People in your PUG This is a list of all the ( bad , incompetent , undesirable , etc . ) people that you may find in your PUG . The PUG . Some players are in a large , well - organized guild that will power level them right up to end game content , and they play with the same 10 - 25 people for their entire career . Most players , however , have to do the vast majority of their outdoor group quests , 5 - man instances and sometimes even raids , with a collection of complete strangers . While trolling the LFG tool , these are the people who turn up : The Disgruntled Raider . He ' s used to a well - organized raid where everyone knows their responsibilities and works together . Now he ' s being asked to adjust his playing style and can ' t believe what noobs you all are . Is geared to the point that he could probably solo the instance , or at least thinks he is . Hates pugs . The Terrible Tank . Chances are he ' s never tanked before and isn ' t geared or specced . He told you this when you whispered him , but you have been spending the past 40 minutes whispering random players who * could * be tanks so you invited him in . He ' s horrible . His tank gear is mostly greens and random quest rewards that he happened to have lying around . Can ' t hold aggro and can ' t take hits . You stick with him anyway because you ask yourself where are you going to find another tank ? The Guy in a Hurry . Come on , hurry up , he doesn ' t have much time ! This guy usually does The Nexus in 15 minutes , or at least claims to . Can ' t believe you ' re wasting his time and taking so long . If your group spends too much time drinking , healing , or buffing he will help you along by pulling for you . He ' s going to leave the first time this causes a wipe . Has never played a healer or tank and does not intend to start now . Captain Obvious . Knows every spell cast by every mob in every instance and feels obligated to share this information . . . every pull . He ' s great when trying to remember which mob casts fear but less so when starting his dissertation on how that mob with the axe is going to hit the tank , so that tank will have to be healed . The only known way to shut him up is to pull . The PvP all - star . He might have some arena gear , but suspiciously , most of his gear seems to be from battleground tokens . Probably has as much health as the tank , but unfortunately also the same dps output . If you ' re lucky , he ' ll remember that fearing isn ' t as great in a crowded instance as it is in Alterac Valley . The PvP tank . Likely a feral druid or deathknight . The main tank just died , and in a split second he ' s in bear form or frost presence , blowing cooldowns so he doesn ' t die before the healer realizes that he ' s now tanking . Doesn ' t have quite the right spec or gear to tank , but he has enough resil to be uncrittable in PvE . Even if he dies and the group wipes , they ' ll congratulate him on his efforts . Healers will have a hard time keeping him alive because of lack of avoidance and the right spec , but his PvP gear gives him enough health to survive most 5 - mans . If you have the terrible tank as your MT , hope that one of these guys is waiting in the shadows of the group , because very likely he ' s going to save your ass . More common on PvP servers than PvE ones . Uncommon , but you are likely to run in to a few in your PUG career . Mr . Wait ! There ' s no time like when you ' re running an instance to start a laundry , microwave some food , call your mom , or walk your dog . . . especially when you ' re a tank / healer . This guy constantly needs you to wait , and chances are good he won ' t be ready when you pull anyway . Always seems to be around when you roll on loot . The mortal enemy of The Guy in a Hurry . Probably related to The Guy in a Hurry . The Vanisher . A close relative of Mr . Wait , except that this person NEVER says anything about going AFK . You will be merrily killing trash in The Nexus on the way to the next boss when a glance at your minimap reveals an arrow pointing back to where this person is standing with his finger up his ass . Like Mr . Wait , always seems to catch up to the party just in time to loot the boss . Could be an inconsiderate version of Mr . Wait , be a lazy ninja , or just have a bad connection . If the last , may disconnect and reconnect until either he is kicked or he gets his issues resolved . The Wonder Twins . Two or more people from the same guild who start or join a pug . They support each other pretty well , but you know they ' re talking about you in guild chat . If one of them needs something , they both roll need on it to increase the chance of success . The Beggar . He ' s flat - out broke . The first bad sign was when he had to borrow money to repair . . . before the run even started . If he ' s a hunter , he ' s down to his last stack of arrows . If he ' s a caster , he ' s out of reagents . If you lend him some gold , he can port back and take care of it . Oh , and he ' ll need a summon . Oh yeah , and does anyone have any buff food ? Player who ' s never run an instance before . At least he ' s enthusiastic . He ' s the warlock who soulstones himself and summons a voidwalker . He ' s not really sure how or why a skull keeps appearing over some mobs , but won ' t waste your time by asking about it . Doesn ' t have a threat meter , but probably couldn ' t pull aggro anyway . If you ask him to CC , he will happily cast sheep . . . then stand there , watching the sheep , until he has to recast . Will apologize profusely any time somebody complains . Mostly innocent . If you add him / her to your friends list and run a few more times with them , you may actually make a decent player out of them . Non - native English speaker . Doesn ' t speak much . When he does , it ' s in broken , poorly spelled English . On the other hand , this describes a great many other lolwut ' ers in chat as well . These guys come in two flavors : people who will play their role / s well , and wipe - tards . Non - native English PUG Leader . Usually the same as the non - native English speaker , except they lead the pug . Expect them to rarely , if ever , listen to a thing anyone says , give loot to the wrong people , and act like he got a full - frontal lobotomy . Guy who wants to use Vent . Their guild has a Ventrilo server , with a room called " 5man _ PUG " or similar . Even though only 2 - 3 people in the group can join , he communicates all pertinent and relevant information over Voice . The Annoying Asshat . This guy is the scourge of any pug . He knows how to play , and probably has a level 80 of every class , but he has the habit of telling people what to do — and not in a nice way . Most of the groups he joins break before they reach the first boss due to his constant flaming . Usually plays a Warlock , Warrior or Priest . The Random CC ' er . CC ' s random mobs as they ' re being pulled . Did we ask for CC ? Is something marked ? No , but they sheep / sap / freeze it anyway . Often innocent , though there is a strong possibility that they are an Annoying Asshat ( see above ) at the same time . The one time you DO ask for crowd control will invariably be the time the mob resists , possibly resulting in a wipe , and possibly resulting in raised blood - pressure . Mr . Meter Envy . Maybe he ' s > ahem < " compensating " for something . Anyway , his only purpose in joining groups is to show how much better he is than everyone else . And by " better " , he means higher on the DPS meter . If they are the one with the meter , count on it being posted after every boss , or every tricky pull . If he ' s a mage , he ' ll pull a group with a trinked - up Pyroblast as soon as the tank ' s marked a skull , then AoE . If he ' s a warrior , he ' ll intercept ( usually before the tank has a chance to hit ) , whirlwind , and probably start cleaving for good measure . Even if he sucks , he didn ' t clear his DPS meter before the run started so he ' ll be ahead anyway . Will whine horribly if you ask him to CC . Refuses to pick up adds in Black Morass . If he dies , he ' ll blame the tank or healer . If he dies twice , he leaves ( after posting his dps meter just to show you how unworthy you were to have him anyway ) . The GearScore God . While more commonly found in raids , can still make the occasional appearance in 5 - mans . Doesn ' t wipe his ass without consulting GearScore to ensure his toilet paper is leet enough to do the job . Will initiate kick votes based solely on what he thinks to be the minimum GearScore necessary to do an instance without giving the character in question a chance to prove otherwise . Can sometimes be found in Trade chat making ludicrous minimum GearScore demands for pugs he is filling such as " LFM 10 ICC 6K GS minimum ! " when anyone that well equipped will almost certainly not need any gear from the instance in question ( meaning he ' s either getting gear for himself or his friends , or he ' s also a Master of Tank ' N Spank ) . Related to Mr . Meter Envy , and quite often is the same person . Will also blame whatever role ( s ) he is not performing for wipes and will likely leave right after one . Often uses high - end but inappropriate gear to get his own GearScore up . The Hesitant Tank . So many tanks these days play like their house is on fire , so this guy really stands out . Maybe he ' s taking the time to mark targets or talk strategy , or maybe he ' s just standing around , not pulling . You wonder whether he queued as a tank by accident , if he thinks he ' s DPS . If you back up to avoid pulling a patrol , he ' ll back up with you . Found