I feel the need to vent on the topics below.
1.) Some people need to learn to read. If person a comments in his/her search read it don't just look at the words. Example "no sewers" means just that I do not want to go into the sewers. Do not invite this person and expect to have him/her go into the sewers.
2.) If a person is on a mission the search will show that this person is currently on a mission. Do not try to invite this person to join your team while this person is in middle of a mission and expect that it is the the persons responsibility to contact you when done. I feel that this is not my job to contact you when I am done. If you want me on your team you contact me latter a lot can happen in a short period of time. I have lost track on how many times his has happpened recently.
3.) If you form a team have some missions ready. I hate it when someone invites me and just stands there without any idea of what to do next or has nothing to do. If you want to form a team have a plan.
4.) Ok so you a have done the frost fire so many times you know the layout by heart. This does not give you an excuse to seperate from the team so they can get wiped just so you can kill frostfire himself. This has happened to me twice and each time I wanted to kick the players ass. Letting your team get wiped so you can be a glory hog is wrong.
5.) If you are in a zone do all the available missions in that zone even if that means doing your fellow teammates missions are are lower than yours. So what if you don't get uber xp. This is a game and part of it is helping with missions other than yours. Spread the missions around so everyone is getting missions done.
6.) As a player do not expect me to charge into a room of reds and purples. I do not care if i am on a team. There are better tactics than "Ready Go". I will not kill myself for the sake of your uber xp. I have recently been invited to a team. We went inside and all I saw was purple. I said I will not fight all purples. They ignored my concerns so after the first skrimish I quit the team and they say that I was whiney. (there way 5 people 2 where quite higher so only 2 got sidekicked I opted not to because I was close to leveling. I did not realize that they had the mission set to unyielding. So 3 level difference plus another 1 to 3 level difference means all purple even after I would of leveled).
4.) I am sick and tired of some players mainly scrappers and tanks crying about xp. It is very rare that I will hear a controller complain about xp. Its a game that means doing missions. Some people have lost track of that any only care on how fast they can level. Who cares that Bob got to level 50 in 2 weeks. He probably missed out on a lot by doing so.
Any comments on this or do you have a gripe let it out.

you make some good points and i think most of your gripes are with immature and rude players. a lot of that stuff disappears when you find a good group of players, like other ampers, that know what they are doing and respectful of other players.

Berg, you covered a lot of my own complaints in that rant of yours. A lot of those are the reasons that I despise PuGs anymore and seldom team. I teamed with a PuG yesterday on my Emp, and I think it took us nearly 2 hours to finish one mission and even get to the next mission.
One complaint that I was considering writing as a rant of my own is this. NOT ALL DEFENDERS ARE HEALERS. Sorry, but that has been screaming to be let out for quite a while. All too often, the first thing I see when anyone bothers to send a tell is "Can you heal?" or "Are you a healer?". Enough already. When I tell them I'm not a healer or that I'm a dark healer or a storm defender, etc, the most common response is "Ok, nvm." Why does everyone expect a defender to be an Empathy/??? defender? And, why is it that if you aren't playing an Emp they seem to think you aren't a healer or are of no use to them. This bias is really starting to cheese me off to the point where I want to throttle a lot of players.
Anyway, thanks Berg for making this thread for those of us with gripes we need to get out.

i think a lot of these are problems that you dont find anymore once you get into the mid 20's and 30's. people understand the game and their toons more by that point. also i like how you count. 1...2...3...4...5...6..4 :)

This thread isn't giving me enough XP, I'm going to one that does!
The one that bugs me the most from what you've pointed out is people asking you to join the team while you're inside a mission. I got this one just this morning... 'Hey, need a lackey?' to which I just said 'No I don't.' I hate that to absolutely no end. I wanted to cuss at that so badly but sadly I am the better man and really don't want to get into a cussing fight with someone. Takes time away from getting XP.

