Yeah yeah. I know. I brought it on myself. But I was off sick yesterday and EvilBastard was 12% into level 69 so I fIgured that I would put myself into LFG for Durnholde (in preparation for BM) and Shadow Lab for Karazhan attunement quests and then go questing in Blades Edge Mountains.
2 quests handed in, another nearly done and 14% into 69 and I get an invite to Durnholde. Off we pop, seems like a competent group. We set fire to some huts and get into the keep. The leader and someone else rushes down into the basement and starts the escort before anyone else even gets down the stairs.
Once outside the leader says to let Thrall die because someone didn't pick up the quest. Thrall dies, they rush back inside and down the stairs. This time I manage to get down the stairs and see the Yellow ? for a split second before they start the escort again. I say that I haven't got the quest but they say it doesn't matter (well they said it after about 5 minutes and we were nearly at Tarren Mill). It's been a long long time since I did this quest on HolyWarrior but I am sure it does matter. The quest text says speak to Thrall when you have burnt the buildings. So I alt-tab to Thottbot and lo and behold "Hand quest into Thrall" who gives you "Escape from Durnhole"
I tell the group this but only one person says he will go again. Now, what I should have done was either sit down and watch or simply leave the group, but I am too nice for that so I help them finish the quest. And shock horror, they don't appreciate it or even say thanks to everyone and definitely ain't gonna run it again.
Arseholes. I would name an shame, but that would give away what server I was on!!!
At least I have the complete on the first quest so hopefully I can just get a guild run to just to the escort. We'll see!

Before lvl 70 some those PuGs can be like that. I remember my very first Durnhold run an all Melee group that all thought they were badass. 2-3 tries on Epoch and they all call it quits because the dps warrior the group leader wanted to tank in the all melee group.
Sadly we failed and the group fell apart and they all hearted out of CoT. I sat there on my charger staring at Epoch from a distance with anger more so from the dismal PuG group I had and trying to learn from my failure. It didn't seem to mean much to anyone looking if they were looking. But to me that failure was epic to me and was a turning point. I vowed never again was that going to happen as well as being a tank in the group and not being the leader as well as having an all melee group. It was my first run in CoT, I didn't know the instance. Yet that failure thought me so much more than success could of thought me there.
I've had my own issues with AFKs in instances and raids as well as you know. They waste everyone committed time and is inconsiderate to others for extended period of time and when it happen often. I can't think of a single run in my tanking career that I've been afk as the tank for longer that 30 sec and that has only happened maybe once. I always take care of anything I need before the run starts.
