I have something new to gripe about today, and this may well (actually more than likely will) descend into a rant, but no fear, I have solutions in hand.
My gripe today is on the topic of those pesky little players, and in my experience on the side of order it is those anti-social Bright Wizards, who in a scenario leave the groups they have been assigned and go it solo. Now I understand why they do it, when your in a group you share your XP and renown with the others in your group, and they in turn share theirs with you. Now this is a Team game, where your along side your fellow players against an enemy.
BE A TEAM PLAYER ! ! !
These players are in effect through their actions telling the rest of us that they do not need us, we are beneath their awesomeness and they can do it on their own... But wait this cannot be right, as these are more often than not the same players who are constantly screaming in scenario chat "HEAL ME". Well tough, want to be on your own? Be on your own.
Now I think there is a simple fix to this problem that mythic can do that will solve this anti-social, better than thou playstyle, on one hand allow the option and just take the nerfbat and beat the hell out of any xp and or renown they get if they go on their own, just run a script which checks how many in your group, if theres enough players for you to have more in that group and if not, half or quater their renown/xp gain.
Or on the other hand theres the less controversial, at least in my eyes, route. Simply have a similar script which runs every 15-30 secods and moves people around the groups to ensure they are full at all times. This would solve the issue and it would just be a part of the scnario and not a nerf of any fashion.
In the mean time I have a method to self police the situation, If you see a player join a seperate group on their own, simply join him, keep doing so if he moves untill he either leaves the scenario parties completely (and thus will not show on any healing addon) or joins a proper group. Rise up and fight this scummy behaviour, people do it because we let them!
