Why do Hunter do this.......Follow

I have a lvl 70 hunter and find it hard to get accepted on groups.

Why ?????

Because too many people who are hunters ninja loot.

I have just finished a Blood Furnace run on the Aszune server with my feral druid. The final boss goes down and a very good feral leather item drops. Being the only leather wearer in the group it was definately a need role for me.

You can now guess what happened next, the hunter need roles and wins it.

Why do so many people try so hard to make the game hard for us hunters who play it fair. So I sit outside groups, or if I get in get told not to need role on other peoples drops etc.

I know you all have heard it before, and now I am faced with having to run the instance again with the slim chance that the item will drop.

Well now I have had my gripe I feel better, but next time i'm in a group who he gates into, shall I tell them he is a ninga, hell yes :)

Did you look at the hunter's gear? Perhaps he could have actually used the item. Just because it's leather doesn't mean it's exclusively rogue or feral druid. Personally I don't use leather, but I know some hunters who like to get a bit of extra DPS from leather at the cost of armor.

Being a hunter, you should understand and you shouldn't go around accusing people of being a ninja when you just simply lost a roll.

P.S. L2Spell/grammar

Edit: To hold myself to my own grammatical standards.

QFT

The only two leather items I see in BF are Vest of Vengeance and Mantle of the Dusk Dweller

Both are very good pieces for a hunter, aside from the low armor of leather, they offer high agility, a good bit of hit rating, and good attack power. All stats important to a hunter, just as equally important to a rogue and feral druid.

Would you get upset at a holy paladin rolling need on a cloth item that has +healing simply because he can wear plate? Can wear does not mean should wear. Hunters shouldn't be taking hits in instances so they don't need to wear mail. Leather armor with better stats is just as much an upgrade as mail armor.

You got upset you lost a roll, understandable. I was upset on my tanking warrior when I lost Legplates of the Bold to a ret paladin. I got over it quickly. I didn't call him a ninja(even though that warranted more of a ninja comment than your example), and I don't think it's right for you to do either in this case.

no, you are just whining.

I have never, and i mean never, been denied a spot in a group because other hunters are ninja's.
And i dont belief its anywhere near as common to see that as some people say.














oh and i have 5k+ posts, you have 7. i am right, you are wrong >:)
even if i say that 1+1=17939729, i am still more right then you.

RAWR!

Ooh, easy now tiger.

YoYoKatz:

Dude, relax. Aethien is completely correct. As is Synntastic. Continuing to push this argument you espouse against both of them just makes you appear more foolish. They are both long time and well respected members of Alla and the Hunter Forums especially.

I realize that you feel you have a "good handle" on why hunters aren't invited to PUG's. Simply put though: you're mistaken. Perhaps on some servers there are ninja hunters but I think I've run into ONE in the over two years I've been playing this game. Ninja looters traditionally tend to be melee classes as hunters are too far BACK from the kills to effectively ninja loot. When a melee class (Warrior, Rogue, Druid, Paladin [rare ninja in the pally class though- concept conflict!]) drops a target, they can immediately loot them if it's their turn or there is something for anyone. Ninja'ing stuff is on the downside because more aware group leaders can deal with ninjas.

I have no problem getting invites to PUGs. When they ask for "DPS" go ahead and put in your 2 cents to join. If they want a Lock or a Mage, they will tend to ask for it. If they just want any DPS, they will ask for that. I see requests for Hunters all the time.

The best way to defeat the Huntards is NOT to be one. Play smart, learn the class and do the best you can. That's all anyone can ask. Hunters are HARD to play correctly, possibly the hardest class to play right. The problem is, it's a good and versatile class so it can be effective played wrong or in a mediocre fashion. Huntardness shows up really under stress: Instances, BG's and RAID's. That's where the bad rep comes from. Just soloing is easy. Being a real hunter is HARD.

QFT I was just going to say this but you already have.

Oh, and Aethien... I rated you up, purely for the "RAWR!"

ouch nasty tigerbite there Aethien (sorry just had to do it)

As for the ninjas i havent acually seen that much of it myself, but 2 times i remeber was acually pallies :P

And to post a "all hunters are morons" thread on a hunter forum without expecting some comebacks seems abit naive. Especially since the hunter might have been well within his rights in this peticular situation.

but feel free to dwell on it if it makes you feel any better.

im known as probably one of the best geared hunters for my level on my server and whenever i'm in a group i...


1) always ask before needing
2) check stats for items and see if its worth it
3) bring extra food incase of anotehr dumb hunter who doesn't bring food
4) bring full quiver for again, more dumb hunters
5) I try to be polite unless after the 10th wipe, then i start to get pissed off >.<

Maybe he's a dumbass

Anybody else smell a new Post cereal line stemming out of this?

/agree with Aethien.
I have never gotten a bad reaction when i have joined a grouup because i am a hunter, and i am a Nelf to boot!
maybe you should switch servers or something if it is that bad...
