This game is awesome. Not since SWG have I enjoyed playing an MMO this much, but there's one thing that is really killing it for me. I came here because this was supposed to be a return to MMO roots, where you earned your gear by actually contributing to group/raid success not being carried thru everything. I thought I would find like minded players who wanted the same. Players who would spend 5 minutes watching videos or reading strats before attempting vet content. People who would actually do a little bit of research on what the encounter might entail before wasting people's time.
 
While the community has been nothing but friendly, it lacks players that actually attempt to learn game mechanics on their own. My 5 man group leveled together and started running vet content together. We wiped so many times on Vet ST and KV that I literally dreamed about that crap at night. But we were having fun. Now we branch out to try and bring others into the fold so they too can enjoy everything that the game has to offer. But what do we find, out of a guild of almost 300 people maybe 7 or 8 of us actually attempt vet content. The rest want to be pulled along without understanding their class, encounter mechanics, or basic 'don't stand in the frigging red' concepts. It has seriously made me want to quit the game.
 
So I'm wondering, is anyone else having this issue of players dragging their feet on vet content? Did I just get unlucky in the guild department? I love the guys in my guild, they're all really nice people (most of them just can't play for shit and have no desire to get better on their own). I'm really tired of tanking vet ST now because I have seen every piece of gear there and taught it to 20+ players who refuse to run it on their own. It's the most frustrated I've ever been in a game and it only makes it worse because I love this so much. But the thought of dragging enough players thru attunement to run 40 mans......I'd rather shove q-tips up my pee hole then go thru that crap.....
 
 
And don't even get me started on PUGs........

Damn man.....the lottery comment almost made me cry...lol.
 
On a side note, do you think that it's asking to much now for people to be competent in their gaming? Should I just accept it and go back to something like WoW and the abomination of humanity that is the LFR system? (shudder)
 
I've just never seen it this bad before in an MMO and I've been playing em since Asheron's Call in '99.

			Play on Evindra unless you like pvp. Pergo has nice people, but I've encountered a disturbing number of jerks on both sides.

			Since this isn't really constructive, I'm going to go ahead and close it.
