Guild Wars 2

If a path is indicated, how the kitten can “exp” become “exploration”?

And yes, reading seems to be kitten 90% of players using the LFG tool.

Adding “all welcome” is as likely to get an experienced group as any other tag I’ve seen. The only difference is that you are less likely to get some guy who has run the path twice rage quitting because of “n00bs” at a wipe.

Nope. You can kick people if they don’t respect the words that no one ever reads included in the LFG post. Kicking after you said “all welcome” means you’re a kitten.

I want to add a quiz when people hit join on my LFGs

^ This. The dead silence of ‘I-want-to-be-carried’, or ‘I-don’t-speak-English’.

Or I don’t care to answer. If you want to know if you need to explain the encounter, ask if anyone wants you to explain the encounter to them rather, “Have you don’t this before?”. The former lets them know you’re interested in teaching and including them, the latter often results in a kick from the group or being the first to be blamed when something goes wrong. If you want to know who hasn’t done it before so you can kick them, don’t be surprised if no-one wants to volunteer.

Reading LFG posts goes both ways. I frequently put up “AC Path 1” and have elitists join and complain when everyone isn’t following their strategy or have warriors join and complain about two rangers in the party or a staff elementalist. Another problem I have is when I don’t specify max level yet I have to recreate the lfg post several times because people join and then drop the party when they notice there are sub 80s in it (all my toons are 80 but I often run with sub 80s).

Be clear and precise on what you want in your lfgs. If you are joining someone else’s group, don’t expect them to have any requirements other than the ones stated. The world doesn’t default to how you want to do a dungeon.

Unless I’m doing arah I don’t bother with gear checks or wordy descriptions. It usually takes longer to find a perfect group than just doing it with a noob pug for me. Yeah, it feels real bad having to carry bads but I’m used to it so its not like its any extra effort. Then again my dungeon class is guardian so i can usually blind/aegis/dps my way through the content enough to carry all but the worst groups.

EXp mean SuperkalifragelisticEXPaligetiiishhhh!!!

….Oh Mary POPins

Some people do not understand english at all, or just look for a “exp” groups to babysit them to the good loot.

First, I make my own group. So I always expect everyone to at least communicate, and then cooperate.

Second, I care enough to ask “Have you done this path before?” or “Do you know the tactics here?” and I don’t mind explaining if there are new people. If someone doesn’t care to answer and proceed to screw up, a. I let the person explain and b. I kick. I have seen enough trolls who think ‘he’ is better than others and no need to drill basic knowledge into his tiny cave.’

Third, deafmutes always get the axe light-years faster than noobs. Don’t think being silent is cool. Nooooppeee.

Bonus, I don’t join casual run with my elitist ele. Second bonus, I expect the very same in my teaching run. Communication and cooperation.

XP = experience. Therefore XPd would mean experienced.
EXP = explorable as in path 3 of explorable mode.
