Bleh. The only nerfs I don't find completely stupid are Bran speeding up during the escourt in HoS, and less waiting time in VH. The rest can go suck an egg.
I'm tired of this dumbing shit down so idiots can rush through everything - no skill required. I'm already encountering a lot of people in random groups wanting to skip bosses and cheat their way through everything, this is going to make it all the more annoying. The only reason I do randoms anymore is to get the frost emblems, and now they have to make everything even more of a faceroll.
I'm with you, Ebon. The more of these nerfs they hand out, the less fun it is for me to run randoms. They only seem to get more impatient and less considerate/polite over time. I'm seriously doing my best to always ask in IPAOOC and HordeOOC for people before I hit the random button. Folks on CC, especially within the RP crowd, are always so much more courteous (and sometimes even grateful to be brought along - not everyone is rocking 5pc T9 yet). We had Andelia and Benna along with us for H-UP the other day with a full CC group and it was the most pleasant dungeon I've run in a week.
I know it's quick and easy to hit the random as a healer, but seriously: ask in ipaooc and try to get folks together. It's a much more pleasurable experience (and maybe you already do this, I don't know, just my 2-copper).
Also, if you're looking for peeps you could ask anyone you see if you /who g-"Circle of the Dawn". That is a guild mostly comprised of RL friends of mine. They can be a little weird, but they're generally a good bunch of folks. Most of them hang out in HordeOOC, too.
Hehe. I also tanked on Ursan for Red, Elasha, and another Ishie (don't recall who). Our first random was H-DTK and we pulled a rude-as-shit huntard. Must have been some retarded, ritalin popping 6-year-old, because the only words out of his/her mouth the whole time was "gogogogo." I told her to knock that shit off and they proceeded to MD the first back to me, at which point all four of us dropped leaving the hunter alone. Elasha even cheared me for not putting up with that crap. Running with CCers, Ishies in particular, is so much better than random, mouth-breathing PuGers. I'd rather have an Ishie in all ilevel 174 gear than a 245 PuGer.
