Like many of you, I have had my fair share of pick-up group experiences in MMOs. These haven’t been all great or all terrible but rather ran a spectrum. I’ve jumped into (and right out of) groups with outright racists, but I’ve also encountered some terrifically lovely and funny folks.
Of course, PUGs are best-known for their idiocy, and I’m sure that I’m not alone in identifying some common behavior that drives me nuts. This can be something so benign, like the Always Jumping Rogue, to the wipe-effecting DPS who thinks that he is magically immune to alpha strikes.
What MMO teammate behavior drives you nuts? What do you wish other players would just cut out, already?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
