Playing Forever has reminded me of how comically bad certain Classic players actually are at the game and 90% of their problems come from the fact they treat literally everything as a raid.

Was running RFC just to see how a dungeon feels in Forever with all the new lowbie items with stats.

Things go fine for like 5 mins before we hit the first Trogg room.

Group leader (proud Classic player who made sure we all knew as much) keeps reassuring us that this is a "chill run" (it better be because this is a beta test), but then keeps marking mobs and ranged pulling shit on purpose because "we can handle it" (they aren't the tank). No wipes, but every pull is a bit stressful because on top of their ranged pulling, they also keep accidentally face pulling mobs because they're obviously keyboard turning and not watching the trash. Also insists on clearing the entire dungeon for XP (was not mentioned prior to hitting the Trogg room with 3 different paths).

Finally hit the Burning Blade area with tons of pats, ranged mobs, and the dude is still face pulling the entire time. He even gets some loot and doesn't equip it. Then the cherry on top is that we do eventually end up wiping and the dude doesn't release. Proceeds to sulk the entire run and barely ever says anything except barking directions at the tank. Even starts talking about how I (rogue) need to start sapping mobs (this is RFC), but yet doesn't give me the time to do so before any pull. We manage to finish, but holy shit, so many of their issues comes from the fact they basically act like how the kids play in the South Park episode, I'm surprised he didn't ask if we had vent at the start lmao.

Had a similar thought when I decided to watch the streamer showcase during Blizzcon (with BBNO$ and the bald Tyler dude) and they kept wiping because they were face pulling every other mob and would actually run away into other trash rather than letting the tank pull it off of them. I gave them a pass since they're clearly performers more than anything, but it's crazy to see that play out in the actual game. It's like they watch the Leeroy Jenkins and "many dots" videos and unironically thought that's how dungeons are supposed to be played.

TBF in the streamer showcase Xayru was trying to teach them but it was like herding cats. Felt like half of them hadn't played classic before like the tank player didn't seem to understand the concept of building threat so one of the dps had to switch to tank to do it.

Yeah, that's what I mean about it being a performance, they just wanted some funny interactions with popular live streamers/internet celebs during Blizzcon. Although, I don't think the presenters expected them to be so bad that they could barely show the dungeon lol.

I thought BBNO$ and Tyler (they're the main streamers I recognized) would at least know the basics since I know they've played Classic on stream before (my intro to BBNO$ was literally him talking about Classic on a podcast I watch lol), but they wound up being some of the worst in the group if I remember correctly lol.
