I was in a Zul'gurub pug earlier today. When I joined in they had already started and were almost to the first boss. We go to kill the mob that stands by the cauldron out front of the snake boss area and our healer (priest) runs inside the boss area and pulls the two snakes that are in there. The Priest then runs out past the group and starts heading to the entrance. As she does this she uses the priest ability that drops aggro and the two snakes come back to the group and start attacking people. Without heals the group starts getting killed off and I feign death. Everything resets and I do a mass rez. As soon as people pop back up, the Priest comes through and aggros everything again and runs off, leaving the mobs once again to attack the group. This went on for a good 10 minutes. We couldn't kick her because she kept herself and us in combat. None of us wanted to drop group because we would get the deserter debuf. I could of course avoid the deaths by feigning death. Eventually we got a "kick from group" through and she was removed. Everyone in the group did an ticket to the gamemaster. I got a generic response from it.
Wow that is some dedicated ass-hattery, usually a person will do that and just bail, but you have to admire the persistence lol (totally kidding Tak!), that is frustrating, and having studied behavior and psychology now for years, I still cannot explain or comprehend the actions of people in this game we all enjoy, it is mind boggling!
What Drach said.
That there are people who will actively pursue the ruination of 4 other people's time & fun will never make any sense, but apparently they're in WoW to stay. It's like reading /trade or the forums and seeing people bragging about being banned and just making another toon or account or whatever. I have stopped asking why. Sorry you had to deal with that Tak!
Here is another example I have, although its questionable if this falls into the same category.
After almost every Tol Barad match that the Horde wins there is an Alliance Rogue that follows around the quest npc, Problim and attacks any flagged Horde that engage the npc. It is a rather skilled/geared Rogue and is proving quite difficult to deal with. I cannot handle him one on one, every time I have it has not ended well for me. He is rather skilled at locking me down or running when it isn't looking good for him and then coming back to hit me again when its in his favor again. While I admire his skill at his class, I question that he waits to ambush people while they are engaging a quest npc. Add to this that he gloats about it with emotes and yells of "you lose" when he takes someone down.
Maybe he just had a bad day at school! Kept in a recess or scab duty at lunch. Poor widdle fella.
Nah, he's a prick!
Cheers

Reason #4,372 that I quit running heroics in Cata.
Well, that certainly beats the warrior that ran with us for two RDFs, then long before hitting the first boss on the second run leaves the party without warning--exactly after he leveled up. =/
