And the instance drama continues...

Alright, recently I've had a bit of a change of heart and kind of *want*
to do some instances now. I realize I'm missing out on some unique and
interesting areas if I don't see them at least once. But it seems no
matter what, I can't get away from what I hate most:

RFC: I had heard it was fairly linear, short, and easy. No problem. So I
use the LFM tool and end up with a group of four. One guy really sounds
like he knows what he's doing. He asks to join the group, he gets a
friend to fill out the fourth role, etc. So we start and things are
going good. I share the quests that I can (admittedly for mostly selfish
reasons, so they will want to do them too!) and we proceed. Well, no
sooner than we finish one of the quest objectives does this guy suddenly
throw out a "gtg". The rest of us decide to keep going, because really
it isn't that hard and we have a boss to kill. Well, when we get to that
boss another guy goes "I gtg after this boss". ::sigh:: As it turns
out, that was the last thing we all needed anyway, so maybe that's why
he decided to leave at that point, but still....

WC: Had 4 quests and someone shared another one with me. Before we enter
the instance, this group is so disorganized that we aren't even staying
together. They kill the guy who has the 99-year old port but I'm not
near it, so I can't loot it! Then there's talk of doing another quest
"on the way out"...Well, we go through and I get a couple quests done,
then out of nowhere someone gives the fantastic "gtg" (I mean really, we
didn't even finish the big quest that *all* of us were doing, including
him! the one about getting 4 gems...unless that's just a shaman quest?)
Well, once he says this, someone else also says "gtg" so that's pretty
much the end of that. Luckily one guy offered to help me do the port
quest on the way out, and then I stuck around (very carefully!) and
finished gathering serpentbloom on my own (well, with the help of some
other people clearing the way).

On the bright side, the warlock had stored my soul and we had a complete
wipe, so I waited for the mobs to leave and then I came back and res'ed
everyone. That was pretty amazing. I really love shamans. I think the
only thing we can't do is buff other party members (but of course our
totems are basically that)

Ah well, PUGs just aren't the greatest, and I guess I'll either have to
join a guild or just stop complaining....I still have a couple things to
do in WC. I'm sure people run through instances billions of times, but I
just really hate the thought of having to do it all again, and probably
having to help do all those same quests again for other people....
