Oh, the joys of joining groups of people you don't know. Here's the story. Emily and I decided we needed to run through the Gnomeragon dungeon with our Night Elf characters to complete some quests and get some good loot. We knew we couldn't handle it with just the two of us so we put a call out to our guild. Someone replied and said they already had a group right outside of the dungeon ready to go. Emily and I ran over to where they were. When we got there the first thing Emily noticed was that two of the guys were just jumping up and down and the third one was running in circles. "Well, this might be interesting", we thought. The second thing Emily noticed was that all three of the other players were Paladins; two Dwarfs and one Human. Again, a red flag but I figured we'd wouldn't be hurting for healers. So we joined the group and headed off into the dungeon. To keep this story short let's just say that nobody knew where they were going and the two dwarf paladins keep running ahead and attacking mobs and bringing them back to the group to fight. We died a lot. No quests were completed. Eventually, everyone quit in anger. It turned out the two dwarf paladins were intentionally trying to get each other killed. What's really sad is that we spent more than two hours busily fighting off mobs these guys would agro before we finally stopped. That and running back to our corpses every time we died. Since most of the mobs in Gnomeragon are far below our level we got almost no XP from the whole debacle which brings me to a little complaint I have about the way WoW assigns XP for Elite mobs. But that's a topic for another post.
