I have played with guys like this usually a smoke breake or just taking 30. I also totally sympathize as someone who only ever raided for entry level pvp gear anyway. I could not stand most raid personalities. Sometimes I would even chat with the AFK guy while he smoked and we just poked fun at their grief. But when the raid leader is having a fight with his irl gf you just have to escape.
all these people complaing that it constantly sucks, why do you read it? you know you can NOT read it right?
Its like going to a resteraunt, complaing that the food tastes like ****, then going to the same resteraujnt again and again and again, complaining every time that the food tastes like ****.
Its called insanity.
Apparently stating the truth in my sig is "trolling" Sig typo fixed thanks to an observant stragen001.
Yeah, honestly, in the years I've been coming to this site, I've never really seen any comics that made me laugh out loud, just occasional smiles or a chuckle. Or maybe, at 36, my sense of humour has evolved and requires something more nourishing.
Maybe the staff should just do an event, like a whole week or two of user-submitted comics and funnies, post 'em, and maybe then pick one or two as a weekly feature for the site.

Lies it is my obligation to complain, it must come in, type fail humor, and sometimes try to be funny myself and fail! Joking aside, some of this have been somewhat funny, nothing actually making me laugh, but still decent.
I agree with the previous posters that these comics lack. Now that I think about it... I have never been entertained by any of the comics posted on this site. They all seem to have the same theme... bland. This comic described a typical situation with absolutely zero comedy value, yet it's spun towards us as though it's supposedly funny.
I would go so far as to say that I'm insulted by these comics. It's almost as if the writers think we're literally retarded enough to find this stuff amusing.
Wow I feel sorry for the poor artist. It's like watching an uncomfortable teenager on open mic night at a comedy club. You guys are the jeering patrons.

I think many of us keep coming back to see if the writer has gotten any better. I'm hopeful that one day I will pop in and I will find reason to laugh at something besides the comments.
THATS WHY BEFORE EVERY GROUP WE ASKED PEOPLE - DO YOU HAVE PIZZA ON THE WAY? DID YOU TAKE A PISS? DID YOU SCRATCH YOUR BALLS? DO YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAY OR YOU ARE 12 AND YO NEED TO BE IN BED?
Honestly, PUGs are the worst way to get a group going...
I like the humor myself. Without being mean and getting the point across. It most certainly happens in every raid. with our guild. Have gotten to the point that I have made them go AFK before the very first pull and then there is not break till the third or so boss. So far it seems to be working
I feel bad for being yet another critic of this comic series, but these are simply not funny. Yes, they're usually 'true', but there's no comedy in the way these observations are delivered. They're simply that.. observations about certain things that happen while playing MMOs. They lack a strong punchline, or any real comedy, and as seen by the last one, some seem to only make sense in the author's mind.
The comic was pretty much just a visual description of the paragraph that set up the comic. So if that was the goal... success?
Also, this David North fellow, unless he has another account that he posts at, does not seem to be a member of this community at all. So citing him as "MMORPG.com's own" seems to imply that he's one of 'us', but in reality it only strengthens the fact that he works for the site and is not actually a part of, or even in touch with this community.

People who get mad about this its because they cant face the reality... another reason to destroy the holy trinity maybe? who knows.

"MMORPG.com's comic genius David North"
At least the intro was funny.

Predictions for future episiodes AKA back to the past:
1) A comic about how NPCs always buy guts and eyeballs
2) A comic about how all adventures carry around 20 backpacks
3) A comic about a big ole hairy guy playing a sexy female
4) A comic about corpse runs or corpse dragging
5) A comic about RPing but one guy is only using 1337 speak
6) A comic about someone playing an undead character who is sitnky
7) A comic about a pice of armor dropping and it magically fitting the dwarf who won the roll.. even thought he giant ogre also rolled.
8) Bubble-hearth ranger's corpse
9) Insert your own already been done too many times before MMORPG comic joke...

Because unless you speak up and say something, it will keep on going with this half assed excuse of a comic.
If I stab you in the eye are you going to complain or "just ignore it".
