Warning signs of a bad group

[Daimyon]

We've all been in groups that fail. Sometimes they've failed before they even begin. Of course there are clues and signs to when a group is going to fail pretty badly, some more obvious than others. What are your favorite signs to look for.

A few of mine...
-Frost DK Dual-Wielding tank weapons
-Healer in PVP gear

Any kind of real-life talk in party chat.

Example: "hi guys, where u from?"

[rillak]

When they're under 6k GearScore of course.

No, but seriously:

-Keyboardturners
-Whiners
-Douchebags

Etc.

I agree with this.
99.9% of the people that start the instance with saying that is just bad to the core..

[Razzo]

No, but seriously:

-Keyboardturners
-Whiners
-Douchebags

Etc.

Why is it that poeple think that keyboardturners are bad for a group? They might not be as leet as many but they get the job done just about as good.

When you stop to review a boss that'll typically give pugs trouble and somebody chimes in and says LOLJUSTPULL THIS IS EZ

I find this unbearable as well.
People who join in and proceed to act as though everyone else needs to abide by their schedule, and that everyone should be like them. Whining about time, pulling ahead of tanks, starting encounters without being told, general impatience is something that bugs me a lot. Better to be done right than done fast. If people die because they weren't ready when some random guy pulls, who's wasting time now? When you join a pug, you're on the leader's schedule, stop acting like you're the most important person in the group. People that do this are rarely as good as they seem to think. Bad attitude doesn't speak well about their playing abilities.

Raid leader speaking in caps lock always makes me think it might be time to leave.

Second I load the instance:
MIGHT ME STOP BEING LAZY

I like it when someone is trying to start a conversation.

The signs for me are: no talking (not even saying hi) , the usual "just nuke" qoute at a boss where it it not just nuke and if the player cannot read/write english.

even worse... DW frost DKs using 2 FAST tank weapons/DW dks tanking in general. /kick asap

[SkaSløyeDæ]

people with 5k+ gs that can barely break 2 or 3 k dps. happened to me last night where a dk had over 5k and was around 1500 dps as blood. I have no idea what the fuck this guy was doin. and when we did the last boss he ninjaed some tank loot as well. I guess he thought he needed it all since it was purple. damn, I really hate morons. blizz should take their gear away from them and never allow them more than blues.

[Hellevad]

Anyone going "Go go go go goooo!!!" right off the bat - often before the entire group has even had time to zone in...
Yeah... That's a bad sign.

[Shelly]

When the dungeon guide/tank = Shelly from Antonidas.

haha, if you are not a hardcore douche that does not care about anything but himself you FAIL!

that's like... so true BS.... :/

[Lucifra]

people in ilvl >200 doing less dps than I do.

People telling me to "gogo"

That's a note to everyone, don't tell tanks to "gogo" it's damn annoying, do you hear us saying "OMG HEAL" everytime we get hit?

This monday someone even said "gogo" at faction champions before I was even finished marking, let alone explaining them.

[Zka]

People with retarded names (Ärthass and Gimliii and stuff like that)
People with no enchants and gems
People being afk right off the bat
DPS whining for mana breaks
Healer without water
Healer in pvp gear and spec
Retardin asks for BoM from my prot pala
DK asks for BoM when he has battle shout
Lock asks form BoW instead of BoK
Some 2K dps pasting damagemeter every minute
Tank asks if we want a quick run and then he fails to hold aggro on anything
DPS queued as tank
Sub 1K dps
Sub 3K dps in full epics

[Soulbender]

Thats just impossible. My DK has 5k GS and I pull 4-5k on heroics. Hell on the level 80 dummy I can do 2k DPS totally naked with just my weapon and sigil.

it's not uncommon to have dps who just go afk, or press "1" every two seconds.
Thus the <2k.

But indeed, doing less than 2k (3 with gear) is telling everybody you suck bad.

[Gelantious]

Any kind of real-life talk in party chat.

Example: "hi guys, where u from?"

"Oh lord, they are trying to be social & friendly in a multiplayer game! Those bastards!"

Seriously, if your that socially damaged then you probably shouldn't be playing a mmo game to begin with.
It's the people that don't know how to give a proper greeting or formulate more then 5 words during the entire run that I avoid. Leet speak aswell is frowned upon.

Not being able to spell correctly or use proper grammar because English isn't your first language is another deal though, atleast they are trying.

Oh it is Possible belive me....
