Ok belive me or not, i really could careless.

I lost my faith in this server, too many on there that just go on a power trip on everything, if you talk in chat and need help.. Good Luck finding help..

 

Roll a healer ???  WHY ???  So they can abuse you !?!?!.. It's your falt if you try to save someone's life and you die.. They tell you that healing causes aggro..  or tell you to roll a class that dont heal, so there will be less healers and more dps.. 

Nice work.. what did the healers ever do to get this? , abuse ?  Na its our falt. we cant heal on a player, and know hes going to, run away from you and pull more, or run and get more and yell heal me after hes got 10 on him to just yell noob..  Wow Noob healer heals noob tank ?  um so its all your falt ?  99% healers are at falt cause they just want to heal?

Can't be nice. cause it  wont help, they just make fun of you for being a nice guy.

I moved to another server if i was you?.. If you like Insults and hate from players, then you be right at home here!

Later, was fun but im out this server for good!

I would have to agree, currently have a level 21 hunter and 6 guardian. Been playing a little over a month, you have to take it slow and find people to group with/good kinship. Instead of going out and grinding/questing I take my time and enjoy the scenary, and like to RP a little.

Landroval's a great server. Packed full of people too and 99% are nice and helpful people:)

I don't want to dismiss your claims about the Brandywine Server - I'm not in a position to comment on its civility or lack thereof.

But healer grief is one of those sad things you see everywhere. Healers are easy targets for frustration. A freshly killed character can't actually hurt the mob that just killed them - mobs are just bits of code. But they can stick the boot into a healer, and some kinds do.

I hope you have better luck on another server, but as a long-time player of healing classes:

1. Any player who abuses you like that should get one friendly warning. Any repeat occurrences and just politely excuse yourself and leave the group. If you're in a larger group in an instance, explain to the group that you're not willing to continue putting up with that behaviour. Let them make a choice between the healer and the obnoxious prat.
2. Make frequent and liberal use of the /ignore feature that nearly every mmo has.
3. Try to get into a guild - that's good advice generally, for a lot of reasons, but for healer types it's especially helpful. I've only ever had one bad experience playing a healer in a guild - and that member was later kicked out for giving others grief.

Yeah, Landroval is pretty nice. I goofed the other day in one group, accidently pulling the wrong guy to the wrong dwarf (we had 2 dwarves in the fellowship, one the tank, and I mistook the other one for him. They're hard to tell apart in the dark in a dungeon).  While I was rightfully told to be more careful in the future, no one chewed me out or got upset.

 

And yeah, healer grief is pretty common.  I used to play GW and healers were treated really awful there (and so not many people played them, until that invincible monk build was discovered)

ahh, tanks are another type that get frustrated kids bitching at them. I remember pugging a heroic group in WoW. Ended up waiting on a huntard who never learned you need a key for heroics, and that this was his first. Well first pull is fine and dandy sort of, then hunter aggros a pat, then a bog lord, and a few other mobs as we slowly got through. Final straw was when I was figuring out the CC for a dicy lookin group of nagas, when suddenly I see the hunter use misdirection on me and pull all the nagas in that group right onto me. We wipe, he starts bitching at me for not paying attention and doing my job. He also took a few shots at the healer when they werent healing his pet.

 

one of the few reasons I dont like to tank or heal, I hate dealing with the idiots in games, though honestly, WoW has alot more tards than LotRO.

I started a character on Brandywine during the stress test.  That was obviously enough to cause me to avoid it when open beta and launch happened.

And whenever someone says something like "I've never seen/had a problem" that's usually because they are part of the group that causes the problems.

YMMV, yadda, yadda.

I love tanking, and honestly you're going to deal with the idiots anyways. At least as a tank or healer you have some kind of weight to throw around when he starts doing stupid things.

When I played WoW, as a rule I would avoid Hunters and Rogues unless it was VERY obvious that they knew what they were doing. Only on a few occasions did we ever have Rogues or Hunters in our guild, and they usually got kicked out within a few days.

33 Dwarven Guardian.  I'm fairly active, on for a few hours a week.

We do have good people on Brandywine, but you seem to be complaining a bit much...

I'm with Aethios on this one.

In the standard mmo setup, tanks and healers are core. No group enters an instance without at least one of each. The other slots tend to get filled up by anything available.

Idiots will screw up. If everyone wipes, too often the tank or healer will get the blame instead of that idiot.

But it's also true that the two people with the most power to save a group from a wipe when an idiot screws up are the tank and healer. Personally, I'd rather have that power than not, even if it means copping undeserved flak sometimes.