at all levels , but suspiciously often with level 60 Death Knights . Chances are , constant DPS pulling and flames will cause this guy to flip out and become a total asshole . The Master of Tank ' N Spank . Believes that fight mechanics no longer matter in heroic 5 - mans when wearing T10 gear , even the ICC ones . Will quickly attribute all wipes to a lack of DPS and wonder why the group cannot burn Scourgelord Tyrannus down in 20 seconds while he stands in one place and does not kite him . Will sometimes do the same thing for raids and can be distinguished as such by showing characteristics of being a GearScore God ( see above ) . Needless to say , almost always a tank . Will hurl a few choice insults before either doing a vote - to - kick on the offending party ( if he has other guildies with him ) or will leave after a wipe or two . Fraternal twin of the Annoying Asshat . The WTF ? You have no clue what this guy is doing , but it ' s obvious he ' s doing it wrong . He ' s the rogue with only one weapon . He ' s the hunter without a pet . He ' s the tank in cloth or , god forbid , naked . He ' s not a ninja , though he will occasionally need something he doesn ' t need . You think he ' s a noob until you realize they know the instance and all the bosses . There ' s no explanation for what they ' re doing other than " WTF ? " The Death Knoob . The scourge of the group ( no pun intended ) , even worse than that resto Druid with 20 points in feral . Probably abandoned his main at level 55 to play a DK . With poorly used death grips and uncontrolled minions , they provide nothing positive to the group , only more wipes than an unopened Kleenex box . They think death knights benefit from caster stats , making them the mortal enemies of paladins and shaman . Only way to solve it - kick him or leave the group . Though , with that group . . . they ' ll probably get the Huntard using healing cloth tanking or the DK who thinks he can heal put to the test . What ' s next ? A fury warrior tanking ? Don ' t answer that actually . . . If you ' ve PUG ' d a group for an Outland dungeon , they may still actually be decent , if only because they put out way more DPS than any other class at the same level and gear ( * cough , cough * [ OP ] * cough * ) . Unfortunately , they will learn the hard way that button mashing does not work so well in Northrend dungeons , causing them a great deal of confusion and giving you a bad headache . Often they can be found trying to tank with a Frost Spec after reading an outdated Death Knight guide . The laggy DPS . Generally the tanking Huntard ' s excuse for the DPS of a level 20 , however this also counts for that resto / feral healer for speccing like that . . . will usually disconnect as soon as they ' ve been assigned another role in the group , i . e . Off Tanking , Off Healing , Crowd Controlling , etc . Oddly enough the internet will probably pick back up as soon as loot drops . The Guy Who Plays Too Much . " LOL , your ap is only 4 . 5k " Generally a hunter who believes in the Hunter loot tradition : he ninjas anything in Naxx that looked attractive , so he probably has full epics . Believes he is better than you , and WILL mock you . It ' s best to use Master looter so he doesn ' t get anything , so if you ' re a Hunter , ITS YOURS ! ! ! The " Newly " Leveled Ninja . This guy has full epics without telling you , putting on half decent made gear . He just wants the cash from it . Tell everyone to need it if he needs . Kick if he persists . The Guy With Stupid Gear . You slap yourself with this guy . His DPS sucks beyond belief and will always use bad gems ( maybe not even use gems at all ) . Either new to 80 or some idiot . That necklace that drops less than 3 % of the time and just now dropped and would help the tank out A LOT cannot be had because Mr . Clothie wants it because . . . well , no one knows . Enemy of Ninja and generally is a mage . After about three wipes due to this guy , you find yourself WISHING for the good - old - days of clothadins . The Talkative Nut . This person will distract you like hell , either with all the talking or making you drool at how hot you think she is with all her sex talk . 