So, a couple further gaming issues.
WoW players:
Please critique the following:
If you right-click to attack, you run the risk of:
a) targeting the wrong mob, if one is sapped, shackled, sheeped, etc.
b) accidentally looting something mid-fight, which means your healer has something on their screen distracting them from healing you.
Options:
1) Assist the tank, and enable "attack on assist." Assuming the tank doesn't screw up, and you don't pick a time where they're switching targets to build aggro, you're golden.
2) Tab target. Tab key switches among all the targets in front of you in a rotation. You can watch the symbols on top of the mob portrait to see if you have the correct one targeted. Then attack.
3. Left-click to target, check target, then press attack key.
Are there real advantages to the right-click attack, or are people just lazy and don't care if they die because their healer is comparing wand stats?
And a morality question:
The warrior that drove us nuts, objectively, isn't a bad player all by himself. It's that he orders other people around, and either doesn't listen or pushes the wrong button repeatedly, and that's what drives everyone crazy.
So, yeah, it's just ONE thing he's clicking, once, and that's screwing it all up. It could easily be an honest mistake, once. It could as easily as that be a scam. (People do that, "oops! I pushed the wrong button, I take the expensive item!" quite a bit.) The question is, how many times do you forgive someone for making an avoidable mistake? How many hours of your own time do you put into letting them take advantage of you?
...and yeah, it's hypothetical for the future, I won't be grouping with him anyways.
