Low levels in KQ....

[Blaaaaaaaah]

>_> ...A 50+ fightre unable to take more than 1 hit from md? I could live through its hits at level 48..... on my archer. >_>

Yeah omgg I've partied with a few 50+ tankers that can't tank! It really annoys me!! I have no idea why. I mean, wacky can tank at 48, why can't they? They don't die in one hit, but sometimes they survive with like 10 hp or something and then they get another blow from the MD and gg them.

What I find annoying in KQs are people who:

1. Don't scroll up when they should.
I am mainly talking about fighters for this. Pretty much what I said above. I've partied with this fighter (I can't really remember the level but it's 50+) who was the main tank. But he didn't scroll up. I think I've asked once or twice, but he never answered and I didn't have time bug him to scroll up since I was too busy healing. But gosh, if he had put on some scrolls, even just a T1 vit/shield, it would've helped me heaps. That extra 200 hp he could get would have saved his ass 8347897 times.

I was trying to keep him alive to the best of my ability but he still died heaps. This annoyed me because it wastes a lot of time reviving him and the dragon charges at other people when he's dead. If he scrolled up it would be heaps better!!

2. Doing something they're not supposed to, and neglecting their own class's duties.
Talking about clerics in this one. I hate it when I have to keep reviving a cleric because they go in and attack when it is not needed (i.e. we have enough dpsers). I mean, if they can tank hits and are still looking after their party, that's cool. But if they die in one hit, why go up to hit them?! It's not like our damages are great anyway! -sigh-

[O-mie]

yeah, I know lower fighters used to get yelled at pretty harshly back in the day for being in MD.

I think though a lot of the lower ones are just unsure of what to do, it might be their first time in there. When I did my first one I was accompanied by a handful of friends who were all level 57-59, so they had me under their wing, and I was still like, ZOMG WHAT WHAT EEEEE D:

So I can imagine how chaotic it all must seem for people going in their on their first time. xD Just one of those things ya gotta deal with I guess!

But yeah, it does bug me profoundly when people in KQ don't do crap, and just stand there, or are like, "I Don't wanna waste scrolls, wah"

[Hessah]

yeah well i think we were just unlucky to have about 7-8 fighters who are all "new"....

the thing was these fighters are not noob in a sense that they dunno wat to do or is stupid... (well apparently they were yelling orders and telling the tank wat to do when they cant do a thing... but i was too busy keeping ppl alive to see the chat)

they were just... not tankable!

I think if there were just one or two or 3 that couldnt do anything at MD.. i wouldnt hv wrote this... but hving 7-8 frustrated me~ i think i'll just put it down as being unlucky....

What always annoys me in MD is when we have a boss in a clearing and I'm healing from a vantage point on the side of the path forward so when the boss drops and the mobs spawn I'm close to the front of the pack getting on the path just to go around a curve and find ppl shroomed up on the trail just waiting! That just makes me so angry!!

^ Ohh... this annoys me as well.

I know you don't want to die and lose scrolls or whatever but come on! D: Kind of makes you want to drag the mob trains towards them.

My personal views - Yes low-levels are allowed in there, but I still do not think that they are ready. Maybe the idea behind it was to get just one or two low levels in with a good group to show them the ins and outs. Unfortunately, sometimes you get a whole bunch of low-levels.
However, standing around doing nothing is not the way to go about it. I know I talked Patches into going when he was under 50 and after the 1st one, he said that he had no business being in there. And even though I told him that even if he couldn't hit the MD he could do mob-control, he felt that he would be better to wait until he could add more. He had an understanding of how it worked and what ot do, so after he hit 50, he felt better about doing them.
The ones that stand around doing nothing annoys the hell out of me and the ones that are shroomed up way ahead of the group - nothing good and dam well that with me being a mage and getting a head start on everyone else, that they were there the whole time - really annoys the hell out of me. If you are too low-level to take hits from the MD, at least be there for mob-control or you could even taunt the MD when he casts fear on the MT. This at least saves the DDs and the clerics from pulling the agro and you will get a rez.

Agreed with Spirit :3

If you're low leveled, fine. I mean, everyone has to start out somewhere, right?
A low level takes up another space ... but that space can be well used. If you can't hit a mob, use an aim/power scroll. Those are the first things in a scroll produc that you can make, and just buff yourself up with one of those (and maybe more). So, you can't always call that low level a waste of space.

But what really is a waste of space is when people either shroom up or ... just stand there. Doing nothing (or leeching). That is a waste of space. You're in the KQ; it's understandable if you have to afk for a few minutes (we all have lives), but if you're purposely doing nothing, what's the point? A KQ is about teamwork; if you're soloing, go ahead and stand around and do nothing, but let down an entire KQ? >O<
