Comments on: Dear Matt, I Have a Huntard Problem http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2008/06/07/dear-matt-i-have-a-huntard-problem/ Practical advice for World of Warcraft healers and leaders Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:13:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sydera http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2008/06/07/dear-matt-i-have-a-huntard-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-9386 Sydera Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:54:00 +0000 http://www.worldofmatticus.com/2008/06/07/dear-matt-i-have-a-huntard-problem/#comment-9386 I've dealt with this very problem for a long time in my guild. Make sure he knows exactly what he needs to do to improve himself. If he continues to be argumentative and belligerent, no more raid invites. He may get huffy and leave the guild. This an acceptable, even desirable, result. Don't invite him back! For a guild running Kara, it's hard to kick someone because he's a bad player. My raiding guild won't kick someone just because they don't play well. That even goes for initiates--we've never yet said goodbye to anyone with a good attitude who was actively trying to improve, regardless of meter performance. However, we'll kick them for lying, no showing, or being an asshat, though. This guy's behavior sounds very immature--if you do go the gkick route, make sure your members know that it's for attitude.

If this guy's damage sucks, he's going to be way down the WWS damage list, and then it's nothing personal. It's just math. If he doesn't want to change, and his damage remains terrible, gkick him.

Great advice Wyn, which I saw implemented very effectively tonight. If raiders aren't willing to listen (at all) to the officers in a raid, then they should question whether it really is the guild for them, and vice versa. Besides, hunters really need to prune out those annoying creatures who give them a bad name! Hahaha, MD… the hunter answer to all woes.
