I got some decent exp in Sol B Saturday and Sunday (6 bubbles, 1 death). I did not have an enchanter in
the group, so whatever crowd control we had fell to me. We had to handle multiple MOBs several times
(four at once a couple of times, seven in succession a couple of times) and we did rather well, but we
could have done better. How? If the other players had LISTENED TO ME WHEN I SAID TO TARGET ONE MOB OR TO
/ASSIST XYZ. (sorry about the caps, Harm). They didn't, probably because I'm just too gosh-darned polite
about it. If I had been dying as a result of this, I would have started to yell, myself. If people
continue to be clueless despite repeated polite nudgings, you have to HIT THEM ON THE HEAD.
