You get into a group for an instance, and somewhere between right away and after getting started, a like-level hunter pipes up and the following conversation ensues:
Hunter: Can you promote me to leader?
Leader: Why?
Hunter: So I can mark targets.
Next thing you know, he has been promoted, and another player drops out of the group, saying “This is bull****.”
Do you drop and look for another group, or see what happens with this new leader. He may or may not be a gold-farmer, or a raid ninja. It’s your call.
I’m more inclined to see how things pan out.
But I have seen this before in instance runs .. where the old leader and the new leader are actually working together .. using the group just to get to a boss for a particular drop.
if “thier” item doesn’t drop, they leave the instance .. leaving the group half full with the rest of the instance to go.
UGH ..
Been there, done that, got burned. If dude wants to be leader, form his own damn group.
Part of the reason I don’t do PUG’s. If I’m grouped with guildies and we fill out a group with LFG people I always set master looter and I NEVER promote someone I don’t know to leader.
Whiffle,
That’s what I have experienced, however I am very hesitant to dump a run because of something like that…guild image and all.
I have a tendancy to stick out the worst PuGs, much to my loss of XP and my gain in repair bills.
Christine,
I sooooo feel that way too. Put up your own LFM and let them come to you.
s4dfish,
That will definitely keep loot where it is supposed to be and keep the group running along.
@Gitr
I’ve just had enough bad groups that I don’t see it as worth my time to spend two hours with strangers only to get frustrated due to some break of loot rules. Have a hard enough time with new guild members…
