I agree with all that is being said here, and it is nice working with each other...
BUT - we need to remember all the little guys as well
I turned up to a boss where a small group was getting ready to attack, and they grouped me to help them.
One third the way through, some others (members of one of the so called 'big 4') ran up and grouped me as well, so one nice group
But the new guys asked me to regroup with them, which I refused, saying that the other guys were here first, and that they should group with us, or leave the kill.
Of course, this was then ignored and they kill stole the boss.
Granted, it was going to take a while for the first group to kill, but they would have got there. I was apologised to, but they didnt even think to acknowledge the original guys that were there first - and even killing the boss first
Remember - its one thing for all of us longer term players to start getting along, but we need to think of the guys coming through behind us as well. Perhaps the leaders of the 'big 4' could do well to advise the clannies that they need to be mindful of all players, not justy the other major clans.
(rant over) - See you in the game!
