That's crazy. Since I got my water tome right away, I've never had to worry about being berated like that, but I always pop a table in AV, or, well, I even do it in WSG, hell, it doesn't cost me much NOW. But, really, I have to remind PUGs, hey, guys, table! And even have to remind them at the end of the run that I'm a mage, and can port. Most times they'll start hearthing and I'm like wait wait, where do you wanna go? lol. I guess most em em have hearths in Shatt nowdays, but most of the time, as soon as I do that, at least 2 folks are like ohhh right, yay mage, port me to <whatever>, plz.
But if I'd gotten responses like that, and not been able to get the tome? Hah. Dancing naked in the middle of THAT battlefield, oh yeah.