I'd like to add to this one. I was running around awhile back( a long while) with my kinectics defender and got invited to a team. they asked politly if I wanted to do Frostfire and I said yes, because I needed XP and they needed a healer. before we went in I said to them that I was kinectics and if that was ok. They all said yes, that's fine (something was telling me they didn't get the picture). Trouble started as soon as we went in. Oranges, reds, and purples. I was lvl 10, no DOs yet. When the fight started, the 'leader' was screaming HEALS HEALS! After the second fight, I screamed back at him, I am kinectics you moron! I need a foe to heal you guys! No hit no heal!
He was silent, and his buds were laughing. THere after I quit and joined another team. I know it's not a vent, but I thought I should share that little story.

i have a few problems with some of your problems.
i am a person that loves to be in a team, i will not solo unless i have been logged in for 30 mins trying to find a team without success or im like half a bar from lvling i will usually just hunt it.
so if i cant find a team i will decide to go solo and do some of my missions on my lonesome. i have no problem at all with someone sending me a tell for their team. and i will happily leave my missions to get onto the team.

HAHA this reminded me of something.
a bunch of us were doing posi on sunday for most of the day. towards the end of the TF, i got two PMs from random people, one being BARBARA WALTERS, saying "level 14 healer LFT" and "lvl13 blaster lft". i just responded by PMing back "ok thanks for letting me know you were online and lft!"

HAHAHA, Big. I remember that. Wasn't the other one Storm Xman or something like that?
As far as my little rant about defenders, no, it doesn't stop in the 20s and 30s. Even when I'm on Pale Walker who is in his 30s, I still get the same kinds of tells asking the same questions. I have even had people yelling at me that I wasn't healing enough especially when going up against Sky Raiders. They don't seem to understand what a targetted heal can and can't do unless they've played a defender.
Sadly, a lot of these 'experienced' players that still don't seem to understand how things work came about during the PLing Winter Lord days or were PLed by those that got their 50s from that time. Case in point, stand in Atlas for a bit on any server and listen to all the requests to have someone PL their hero. Too many people seem to be about how fast they can level and not just enjoy the game along the way. I'm all for leveling, but a lot of that is wanting to get to the parts of the game I still haven't seen yet (lvl 35-50 content).

I agree with everything that has been said so far. One of my biggest complaints is people telling me how I should be playing my character. If I am a scrapper they tell me I cant tank. Well that is funny because I do it all the time. I am not as resistant as an actual tank but I can hold my own. Then there are the people that tell me when I am a tank that I have to go in there and take all the aggro and not attack. Umm no that is not how I designed my tank. He can do both and do very well thank you. I never tell anyone how to play the character. Everyone plays different. Is there times when I think someone could do something different to survive better? Sure I do. As I am sure people have thought of me. But I never tell them they HAVE to play a certain way. That is not for me to say that is for them to figure out how they enjoy playing.

I agree with all of this! Its all so true. Sadly, it doesnt end once you get higher up. I get it even now im in my 40's!
The one thing I get pee-d off at are the people that DEMAND to join there team or join yours. You say no thanks and they go "why?"
Why? 'cos I dont want to thats why! Why should I have to give a detailed reson why I dont want to leave my mission to join you, or allow you in my mission and possibly mess it all up!
Still, I stay polite and give my reasons and they go "you dont know what your missing!"
I also get annoyed at people who ask me to join their much higher team when im already in a mission. They say "Wanna join a lvl47+ team, possible EB!"
Im level 41, and im having enough trouble as it is. A possible EB? Well, whoop de doo! I'd rather work my way up levels and fight an EB on an equal footing thanks!
Also, people that ask if they can join your team, only to find their loads of levels lower, at level 15ish! IM NOT A POWER LEVELLER!
However saying all this, I must say that people who say thanks for replying to their tells aer a nice thing.

I think what the rant is about is being pestered for teams when you are either on a team already, or wanting to solo for a while. I solo about half the time, either because I'm waiting for friends to get on, or to clear old mishes. I rarely ask anyone to be on their team because I know I will get an invite sooner or later, so as long as I'm not almost done with a long mish, I will come out and join a team.
I am also a member of several chat channels, so I get my fill of social interaction that way and can solo at the same time.

I must say that this is something I make sure I do. I tend to run with toons that need teams (more support heroes) and when I do send Tells out to possible teammates, I like getting a response back.
If they decline my offer I send back, "No problem, thanks for responding".
I also don't broadcast my recruiting of a team. I will broadcast if I am looking to join one, but if I am trying to get a team together, I send out personal tells to those I find close to my level and not currently in missions.

