worst VOG experience ever...
So I'm floating around the tower... Minding my own business, right? When I get spammed by some guys to join their game. I usually am pretty nice and will at least reply, if not just join. I decided to entertain them and join their group, knowing they were headed to normal mode VOG.
The nightmare begins. I can usually make a normal VOG run in about 30-45 minutes, this being reliant on the people with me having an idea what's going on and not screwing around.
We entered the vault, I clearly asked "everyone knows what they're doing in here right? If not let me know so I can help you out." I received an all around answer of "yes".
We had a 10 year old kid, 2 guys who apparently were mute, and a very angry redneck accompanying myself and a seasoned VOG friend.
We venture in and all hell breaks loose, every 5 seconds someone is dying. The kid in the group continues to play Rambo and not listen and repeatedly walks away from roles he should have had little trouble with (protecting constructs, etc.) two people obviously had never attempted the raid in any manor and would ignore simple advice. The angry redneck guy was cussing at everyone claiming he was far superior and made excuses that others were slacking and causing him to die (which would likely be true if it wasn't for the fact he had no tactical sense). It took us 40 minutes just to get to the gorgon maze. In the gorgon maze the kid ran ahead every time and either forced us to die by being caught or by leading inexperienced players directly to gorgons. The angry redneck started cussing at me for trying to get people on track. After [b]50 minutes[/b] in the gorgon maze we finally got clear.
Then the true nightmare happened... Have you ever fought Atheon with two people who refused to listen, kill the suicide harpies, pick up relics, tell you what planet/time they were in, or not shoot oracles at all? It was another 50 minute process.
[b]ON NORMAL[/b]
Levels were 30,29,29,29,28,27
Because of this I am apprehensive to join with random people now....
I did manage to score a "complete" raid set (original post edited due to trolls) for my already level 30 warlock though.

to many... 1. Posted looking for a fresh normal run got invited to a group telling me they are starting from the beginning just for it to start at confluxes and ignore me when i asked why we are starting here. Decided to not try and mess around after a couple wipes they start raging and bitching at me. The lvl 30 leading the group then proceeds to tell me im garbage at the game and have no idea how to do the raid and that hes an expert with his 30+ raid completions. I laughed and made them angry until they finally booted me. 2. Spending 4 hours with 3 separate groups trying to kill atheon post patch on hard first group being 3 29's, 1 28, and 2 30's including me. The 28 kept saying he could handle everything but kept going down almost all the time. Getting teleported was a nightmare every 29 was to scared to pick up the relic and kept saying we 30's were the ones that needed to do it. Yet even when we grabbed the relic they would fail at killing the oracles in time. Then when the 30's didn't get teleported they would either not even pick up the relic and fail or pick it up and die shortly after. Got to the point 2 of the 29's left saying we 30's were garbage and needed to learn how to use the relic so said f em and left. 2nd group was 4 29's and 2 30's the 29's kept bitching after every wipe and fighting between each other over what to do. Got to the point most of the group said they couldn't handle killing atheon and that it was to difficult so they all left. 3rd group was 3 30's and 3 29's yet again the 29's were to scared to pick up the relic and what do you know it teleported all 3 of them the majority of the time. Finally it teleported two 30's 3 times straight and we killed him. 3. Spending an hour helping a friend try to kill atheon on normal mode with over half the group being lvl 29. They kept playing like idiots and dieing over the stupidest things in the portal. 4. spending 2 hours trying to find a group to do a fresh hard mode run just to continuously get invited to groups looking for a 30 to help them get past gatekeepers and atheon. All the while telling me they are doing a fresh run before inviting me to the game and telling me oh well once we kill atheon we will do a fresh run i promise. Found a full 30 group shortly after did entire raid in 40 mins.
