just say no

I see your point. Battlestar Glactica uses "frak" instead of "fuck" - its pretty obivous. lol

What I'm getting at here is a simple report fo swearing could get these retards to piss off and leave us alone.

that made me cringed every time I heard it :S Inventing swearwords which mean the thing you want to say but can't say because it isn't PG friendly is such a load of cowpat.

anyways back on track I have a certain set of rules when I box and help someone..

If it's a stranger:

A) they will be kicked if:
are afk for 10 mins at a time
allow me to go afk if need be (I need to take care of things from time to time - and I am only doing this to help them)
consistently do things I tell them not too. ( I have a 5 times warning - 3 doesn't allow for mistakes imo sometimes - such as mistakenly running behind me, as this can be accidental but giving them 3-4 chances and explanations why they can't do that will usually make them learn)

B) I make clear to them that I need them to do something (assign them a roll, they usually feel like they are contributing). this usually makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant because they rly want to succeed in what theya re doing (unless of course they want you to wipe)
C) Master Looter - no debate, if they want something from the start they must specify what - and if we both want the same I do a 50-50 roll before the boss (usually i can do it alone if he decided to HS - at this point I have another on my blacklist ) I don't mess around either, if they won the roll I give it to them, even if they have been a pain in the ass, but have done every thing i say.

D) set out the rules of position and attack:
they must always remain in front of my group (except for possibly my main). If they draw agro they should expect me to heal them and not run about (stay put).
if they are a CC class (mage for instance) then they should CC once combat has started and CC at random (better they do that then dps the wrong mob) when they see who I am attacking, follow in suite.
If they are a tanking class, they should do their job in holding mobs, If I steal agro let the mob be (it will die before it can do anything)
If they are a healer <3 just heal when needed (not much to be done tbh and is a free ride most of the time - i don't mind so much because it allows me to 100% dps ftw)

It may sound strict but if they follow those rules the run is usually just as fast as my normal team (especially with a healer), and usually very enjoyable for them and myself ^^ once they get past the whole, omg this guys is soo dictatorial part :P

if it's ppl I know then they have no doubt already experienced my boxing and thus know what to do a friendly group kick and re-invite usually reminds them of what they did wrong :P

as far as healing goes I have a focus dps/heal macro, this I normally use for Earthshocks etc but under these circumstances I use it as a heal for the new team member. If there are more then 2 ppl, then I set the focus on the person most likely to take more damage (a tank or ehn sham for instance) and then heal the other with a round about chain heal.

using that means I tend to have good experiences with other players
