Etiquette in dungeons is something that I try to uphold as much as possible. I am by far not 100% nice 100% of the time but I try my best. I join in in conversations when I have something important to say. I help struggling healers and tanks by explaining fights a little bit better. And I help other DPS if I know their class and suggest gearing stats or rotation help if they ask for it.
Tonight, I encountered something that I have never encountered before.
Backstory: I finally reach my item level 329 and was able to Queque for my very first Heroic on my hunter. I waited around beside Amberpine Lodge awaiting the dismal spawn rate of Arcturias the Spirit Bear to reset for about twenty minutes for my DPS que to pop. And it did. I was excited and was transported off into the Stonecore. I groaned at the possibility of my first CC Dungeon to be hellish Stonecore and was pleasentaly surprised to find that all of the trash up to Corborus was already killed and a few of the players were doing a corpse run. So I put two and two together and assumed they had wiped on Corborus and a dps was either removed or dropped group.
So we killed Coborus in one shot and the tank and healer dropped the group. A few seconds later a DPS spontaneously DCed. So we kicked him and the Paladin and I decided to Que. We both left the dungeon so I could continue to stalk the spirit beast and he was apparently questing out in Winterspring somewhere. After about 3 minutes we received 3 new group members. I attempted to return the dungeon and it gave me an error message. You are already Locked to Stonecore (5 Man (Heroic)). Very confused I attempted to figure what was wrong.
The entire time I was attempting to figure things out I had a really obnoxious asking me "Where the fuck I was? Why was I making them wait?" and complaining that I was being selfish by holding the group up. I attempted to explain that I was not able to enter the dungeon. The Paladin that was with me earlier was having the same problem as I was. Eventually the tank and myself got into an arugement and I said "You know what, you just got here, we have been trying to do this dungeon for about 20 minutes with people who bailed after the first boss." And he retorted along the lines of "You haven't been in our group. You're making us all wait here and we're one boss from finishing."
I blinked. Myself and the Paladin had gotten grouped with a different dungeon group, in the same dungeon as us, but on different boss progression so we were on separate locks. As I was attempting to explain the situation the mage retorted to spewing profanities and I was removed from the group.
So I guess, I'm trying to say that you when you decide to PuG and not run strictly with a set group of people you need to be at least midly respectful to them. We were in a situation where we were unable to enter the dungeon and were trying our hardest to get back and having someone calling us "Selfish Jew Pigs" and "Faggots" was not especially helpful. There ARE people at the end of every avatar that you see and MOST of them have feelings and are not out there trying to make your game play as extremely difficult as they possibly can.
In conclusion, I opened a ticket for the situation. I kept the players attitude out of the ticket and just let Blizzard know that something went wrong with their Dungeon Finder Tool. I have been using it for over a year and have never heard of anything like what I experienced and with the issues Patch 4.0.6 brought to Race Changed Worgens and Goblins I wanted to let them know about this minor bug. The GM was very nice and assured me that the issue would be forewarded and had a good laugh when I jokingly asked her to reset the Spirit Beasts spawn timer so I could go do something else when they asked me "If there was anything else they could do for me today".
