Passive Aggressive Behavior

Seems like he thought he was helping with pulling more and assessed it wrongly. Perhaps a quick explanation of what was required would have been more productive than condemnation.

 

Quite possibly.  Let's remember the adage:  Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.  Sounds harsh, but you get the meaning.

Tolerance is needed as mistakes/confusion can happen. If it persists then remove them from the team. 

 

I have teamed with players who are quick to reply to posts like this and found them to be just as bad or worse.

This also makes me wonder what other "comments" were made.

The exact comment was "Not cool to pull mobs from behind while the group is already on a mob"

 

The individual did not apologize nor say my bad, as stated earlier.  He just wanted to escalate by using a passive aggressive stance saying "I'm ok with it" then using slurs against team members.

Characters being dropped to levels below what is zone-appropriate is bête noir. I can understand when it is not the League leader's fault, but a majority of times it has happened to me it is because the League leader isn't paying attention at all. If I am soloing "just fine" I decline league invites because I have lost count of the number of clueless "Giant Monster hunting teams" that will put a level 50 on a level 20 team. Minimally this makes zone travel a potential nightmare. As @Ironblade notes, this is almost certainly stupidity and not malice.

 

 

#1 Tip: League leaders should invite a new player's team to league, and then move the character to a team led by a level 50, or move other players to that (new) team. Once there are 6 teams on a league, they should all pretty much be led by level 50s... or the 6th team is the "holding pen" for new players. A level 50 can of course be moved to team 6 once there are 5 teams led by level 50s.
