Group Finder Finding Jerks

Had a tank join that couldn't grasp the concept that, even though we weren't 50 and he was, we actually knew how to play the game. He would tell the healer to heal him (ofcourse master of the obvious) before he charged away. He would only focus on one mob, allowing every other mob to join the gangrape on said healer and the dps (tried to get them off the healer, but being squishy...). Anyway, in the end I checked his gear and, what do ya know, full pvp gear and no fricking shield either. Direct Vote-Kick for me there.

In general: If you sign for a role in a group finder, then have the *********** gear and specc to fulfill that role. I can take people not knowing tactics, I can take people not being the best, I can also take people not having perfect speccs (however if you sign as a tank you should be focused on the tanking specc in your AC trees), all these can be amended or worked around. But if your a moron and aren't even using items in some slots then its byebye, get gear, get the correct gear, get it in all the slots you can fill.

Having a few pieces of pvp gear on is ok, if you're just starting out. I get a little bit nervous as a healer when they are in full pvp. It suggests (in my mind) that, say for example, a tank doesn't really have any experience tanking HM FP's.

If you had to report 4 or 5 people, then maybe it's not them...

I haven't used the group finder alot yet but, When I do use it the results are fairly good. Most people I find are decent enough and most of the time respectable. However, last night I was playing Hammer Station using groupfinder and everything was fine and we were at the about to fight the Mechanical Spider ( I was the Tank) then, without any reason at all the entire group voted to kick-me!. I didn't understand at all and when I tried to ask them WHAT THE HELL THEY DID THAT FOR , THEY IGNORED ME. WHAT-THE-F
RESPECT THE EMPIRE!!!

You're ignoring the fact that all of the bad behavior described in this thread existed in MMO's long before WoW developed its x-server tool and it existed in this game long before the current same server tool. In fact, I've seen more of this type of behavior in the general chat spam groups then I've seen since the group finder came out (and people claim self policing on same server prevents this type of behavior...LMAO!). Were there bad groups in WoW? Yes, but most were good. I can say the same of the same server groups too. If you have a problem with the tool, simply don't use it and only group with firends...problem solved.

When I use group finders in MMOs, I generally have very positive experiences.
It's posts like this by Caelrie that make me wish we had a thumbs-up button to click on.

No. This game is like WoW in that there are basically cookie cutter builds that work. Mish-mash hybrids that you facerolled your keyboard to come up with are not viable. Sorry.

Whilst that's broadly true, there is some wiggle room, more for some classes / roles than others. As long as someone's put the vast majority of their points into a single skill tree instead of some absurd hybrid (which only works at lower levels and becomes completely unviable about level 35-40) I don't have a problem with it. For example, my Sorcerer healer has 3 skills in Corruption I haven't put points into because I found I don't use the relevant abilities in combat; better to put those points into other trees for stat buffs instead.
