept making jokes about rape.
I stayed on a table (no face-sitting for me!) held my tongue and tried to act like an adult. They told me they'd had eight wipes before I came in to the group. We qeued up for a new dungeon.
After a long, long wait a new tank and healer showed up, and the new dungeon began. Someone started giving orders to everyone. Someone else started defying him. The new tank and healer quit. I bowed out as well; it was too goddamned late.
But not all groups are like that. Yesterday, I was in a great group. It wasn't so much that they were combat-effective; they were decent, but not outstanding in that regard. No, what made it a pleasure to play with them was that they were all relatively mature. When we finished the dungeon, we even took a group photo! Too bad I have no way of arranging to play with any of them ever again.
