There's a great article over at Warcry about hunter's and increasing their DPS since Burning Crusade's release. It leads to a very detailed forum post that explains how to use shot rotation to totally maximize your DPS. If you go to check it out, make sure you've got some time because I'm not kidding when I said it is detailed.
The article also goes on to discuss knowing how to play your class, which is what I want to talk about today. It has happened to anyone that plays WoW for more than a week. You've grouped with someone that just doesn't know how to play their class. You've met the priest that is too distracted to heal, the tank that can't hold aggro, and the nuker that can't control their aggro.
When I play anMMORPG I make it a point of pride to be able to play my chosen class well. The way I look at it, people will always remember a guy that has no idea how to play his class. But they'll also remember the person that plays with skill and an understanding of their class. The bonus is that I rarely have trouble finding a group, because people I've grouped with before are always glad to have me join them again.
I think that a lot of people take the social part of an MMORPG for granted. They figure since they pay their monthly fee, they are entitled to play any way that they want. I think that's true up to a point. I really don't care what tactics or strategies you use as long as they don't negatively impact me or my playing.
The problem comes when people join groups with this attitude. Now you're directly affecting the play experience of other people that paid the same amount of money as you and are also spending their (most likely) limited leisure time playing a game. If you join a group and can't play your class, you're just wasting several people's time and money.
Of course, this doesn't apply to people in the lower levels. The whole point of the low levels is to learn to play the class properly. Some people don't learn the lessons properly and some people just buy their accounts on ebay, so neither of these two groups are assets to a group. But I think the majority of people know what they're doing and are a joy to adventure with.
So really, just keep in mind that this is very much a social game and your actions can impact other people. And really, you do get out of it what you put into it. Play well and the game will be much more fun in the long run.
