Maraudon

I spent way, way too long in a WoW dungeon today. As it always goes, when you try a dungeon with a random group of people, it seems fine at first.

The first sign of trouble was when I realized that no one was leading. We were all following eachother. I’d have lead but I didn’t know the dungeon. Eventually a leader was decided.

The second sign of trouble was when, after spending 2 hours getting there, the leader said that he took us to the wrong side of the dungeon. This actually happened twice more (I’m not joking.)

And the third sign of trouble, also the most hilarious one, was the following (paraphrased) series of events:

(priest) afk for 2 minutes
(me) ok
(1 minute later)
* dumbass tank runs into a group of 9 monsters
(15 seconds later)
Everyone is dead, including the afk priest.

For those unfamiliar with WoW, a priest is in charge of healing people. They also help kill things. 5 people against 9 monsters is challenging enough, but try doing it with just 4 and no priest. By the time everyone resurrected, ran back, got buffed and mana restored, another 20 minutes went by.

We eventually made it to the end. It took about twice as long as it should have. I earned very little experience. And to top it all off, I forgot to get a quest item off the last boss before I teleported out.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.
