Ok, so maybe I was a little cranky and unreasonable. It happens sometimes.
But yesterday morning, I moved Tani to Cazic Thule, hoping to relive some of
the excitement of my early days. "26 Bard lookin" got me a group with 3
Shadowknights. Pretty damn good group actually for lizzies... lots of tank
power, i just sat back and used instruments and healed and damage shielded
and we didn't need much med time. Until we pulled more than two...

We had 4 lizzies, protector, sent, 2 defenders... the puller calls
protector, I "assume" we're all assisting, and next thing I know I'm being
beat on by the protector and am at 2 bubs of health. I say "Run?" .. they
say "No"... so i hang in there another bubble. At that point, I say, "i'm
outa here" and head to the zone, only to get whacked right before the line.
Happens all the time, but the interesting thing is what happened next.

Me: "So um, you know that taunt button?"
Puller: "If I taunt, they will hit me"
Me: "Um, you're kinda a tank"
Other SK: "But with that many lizzies, we'll die if we taunt"
Me: "Um, I died."
Third SK: "Oh, I thought you zoned"
Me: "Did you all zone"
PUller: "yeah, we made it"
Me: "Yes, I would be that smushed blue corpse you ran OVER on your way to
the zone"

All of a sudden my party disbanded...

I get back to the zone, pretty irate by now... and ask WTF happened. They
said "Well, you just don't know how to play with Shadowknights." I
mentioned that regardless of anything, its in really poor form to ungroup
someone on a corpse run.

Anyway, I dont' know that I told that story well. But i guess after reading
the "bad mage" thread, just wanted to point out that its never a bad class,
its almost always bad players.