99 % of their jokes are not funny . They cause too many wipes but mean well . Tell them nicely to stfu and they will . They generally have high repairs and generally a blood elf . The eBay Player . This guy is level cap with full epics , but doesn ' t have a damn clue what he ' s doing . Will often ask questions that anybody who ' s played the game for a couple of weeks would know , such as , " What does WTB stand for ? " , or , " What ' s a DPS ? " If you wanna have some fun , ask him what spec he is , and see just how much he knows about talents . Will roll need on everything - never mind the fact that mages can ' t use plate , let alone that what he ' s got is 10 times better than what he ' s rolling on . He means well , mind you ; he was just too lazy to actually level his toon and learn the game . Still manages to put out decent DPS , if only because he ' s in full T10 . See also Player who ' s Never Run an Instance Before . The Extreme Roleplayer . Normally , there is nothing wrong with roleplayers . However , some people may get annoyed at that one guy who , in the middle of a boss fight , leaves his character on auto - attack just so he can write a long monologue on how much he hates that boss because it killed his mother , father , and little baby elekk . This guy ' s speeches are worse than Tirion Fordring ' s ICC intro . Most likely knows at least 90 % of all Warcraft lore , and gets annoyed at those who apparently are unaware ( or just don ' t care ) that Illidan caused the death of your father ' s half - brother ' s girlfriend ' s cousin Naisha while the very same Illidan is gleefully annihilating the poor dysfunctional pug . Commonly a draenei or a Forsaken . Is NEVER a gnome or troll . Guy who doesn ' t help summon . This guy trolls around the LFG channel , and he ' ll join any group . At which time , he keeps doing whatever he was doing before . He could be questing in the same zone as the stone , heck he could be right on top of it . But one thing ' s for sure , he isn ' t about to stop for something as silly as helping the group get started . This won ' t stop him from asking for a summon every 20 seconds . Even if he ' s in a Violet Hold group . The Silly Joker . After your first instance with this guy you ' ll either have him in your friends list or in your KOS list . Usually plays as a troll or a dwarf , he knows every emote on the game and will use them all the time . He will / moon the boss and throw Empty Brew Bottle at the mobs . He will call Arugal a pimp because he has many Sons of Arugal and will hit on Princess Theradras . Usually he is harmless , as long as he doesn ' t go on auto attack to make sexist jokes about Grim Guzzler . The Lucky Bastard . He ' s obviously never been in this dungeon before ; he doesn ' t know any of the fights and can ' t find his way . He ' s putting out about 50 % of the tank ' s damage , partly because he ' s tragically undergeared and partly because he ' s always the last one to start combat . Heck , you might even see the Dungeon & Raid Emblem achievement on the first boss . But if there ' s a rare drop in the dungeon , such as Reins of the Blue Proto - Drake or Battered Hilt , he wins the roll by about 50 . You try to stay classy and congratulate him , but the whole time you ' re gritting your teeth and wishing you could strangle him in real life . Absolute mortal enemy of . . . The Zookeeper . If a mount or pet drops in the dungeon , he wants it . Back in Burning Crusade , this was the guy who always ran Magister ' s Terrace and tried to reserve the Phoenix Hatchling . Generally one of the more superstitious gamers you ' ll find , he ' s convinced that Skadi the Ruthless will drop the drake every time if only one player dies to breath damage and you tap out " Give me a dragon " in morse code using harpoons . His understanding of probability is shakier than his knowledge of game mechanics and he KNOWS that " his " mount or pet is guaranteed to drop this time , that is , unless YOU screw it up . So far , nobody has had the heart to tell him about Dealer Rashaad or the pet store in Dalaran . The Undergeared Dude . This dude is still in his quest greens and heroic blues . Commonly a death knight , hunter , or rogue . If alliance , it ' s a gnome , night elf , or draenei . If horde , almost undoubtedly a blood elf or perhaps a Forsaken . See Donkey Kong . The Humble God . When the group starts he doesn ' t really stand out . He plays a hybrid class like pally , druid , or shaman . He ' s quiet , and besides the initial " hello " or occasional " gratz " , he doesn ' t say anything . He ' s not the top of the dps meter , but he ' s not pulling aggro so it doesn ' t matter . Then someone messes up . The tank dies , then the healer , then a dps . The other dps hearths . Yet this guy refuses to be defeated . He heals , cc ' s , dps ' s and tanks until the mobs are dead , often blowing his cooldowns and exhausting his potions and bandages . He ' s on the verge of death and oom . But he ' s alive . He drinks if he can then rezzes the group as the other dps finally runs back . When you try to thank him , he / bows and says " Don ' t mention it . " You wish you get him in your next PUG , but you never see him again , leaving you to wonder if he ever existed or if it was all a dream . The Warlick . This guy will use life tap , die , and ask why he wasn ' t healed . This guy will stand next to Jaraxxus , use hellfire , die , and