The not-RAWR versions in the link provided are actually kind of cute, but that one is just scary o.

Cannon or not, intended or not, Glint is still the first dragon you "can" fight in the game.

The thing is, I go in blind - but *gasp* don't cause wipes, even though I'm the healer. I'm slowing us down MAYBE 5 minutes for them to give me a second to figure out which path to take.

I've recently "blindly" pugged The new Gul'gurub in WoW for example. I have deadly boss mods - and I'm a fine healer - but the people in my group just mounted and took off pulling the first group before I had even zoned in. They ran through the green mist without telling me to touch the cauldron (luckily I knew, when a family member told me)

But honestly, would it have taken all THAT long to wait for me? Maybe one person died the whole run (besides that fight with the insta-death whatever it is) and I was sure to let them know I was new - and they couldn't be bothered to mention basic things to me.

That's where I think it's really stupid I should have to research every detail, killing my one-time enjoyment of exploring a dungeon. It takes no time at all to explain something. And I'd do it for other people gladly.

@Scopique

I agree with this. I think it's ridiculous to say you HAVE to research something before attempting it on your own. It takes a lot of the enjoyment of discovery out of it for me to read every little detail about a dungeon before going in.

Not even saying people need to explain fights to me (even though is polite) but in the example given in the article the people just up and left the healer and started pulling. I thought we learned back at level 20 how goddamn stupid that is.

I don't know all the possibilities, but I had a friend with carpal tunnel and arthritis and excessive movement of the arms and wrists was quite painful for her. Being able to rest her hand on the same set of keys would have been a great boon for her.

That's awesome! Sign me up :D

Want...!

:D

I really wish you'd stop bringing up "Guild Wars did it too" when talking about this topic. In guild wars, you can only make a max level PVP-only character (You're not allowed to leave PVP areas, like the arenas) It's not the same as handing someone a raid-ready character for PvE content. -- The game itself isn't even focused on leveling, there's a reason the level cap is only 20.

I'm not saying it isn't true, just that's it's WAY different than handing out level 90 EQ2 characters.

Storage space is always a plus! I'd spend my points on that for sure.