Oh, I love to vent!
1) I DO NOT respond to blind invites. Why? Because they usually involve those people that want to get a group together 1st then decide what to do. My play time is limited so I don't want to sit around while you decide how many people, what ATs to invite & what we are doing.
2) Invites when I am on another team or on a mish. READ PEOPLE! That's why those columns of words are there.
3) When my SS scrapper says I will be glad to go to....., but a TP would really help. Don;t drop me because I asked for a TP. That is so rude! I just asked.
4) Don't invite me & then inform me we are doing a TF/SF. I may not have 4+ hours to donate to the cause. Gee-whiz!
5) Don't tell me how lame my powersets are. I like to make odd powersets & try to make them work. Not every superhero is perfect. We all have our little foibles. And besides I CAN'T CHANGE THEM NOW!
6) Don't PM me during the mish to complain about onther teammate. Unless the guy is being a total idiot & causing my death (or lots of others) I won't lower myself to answer.

I have a dedicated healer built specifically for team play. So I get invited to a team of about 6 people just to find out that I am the only one with any missions everyone else had no tasks.
I am the highest level person (by 3 levels on the team) and the "team leader" tells me to raise my difficulty to unyielding. I reply with "no". While waiting for them to select a mission I go to talk to a contact to finish one of my previous missions. The so called leader is telling everyone to get a mission to play. I tell him I have 3 ready to go with 2 in this zone. He does not ask but tells me to raise the mission difficulty again and I reply with "no". Then he calls me an idiot for not doing so. So I quit the team and had him watch me leave.
By the way this has now happened several times.
1.)First of all if you are a team leader it is your responsibility to have missions ready. Nothing aggravates me more that being invited to a team with nothing to do but stand around.
2.) If you want to raise difficulty ASK do not TELL the person in question to do so.
3.) If a person says NO honor their request. Acting like an ass is the quickest way to get a person to quit.
Why does everyone try to invite you to a team if you are already on a mission? I have lost count lately because of people doing this.

What gets me about that is...

Hummm,
I was on the other day and heard that someone was setting up a Moonfire TF, well Whimcycle didn't have that one and signed up. We waited a half hour while the leader tried to fill the slots to her liking, she wanted a balanced team and she got one. The longest wait was to find a Tank.
Into the missions we go. We wait for the Tanker to do tankie stuff, she doesn't budge from the group. Leader suggests now would be a good time for the tank to draw some aggro, nothing. I scoot forward and drop the PA behind the Vamps, NOW the tanker advances, but doesn't taunt. She starts fighting like scrapper. I take the tanking duties.
Next mission, we loose the Empath Defender, DC she says when she logs back on the next to the last mission. Now, along with tanking, I am now the sole healer for a grooup of 7, Luckily my RA's didn't get EXempted out. Oh, have you ever noticed how much damage a Tank that thinks it is a scrapper takes? Especially when she doesn't keep an eye on her six? Keeping that tanker alive was an almost full time job.
About 1/2 way thru I got a PM from the leader thanking me for taking over the Tank/Empath jobs. I told her she was welcome and I honestly didn't know why she had spent so much time looking for the last two when she had an Ill/Empath on the team already. Since I solo most of the time, I'm use to having the PA Tank, the Phantasm be my Blaster and me the Scrapfender. Occasionally, I even do Controller things, but not too often, don't want to set a bad presedent.
She got a laugh from that and said she'd keep that in mind for the future.

one thing that i hate is the whole, not all defenders heal thing, cuz i usually play them, and its very frustrating. also, i made my build the way i did because i wanted to. now that i know the game well, i make characters built on concepts. ok, so maybe you wouldnt have taken so many psy blast powers. well, thats why its my toon and not yours! ok, so you think group fly is dumb. maybe i dont! ever thing that i took it cuz i wanted to???
also, we have a saying in the Unitarian Universalist community, dont harsh on other peoples' mellows. i got into a 15-minute PM conversation with someone who was trying to make me repent my eveil thoughts and de-gay me!!!! he was telling me how sad my life must be, and i was trying to remain pleasant and polite, but he was being such and ASS!!! and using really....descriptive..... language about what i should try with a woman so i wouldnt be gay anymore. he actually plainly refused to even try to befriend a gay person when i asked him if he could try to be open-minded. i ended up signing off and ignoring him.
oh yeah, and his name was Lhabia.......gross....
lets see who actually has the patience for that!

