My Kodo and a story. (Complaint)
This is my kodo. Her name is Bob. She's awesome.
So just now I was trying to finish my last 3 quests in a zone and I got invited to a group by some guy that was killing mobs near me. I accepted the invite and he said "We're on the same quest." I looked in my quest log and discovered that we were NOT on the same quest. My quest was to kill ogres and I still have no idea what his quest was. I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. I figured I'd help him anyway.
We're kicking ogre ass and we run into a cave and he says "Quest is in here." so I figured he had to kill a named ogre or get a drop off of an ogre in the cave. We kill all the ogres and finally we see a named ogre. We kill it, he can't loot it, or doesn't loot it and we continue the ogre slaughter. About 5 minutes later a green leather item drops. Of the whale or some such. My "questing buddy" here is a warrior but he rolls need on said item. This and his spec were making me think that he's a new player that doesn't really know how things work yet. Thats fine, we're all new at some point.
I have to admit I was getting a little cranky though because he didn't seem to know what quest he was doing and he wouldn't tell me. Every time we hit a dead end in the ogre cave he would say "wtf man" and turn around. He was using a [Ravager] for his weapon and every time it would proc he would say "Wtf I'm stuck I can't move." So we had to wait 9 seconds for him to be able to move again every other fight. *sigh*
Then he just left the party. I still have no idea what quest he was doing but I hope he got it finished. Thats really all I can say.
They say WoW is noob friendly and in some ways it really is. You can be pretty "bad" at WoW and still do well in it but the game doesn't do all that much to teach you how to play I don't think. It gives you the basics and some of us can figure stuff out on our own but for the most part with things like attack rotations and leveling specs and all that you're on your own unless you read the official forums, which most people don't seem to do.
I hope this guy learns his stuff because WoW is a lot more fun (especially as a warrior) when you know exactly what to do. I don't really know how to give people advice in game because every time I've ever tried, no matter how nice I thought I was being about it, I've been told something along the lines of "OMG Don't tell me how to play my class." /shrug.
