Blame the Healer!

I am a WOW player and I am a lvl 66 Undead Holy Preist of the Odyssey guild on Nagrand and I am starting a blog about my endeavors on WOW because there are some interesting events in game or some rants that I would like to get off my chest.

BLAME THE HEALER!1

Although i am currently a lvl 66 Holy Preist I would like to begin this rant by going back to an event that really made me angry back at lvl 49. I had logged back onto WOW after about a 3 month absence and also after saying that I wasn't going to play WOW again because it chewed up too much time.

I decided to start a random classic dungeon for one of the first few times and of course my role was healer. the dungeon chose for me was Zul'Farrak. Anyway i was going about healing my group as normal when I realized that my healing was severely delayed. Sure enough I looked at my latency and it was 4000. So evidently my group nearly died while I was trying to cast spells that were delayed by about 10 seconds when the Tank a Paladin called Zomgpali or something similar said "WTF do you even know how to heal?!". "I'm sorry" I said "I am experiencing really bad latency". I was Fully willing to accept the blame and apologize to circumstances beyond my control. But no the Paladin decided to be a dick. "No that's not it you're just bad at healing" he said. 'Seriously' I thought this asshole was going to attack my skill as a healer who had legitimately gotten to this point from lvl 1 and I had participated in a lot of instance groups before the new LFG system.

I kept going intending to prove this smug asshole wrong, but sure enough my latency hadn't gotten any better and against the next boss despite me constantly healing except for when I got turned into a frog my spells were delayed by a huge amount of time and my party wiped despite my best efforts, again the Paladin put the blame on me. "WTF do you know how to heal, you were just standing there doing nothing". I responded on my way back to the instance as a ghost. "I was frogged and from my perspective I was healing the entire time as I said bad latency". "No your just bad" he responded. I was getting really annoyed with this dickhead as he started suggesting to the group that they kick me for sucking and surprisingly since he was the only asshole in the group I didn't get kicked. So we went ahead and cleared the boss this time and I was out of mana and started drinking. Meanwhile the dickhead paladin went ahead with the rest of the party and left me there drinking. I thought no big deal they'll stop and wait for me, they won't be dumb enough to go ahead and attack the next mobs without me. But no of course not they started attacking with me miles away still drinking. I started running as fast as I could while they were getting owned and sure enough I only arrived seconds before they wiped. "WTF DO EVEN KNOW HOW TO HEAL!?" yelled the dickhead paladin. "WTF DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO REGAIN MANA!?, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!" I replied and left the group.

Because of this being one of my first experiences with LFG I started becoming skeptical of it.
But sure enough I exited the game, searched latency fix on google, downloaded a program to help with it and sure enough I was back to a constant and reliable 200 to 800 ms latency. Although 800 may be bad to some people, as an Australian I've had to get used to this for my entire time through WOW. Sure enough though I got through the next 1, 5, 1o and 15 lvls mostly using the Dungeon Finder with noone ever complaining about my healing skill and even complimenting me as being an "Epic healz" (actual quote). Now I was even more convinced that this Zomgpali guy was a judgemental dickhead that evidently had no concept of healing or at least trying to play with a bad latency. It was his attacks against me that really bothered me just him having a problem with me performance as I knew it was bad considering my circumstances. I was wrong to attempt to do an instance with such a bad latency and that was my only fault. I f he had have said "Dude your latency is making this impossible. I'm going to kick you". My response would have been. "Yeah fair enough no problem". But instead he had to be an asshole and waste his own and the rest of the group's time insulting me.

Now fast forwarding to lvl 65 I was running the Sethekk halls Instance in Outland at the minimum lvl allowed when after the party wiped I realized oh crap I was back at a bad 2000 - 4000 latency. I apologized to the party they it was my bad having bad latency and was just about ready to leave when the party started debating whether or not it was my fault and asked me not to leave. So I continued playing the instance and we wiped again. After this a DPS and Tank left the group and I had almost click leave group when replacements arrived shortly after.

So we continued to finish the entire instance with no more wipes when one of the DPS remaining from before said that it was not my fault but the shit ass Tank who had left and we were now free of. This was supported by the fact that despite having crap latency for the entire instance.

So this confirmed that not just was Zomgpali a winging judgemental bitch. But was also a bad Tank. So in conclusion I hope that everyone reads this and knows that if they are in group with Zomgpali to kick him for being an asshole and trying to kick a Healer that every group i've known has been glad to have. I hope noone groups with this cunt again and I also hope that since I don't remember what realm he was from that perfectly good people name Zomgpali don't get judgmentally booted due to what I have said.