ask why he wasn ' t healed . Brings his voidwalker into the raid . Often uses Life Funnel to heal his pet mid - boss encounter . Often the Undergeared Dude . Almost always a gnome . You will find yourself wondering why the hell he did not just go with Dark Pact in the first place . . . The Epic Geared Elitist . This guy ' s in gear that looks like it drops off Sargeras . Gear score is his best friend . . . and even if the item is an upgrade , if it takes him below 5000 gear score , he doesn ' t equip it . His homepage is wow - heroes . com . He ' s got an attitude to go with it . Often a paladin tank . The PvP geared guy . This guy got in because the leader is dumb enough to look at his 5500 gear score without actually looking at his gear and calling him " awesome . " His gear is the best gladiator ' s gear with resilience and stamina enchants / gems . He is almost always a dps , and often a melee dps . The Silent Killer . This guy manages to top the DPS charts and it doesn ' t even seem like he ' s trying . He rarely ( if ever ) speaks , and at most it ' s just a greeting and a farewell at the start and end of the instance . He seems to be wearing kick ass gear , and you suspect the only reason he ' s slaughtering everyone on the DPS chart is because of his gear , until you notice that he ' s never once pulled aggro and the Tank is drastically undergeared compared to him . Mortal enemy of Mr . Meter Envy because despite Mr . Meter Envy ' s failure to reset his Recount after doing daily quests and a few other randoms beforehand , this guy still managed to beat him out . Chances are you met this guy through the LFG tool , and he ' s some rare spec like a raiding Elemental Shaman and you REALLY want his for your Raid , unfortunately he ' s on a separate server . The Leeroy Jenkins . This guy is usually mistaken for a silent killer or a magic tank until you ' re usually at the boss . Then they / y LEEEEEEROY JENKINS ! and charge the boss and attempt to pull additional mobs . This almost always leads to a wipe but is usually a one time thing , unlike the Pull Maniac . Most of the time they ' re trying to be funny , so just tell them they ' re 6 years too late . The Pull Maniac . Almost always a hunter . This person is more frequently found in lower level dungeons . You have never seen this person lift a finger to attack a mob that ' s already on you . Instead , they are scouring the instance for a mob to pull . Their reaction to any situation is pull more mobs . The Healer ' s out of mana ! Pull more mobs . The Tank is dead ! Pull more mobs . The thing they fear the most is a moment without mobs . Oh , and they WILL ninja whatever drops . The tank is about to commit suicide . The healer ' s mana is in the negatives . The other Dpses are angry that they keep dying . Strangely , the Pull Maniac never suffers as a result . Why hasn ' t he been vote kicked ? Because you can ' t votekick someone during combat ! At the end of the instance , the group ' s gear is all red , the tank is pissed , the healer is ashamed , the Dpses are sulking , and the Pull Maniac has gotten away with all your phat lewtz . Good times . The Magic Tank . This is the tank version of The Silent Killer , sadly , he ' s not always in your group . Did The Pull Maniac just pull the entire instance ? The Magic Tank has it sorted out . Accidental pull ? No problem . His eyes miss nothing . Are you trying to ninja loot ? He ' ll roll Need , and win , just to spite you , then break his vow of silence and announce that he is giving the item to the person you tried to ninja from . If you ' re a total asshat , obvious Ninja Looter or other jerk , and this guy ' s on your server , watch out . He has connections . While he won ' t say anything in the party , he ' ll make sure that you NEVER get into a good guild on your server . If the DPS sucks , or are drastically less geared than he is , he might top the Damage Charts . Mortal enemy of The Pull Maniac , ninja looters and other jerks . The One - Hit Failure . The dude ' s incredible . At first glance , you may mistake them for the Silent Killer or the Magic Tank . They either top the dps charts , keep aggro against infallible odds , or never let anyone drop below 50 % . You worship them . However , as the pug goes on , they will do something so outlandishly stupid that you wonder if they ' re even the same person . Be it putting up path of frost while falling down the Passage of Lost Fiends in Azjol - Nerub , standing at the bottom of the pyramid in Zul ' Farrak , or going Pull Maniac , this person finds a way to wipe your group . They will apologize profusely , and will not make the same mistake again . A good addition to your group , but be ready for his oncoming failure . Can make any elitist jerk rage , or in severe cases , may leave the party ( which