lately its really a pain to find good games.
my baby rant ( i have to learn a lot to compete with james
)
the first really big task is to actually find enough players online and get the party full.
have spend most of the morning just to finds others and in the end went most of the path solo.
once i found a party ( it was full even after 15 mins of waiting ) there were of course the usual people
not willing to put any fg into their gear although they have the means. but ok tier I leeching ftw, the others will do the work for them ofc.
its perfectly fine when people dont have the gear as they cant afford it or just started,
but one should make this up with activity and willingness to learn at least.
1 of our players, of course the only healer mage, was afk 95% of the run.
so the healing was left to my poor hybrid monk with huge mana problems in the early levels.
then there was another guy fake afk. anytime we talked about him he would say " im back now"
just to have like 15 action at the end of the whole run.
on top of this he was going with a light tier I armor. we had a great tanker in the run, probably the only reason this run was still going.
but this guy wouldnt accept to go mid or back to keep the tanking to those who can tank and save my mana not to be burned on him all the time.
after endless negotiations he went mid, just to go front after the next mob again staying afk.
so i pushed glyph and comfrey after another to keep us in supply of full bars and finally the run was successful.
i would have expected one of these guys to leave short before the maze will be completed to ruin it for us finally, had this 3 times now in the past 2 days
anyway, the only reasons im still putting this on me are the catas with friends and guildies, otherwise i would very likely hide in the arena runs again

And I myself am at work for 4 day shifts in a row... 12 hour shifts....
Plus one hour to go and one hour to come back..
I tried to play a little while having coffee, between feeding the horses and showering..
No one was on my level..
Managed to join a 3 player game where I was doing the most melee damage on my..... mage
The others were a barb and a guardian...
I will suffer withdrawal syndrome pretty soon...
Just don't mind my spamming and craziness when I hit the bottom.. !!!
when you are back we will catch up the time with some extra creamy runs
going for some beauty sleep now, hard exams to come for this week and the next
