Yup, the people who whine about encountering rude people in randoms are also the ones who say they spend ages complaining if not everyone does everything exactly the right way, and then fail to see a correlation there.
Not so. I almost never complain about people (though I will give tips if they obviously don't know what they're doing -- say, melee DPS who are standing in front of mobs who have cleave). I don't mind people being a bit off, mistakes happen, I don't care. If we don't wipe, it wasn't a big deal. If we do, it was a learning experience.
But I still find it very problematic when people are rude, and I have vote-kicked someone for it. I am interested in playing WoW to
have fun
. Running an instance with people who don't really know their classes, but who are friendly and polite, is a blast. Running an instance with people who are nearly perfect at game mechanics and are jerks, is really painful.
Seriously, your stereotype is ridiculous. I have never met anyone who complains a lot about people doing things wrong and also about people being rude. I've met lots of people who complain a lot about people doing things wrong and who
are
rude, but never one who complains about other people being rude.

Like I said we are all a$$holes who like playing the game not making friends. So my question is does that make you dislike me?
Yes. If I ever encountered you, you'd get some combination of vote-kicked, ignored, and possibly reported for harassment if you talk anything like you give the impression you would.
You are not playing the game. Playing the game means knowing your role and playing it. If you're tanking when not marked the tank, you're not playing your role, and that means you are sucking at the game. You have mistaken "winning" for "playing".
Might I suggest that you just go hand your account to a power-levelling service and stop logging in yourself, given that you apparently find the actual game odious and unfun, and only want to have gotten whatever rewards, without actually enjoying the process of getting to them?

sorry seebs but when you reach a point where you have been there done that but you need to run something stupid and unchallenging like the heroics (which mind you have been out a very very very long time now) to get a pair of frost emblems to buy another PS to sell on the Ah
So don't do that if it's such a chore.
It's a game. We're having fun. Why aren't you? You aren't having fun because you're not playing a game, you're doing chores. That's your problem. Don't inflict it on the people who actually enjoy the game.
and you get grouped with people who think your a newb because you can vertually 2 man the stuff in less time then the rest of the groups 5 mans take then who sir is the newb?
I don't think you're a "newb".
I think that you should either group with other people in your situation, by building groups yourself, or play the game. If you hate running dungeons as anything but a tank, queue as a tank.
Your right and I do understand why you would be soo upset with folks that pull this nonsense since you are the type that needs to have things by the rules even in a video game but maybe you should realize that it is just a game and we are having fun why arent you?
I like how "it's just a game" is the end-all and be-all of excusing being a jerk.
It's a game. Playing it means, if you're DPS, you watch your aggro, don't pull aggro off the tank, and let the tank pull. If you don't do that, you are sucking at the game, no matter how geared you are.
We aren't having fun because we get idiots in our group who think that, because it's all boring to them, we shouldn't be allowed to play the game the way it was designed. I promise, if I see someone doing what you're doing, in any group I'm in, I'll be there with two friends, and we will vote-kick you before the final boss. Every time.
You wanna play a MULTIPLAYER game? Play
with
the other players. I don't see why you're so upset at the notion that the other players in your group are part of the experience.
If your daily random is a chore,
stop running daily randoms
. Don't do something that's not fun.

Epic QQ, bro.
Yeah, how horrible of me to suggest that maybe people who think the game is a tedious chore should stop playing it instead of trying to wreck it for other people.
I solved this problem already. I figured out the difference between chores and games, and I play the game, rather than doing the chores. Some days I don't get any frost badges. Some days I do. But every single day I play, I have fun. I meet cool people, I have fun hanging out with them, I enjoy playing.
Part of that comes from being ready to kick people who aren't able to cooperate.

I was on my tank the other night doing some randoms. I move things along pretty well. If the healer has mana, I'm generally pulling with no down time. Evidently that wasn't fast enough for the healer. He started running ahead and pulling groups. Of course that made aggro fun because the dps took that as their cue to open up and I'm suddenly running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to gather everything up.
After the second such pull, I simply said, "You pull them, you're tanking. Hope you brought your gear."
It had a remarkably calming effect on our antsy healer and the run went smoothly after that. Sometimes you just have to exert a little control. Kind of like being a parent...