really isn ' t a bad thing actually ) . Any laid back member of the pug will be laughing his ass off at what happened . The Zerg Puller . Runs through trash like police are at the door and he has to hide the miniature horse dressed in studded black leather in the back bedroom . No icons , no warning , and often with himself at 30 % and healer out of mana and he ' s pulling the next 3 trash mob packs . Only time a break happens is for loot after a boss . Either knows how much he can handle or always bites off way more than he can chew . Always has to stop to remind the DPS to wait until the trash is all gathered up before attacking or loses mobs to healing aggro . See also guy in a hurry , terrible tank , the pull maniac , and the annoying asshat . Mortal enemy of Mr . Wait ! The Annoying Tank . Normally a warrior , this person always has a DPS meter and uses it liberally . Constantly talking about how he is out - DPSing everyone and will either be kicked or leave before the end of the instance . He whines incessantly yet never actually helps , not to be confused with the helpful person . The Helpful Person . The helpful person can play any class and usually has a DPS meter . Similar to the annoying tank , but instead of complaining , he actually attempts to help the group . The Reverse Ninja . If " World of Warcraft " were the medieval ages and players the inhabitants , then reverse ninjas would be the fanatical inquisitors running around looking for witches - the ninja s . Having been traumatized from several incidents where actual ninjas have stolen their loot , reverse ninjas are players that have become so paranoid they automatically presume " all " other players to be hardcore ninjas . In PuG ' s they usually command everyone to always greed on whatever drops , common loot or boss - loot , regardless of whether someone needs something or not . If a player " does " need on an item , the reverse ninja will unleash a reprimand from hell upon him / her , swiftly followed by a instigated vote to kick the player from the group . Reverse ninjas share the common belief with most players that ninjas should be punished and avoided , but they do not realize that their acts to prevent ninjas deprive players from loot the players deserve . Ironically , this causes reverse ninjas to become ninjas themselves . The Group That ' s Out To Get You . If you ' re a Hunter , this probably happens to you often . The tank is a Terrible Tank , the healer is The Annoying Asshat , one of the other dpses is a Pull Maniac , another is The Epic Geared Elitist / Reverse Ninja ( either one may be present ) , and then there ' s you . The thing that makes this collection of morons and losers different is the fact that they all . Hate . YOU . Did the tank lose aggro and wipe the group ? You ' re pulling too much aggro . Did the Pull Maniac just pull half the instance ? You should stop pulling , you moron ! Did a piece of gear you really want drop ? You ninja , you stole it ! No matter what happens , it ' s all your fault . The only reason you haven ' t been votekicked is because the Pull Maniac is constantly wading through mobs , which is also your fault . Often , the healer announces that you aren ' t getting any heals , the tank says he won ' t pull aggro off of you , and in extreme cases they threaten to report you for your griefing . It ' s mostly ignored that you ' re wtfpwning all the dps meters . Whenever you feel yourself being sucked into one of these , leave the group . As stated previously , this happens to hunters a lot . After the run is over , chances are good that they log on to wowwiki and add a passive - aggressive category to this article like " The aggro - happy huntard " . The Coward . As soon as the tank or healer drops ( or hit 25 % health ) , he ' s gone , even if your pug has three paladins . He ' s running for the entrance at the first hint of a wipe , no matter how far it is . Will defend his actions by saying he can ' t afford repair bills or is trying to save money for fast flying . Will , on occasion , kite a boss through the entire instance because he was # 2 on the aggro list and the tank just died . Refuses to believe that a fight can be won after someone in the group dies . The " Go " Guy . This guy will almost always be a DPSer , he seems to have sworn vengeance upon all tanks , he will only use AoE even on single targets and will constantly use taunts and break CC . If the group stops for more than one second he will type " go " . He will use this as a response to absolutely anything you ask in the party chat . After several " go " s he will then start carelessly pulling mobs on his own and often wipe the group . He will not move from the fire unless it ' s to pull more mobs during combat and will blame every single thing that is wrong with his life on the