Ah, venting.
Last night was my fourth Hamidon raid as Kid (four in as many days -- Pinnacle is busy making up for lost time). I knew right off there were going to be problems when I saw a Phantom Army out for one of my teammates in the mito team during mito phase. I asked her to drop them and she insisted she couldn't -- I don't know much about Illusion 'trollers, but can't most pets be dismissed?
Be that as it may, the big problems didn't show until we'd finally finished mito phase. In the hold phase, a bunch of us (those familiar with how things work) stepped back and waited... and we could see gathered around the Hamidon that not only were the 'trollers holding, but there were huge numbers of other toons attacking with blasts and whatever else they had in their arsenal.
The cries of 'Stop attacking! Holds only!' resounded. Nobody listened. They kept attacking. 'If you keep attacking he's going to spawn mitos at half health and we'll all die!' They kept attacking. 'Please stop!' 'It takes too long your way!' one of the idiots said.
Needless to say, Hami got down to half health and poof. Yellow dawn. Having seen this coming, I was already as high in the sky as I could go, and still a mito took me down to 1/4 health before I could hit my Pocket D teleporter.
The raid leader tried to take the blame on himself, but he had tried to stop people from doing what they were doing. It just wasn't working.

Venting is so fun LOL.
One thing I have found that I will not tolerate on a team if I am leader is people that will bash other teammates. There is no room for that. This is a game, plain and simple. Now I might get frustrated with peoples way of playing but unless I nicely suggest something to the person I usually keep my mouth shut. I figure I screw up all the time. I am not going to bash someone for them screwing up.
Besides I usually learn things from teamates =)

Venting is such a healing process
I was in the Hollows the other day and BAM I run into another hero with my costume!!!!
When I went to Steel Canyon the tailor guaranteed me it was a one of a kind. I spent a lot of influence on that costume.
seriously 1. please do not waste everyones time telling them what they did wrong in their build.
2. please do not ask me to be a filler, that is happening a lot lately

First thing's first. A little anti-gay bashing, since Solarix (I think) spoke a little about that.
Personally, I don't see what people have against gay people. It just doesn't make sense to me. If you think it's gross or whatever to see two guys/girls kissing, nobody's forcing you to watch, and you won't be traumatised from seeing it for less then a second.
Also, it's not like gay people choose to be that way. Though, in a sense I don't like that argument because it half-implies that it would be bad to be that way if they DID choose. Personally, whether they choose to be that way or not, they are the way they are however it came about, and that shouldn't be questioned or criticised. It doesn't effect other people's lives any more then any straight couple would, so I don't see what the problem is. Or rather, others don't see that there is no problem.
(for the record, I believe they can't choose to be that way anyway)
It's kinda funny in a sense, because for any anti-gay argument I can always seem to think up a better anti-gay bashing argument right on the spot.
Now, onto gaming material.
Now, since I only get on too party with my brother and sister, I'm not to experienced with PuGs, but that's almost all there is in FF11 so I can draw many parallels and I feel your pain.
I figure just READING about what other ATs/power sets can do would make the game more enjoyable by everyone, since it would no doubt open many people's minds to non-main-stream builds, both to try and to accept.
People don't even have to go through the laborious task of TRYING all these sets/ATs out, just reading about them unbiased-ly would be enough. And with CoX it's even easier then FF11, because of all the hero builders out there that have all the descriptions and brawl indexes and whatnot.
Personally, when I play an MMO I try to know as much as I can about all classes/jobs/ATs in the game, for three main reasons:
1. To have the knowledge so I can be more accepting of other people's ideas and be more open-minded and whatnot;
2. So I know that the class/job/AT I chose is really the one I'd most prefer playing as;
3. I hate not having the bigger picture in view for things like this. It's just a personal nuisance (sp?).
So as you can see, it would benefit all parties from doing this. Why people don't do this is beyond me.
**EDIT**
As a big advocate for the healing abilities of ranting, I propose a petition for a ranting forum. Whee!

