You come out sounding kinda beta, you can´t carry this 1 guy through r1 or what? 

I have no idea what actually happened, but one thing that's always a red flag is when a clearly inexperienced player hops into a reaper LFM, then gets into the quest and does nothing but die.

If you don't know the quest, then make it clear to the leader. Even then, it's not like the leader is obligated to spend his/her time to teach you everything... especially if it's reaper. Simply read the DDO wiki entry for a few minutes, or if you really care about a quest, figure it out on your own time. That's what I did for countless quests, rather than bog down and annoy my team members.

And if you can't handle hard/elite difficulty, you shouldn't be joining a reaper group. There's nothing wrong with being a newb (we all were new at some point) but just know your limits. Back when I was starting out in 2010, I consciously avoided most elite LFMs because I knew my character wasn't ready for them yet. I don't see what's so hard about that.

This isn't a matter of being a "beta player" or whatever, it's just a matter of common sense.

I know what you mean and I totally agreed. my point is his arrogancy.

he booted in reaper raid group because he never played it on even hard before and he doesn't know even how to dance. and he sniveling on the forum to make ppl blame that party leader. he's just a hypocrite pretend to someone worried about the server population.

I'm a big fan of not running a first time through any raid on reaper. OP should have joined a regular run for their first instead of thinking his past accomplishments meant he deserved a spot there, but the party leader needs to set proper expectations with the LFM and put that they don't want people unfamiliar with the raid in the run.

It warms the cackles of my nihilistic heart every time the mobos devolve into a particularly shitty episode of Dr Phil.

Inexperience is a place we all have to start.  I don’t mind slower paces or mistakes because of this because I know I’ve made plenty.     For example, the WPM slippery path over the trap pit. 

Then there are just people who are like hyper kids running past every lock out point and generally being restless and troublesome constantly.  That is pretty annoying but I can just keep my distance or handle appropriately knowing how they are.

But the worse for me are the assholes.  These people have the holier than thou attitude that makes me want to drive my thumb into their eye socket through the screen.  I just ignore them and don’t feed in but I can’t help thinking what it would feel like locked in a cage with them..mmmmmmm.. 

So beginners ok, dumb less ok, assholes missing an eye.

Alpha-Beta was a grocery store chain when I was a kid

98% of the raids I have ever done are pugs, but on khyber it’s all the usual subjects so we know what we are getting most of the time.  Like when people post rangers need not apply, or now bow instruments allowed, we have a hard or have a twist in Fatesinger.   Soon as everyone learns my antics for making raids too easy with my massive hanging DPS, I will only see “xxx has declined your invitation...

So the real problem is saving up enough free non boycotted ddo points for my name change where I will add a “-1” to the end of my name and again rain down DPS upon Khyber!