tank . Usually they do not speak any English apart from " noob " " tank " " go " and " u suck " , but WILL moan about the tank in another language if they know one . Similar to " The Pull Maniac " but tend to be found more often at higher levels and follow a very specific pattern . Bonus points if " The " Go " guy " is a Balance Druid . The Sneak . Almost exclusively found in the absolute lowest level dungeons ( where his shenanigans will actually work ) this is a Rogue ( or possibly a Feral Druid ) who is completely kitted out in twink and / or Heirloom gear . At the start of the instance , he books it forward and stealths just before entering the first mob ' s aggro radius . Five minutes later you get the message that the dungeon is complete because he just went and soloed the end boss , even though the rest of you have only done a half dozen pulls . Will generally say something like , " oh , that was easy , " or , " you ' re welcome , " before leaving , though will sometimes stay to ninja the loot ( after all , he earned it , right ? ) . Often lauded by those who just want that one piece of loot from the boss , and hated by those who are running the instance for experience . The Inside - Joke Idiots . Two or more players from the same server who obviously know each other , because they do nothing but spam nonsensical gibberish that they each respond to . It ' s funny to them , and annoying to everyone else . Oftentimes , it is the healer , tank , or both , so one ' s options are to stay and take it , try to ignore it , or leave . Rude responses and outcries for golden silence are either met with an increase in spam , or a vote - kick of the complainant . Loot - ninjaing by these players is commonplace as well . The Timed - Run Saboteur . A player that either has no concept of what a timed run entails , or doesn ' t care to try because he already possesses the timed - run loot . He ' s the guy that ' s wandering into patrols , breaking CC ' s , skinning , taking his time getting mana , meandering behind the group , or going AFK . Though easily identified as the weak link , by that time it is already too late . The Two - Button Tank . He is a tank that believes his job is to only hit 2 types of buttons ; single target and AOE target . Using cooldowns to survive make no sense to him , because the healer is solely responsible for keeping him up so long as he maintains threat . He stands in the AOE because the healer should negate its effect . He makes no preparations for the boss ' big attack , because the healer should anticipate it . He sees no need to interrupt spell casts . He doesn ' t reposition the boss , regardless of fight mechanics or add - placement - that ' s the DPS ' job . Upon wipes he has the audacity to ask " What happened ? " The Spam MOD Collector . A player whose hobby appears to be collecting useless spamming MODS . Whatever the role or situation , he believes that a sudden , descriptive three - line sentence in chat for every button he presses is beneficial to the group . Before every boss fight , he will spam entire paragraphs of boss strategies . For tanks , he may have macroed one of several one - liners or catch phrases to his taunts . Oftentimes , successful interrupts are spammed as well , as if he is expecting a pat on the back for a job well done . Huntards are especially fond of these types of mods , because they believe that everyone enjoys reading about their pets ' emotes . " SillyKitty purrs softly and cuddles up against Huntard . " Fascinating . The Gearscore Phony . A player that equips or carries whatever items he can in order to meet the minimal gearscore requirements of certain dungeon queues . He joins the group in hopes that his role is not pivotal , and that the other players will not notice his weakness , or not care . He seeks to need roll on any equippable piece of gear , because there is a very good chance that it is an upgrade . Though it may not be obvious at first due to the gear of certain levels having similar looks , low DPS , extremely weak heals , or no survivability as a tank may reveal his scam . It is not uncommon for tank scammers to immediately ask another party member to tank instead , in hopes that his fast tank queue will pay off . The Rotting Corpse . A player that goes AFK whenever he dies , regardless of the rest of the group ' s status . Never accepts rezzes possibly because he ' s either nerd - raging somewhere in RL , or figured that he has a few minutes to make a sandwich . In the event of a total wipe , he ' s always the one player that doesn ' t run back , and expects a rez . Sometimes , he is still AFK while the group has returned , missed the rez , then starts spamming " rez plz . " Would have made an excellent target for the death knights ' corpse explosion ability before it was removed .