I do have one, although it happened a long time ago. I was leading a Positron TF (was my 8th try, as I recall), and was playing my original incarnation of Schattenbolt, a flying elec/elec blaster. You really learn a lot trying to lead a TF. There was, however, this one scrapper that was being a total yutz.
He had never done the TF before, and didn't know what to expect from it, as did about half of us (there were 8). I had a plan for pulling (something that elec blasters excell at with Zapp) small controllable groups of baddies so that we could dispatch them quickly and easily. The TF was moving right along, when suddenly, he has had enough of it. He then begins to "Leeroy Jenkins" his way through the mobs, completely over-taxing the two defenders we had (one Emp and one Kin) and taking most of the aggro away from the tank. I explain to him what the plan was (again) and he said it was taking too long. I said, "Ok, let's do a room your way and time it, then we do a room my way and time it". I knew that his was would take twice as long, as he would pull aggro, run next to the defenders, die, and the defenders would then get attacked and die. Then the time it took to get from the hospital back to the TF was insane. One room and considerable debt later, I informed him that his way was inefficient and flat-out wrong, as it got his team killed and made him look like a jack-ass. He said my way was gay and took too long and kept people from playing while I power-tripped on being the leader spouting out orders (Kinda like how Wolverine always viewed Cyclops). So, I told him that he was welcome to stay or leave, but if he continued to harm the team then he wouldn't be a part of it. One more aggroed mob and I kicked him. I hate "Leeroy Jenkins" characters. I eventually made it through the TF (but not on that try) by getting three people to start it with me, and then letting them all quit and finishing it solo.
I also hated it when people told me that Elec/Elec sucked because of the nerfed damage (at the time) and completely ignored the fact that when I was around, enemies just stopped attacking after a little while.

there was a rant and rave forum a while back, but it was removed because it was causing some trouble on other sites.
lets try and keep any rants to game related, too. we don't to stir the mustard with any topics people would take offense.

Nothing better than a little venting to make ya feel better, besides going into Perez as a lvl 50 and sitting trip mines in every mob, and killing them instantly. That's pretty therapeutic too. :)

My two cents: Nothing, NOTHING, makes me more mad than someone who doesn't listen. I don't talk for the fun of it (ok, I do, but I still expect SOME kind of response).
One time, I was teaming with a level 35 WS who was arrogant as all hell. We noticed after a battle or two that he wasn't participating in the battles, but he was staying close.
After three or four times trying to talk to him, I TP'ed him into the middle of the nearest group of bad guys. All of a sudden, he's back at the controls fighting. He says, "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT 4?!"

| QUOTE | Personally, I don't see what people have against gay people. It just doesn't make sense to me. If you think it's gross or whatever to see two guys/girls kissing, nobody's forcing you to watch, and you won't be traumatised from seeing it for less then a second.
Also, it's not like gay people choose to be that way. Though, in a sense I don't like that argument because it half-implies that it would be bad to be that way if they DID choose. Personally, whether they choose to be that way or not, they are the way they are however it came about, and that shouldn't be questioned or criticised. It doesn't effect other people's lives any more then any straight couple would, so I don't see what the problem is. Or rather, others don't see that there is no problem.

This might cause some waves but i am going to get it out anyway. Myself and 4 other friends that all live in the same area decided to get together and play AT's that we normally don't play and see how far we get as a group. sounded like fun so we rolled with it. Mind you most all of us have already have 50's that we've accomplished over a year or so's time. so we would all get on and play a couple times a week. One of us had some family problems and emergencies that needed to be delt with and missed a week or two and when he came back most of us were about 10-12 lvl's higher than his toon. So to catch him up to the rest of the group my friend grabbed his 50 and i grabbed my 45 and we got him 8 lvl's and figured that would be enough to allow him to roll with the rest of us. I did not appreciate the responses i got while in PI.
"Your a Jack ass cause you PL'd that guy" or "hey can you PL me next?" or my personal favorite "you PL'd that guy I am reporting you"
personally i don't really agree with PL'ing, taking a toon from 1-50 with no effort doesn't agree with me, but is what my friend and I did that terrible?
This particular player has 3 50's on the same server so I have no doubt he knows how to play. But the responses i got from people really Urk'd me. I mean it is not like I took a toon from 1-50 then sold the damn account on ebay. I merely caught a player up with the rest of the group so we all could enjoy the expierience together as friends.
It just doesn't sit right with me that Tom, Dick and Harry and their dead Uncle Remus all PL guys with little to no Effort to make profit off of them, and piss off the rest of the community because they do this. Then when myself and a friend try to fill in the lvl gap of another group player who has been away and been outlvl'd, people immeadiately throw accusations and insults and threats at me and my friend.
It feels like while one guy robs a bank and kills the tellers, there is another guy out side on the payphone and the cops come up and arrest the guy on the payphone and charge HIM with armed robbery and murder.
If you wanna know what is going on ask and I will tell you, don't just look at me and my team and shout accusations.
sorry but that is my 200 cents.
