Worst performance you've ever seen in a Heroic

It makes for a better story.
If you made a thread about good players it could pretty much be 20 pages of 'I zoned into a heroic' followed by the everything went better than expected rage face panel.

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with how bad other players are. How many threads do WoW players need about bad players?
People remember the bad things better than the good things.
Combine that with the fact that people like to complain.
Add a little bit of John Gabriel's theory (Normal person + anonimity + audience = ****wad).
And you have a recipe for a new thread.

The other day I had a Frost DK wielding an agility polearm and 41 points in the Frost tree doing 4k DPS in Hour of Twilight. I cried a little bit after that.

Bad players happen. They suck as we all sucked in some point, and they only need a bit of help and kindness to learn their class / fight / whatever and become average or good players.
Then you have fail players. Fail players are hilarious!
Some days ago Mr. Bf got a DPS warrior with an agi staff (idk the spec, but an agi staff is still VERY far away from a str sword / axe). When asked why was he using it, he answered "because warriors can use staves". Amazing :P

Recently. A DPSer pulling less DPS than you did in Wrath in full blues who then proceeds to roll Need on Veil of Lies and wins it. The party keeps telling him to hand the trinket over to the tank (me) but he blatantly refuses. Says it's for his off-spec.
/rage
This is why I want role-bonus rolls in heroic dungeons as well. It's the fourth time I've lost the roll to some asshat.
Reminds me of the time when I was doing Stratholme on my horde alt. Lock in the group summons a stone and tells us to summon her after a short time. She ported out before I could her the little thing about stones and LFD dungeons...
As in, lock stones DON'T work in LFD dungeons. So of course we couldn't summon her and we told her why. She kept ASKING WHY WE COULDN'T SUMMON HER despite us telling her multiple times WHY. Either she had selective reading or she was just stupid. Anyways, she then said it was our fault as WE were clearly too stupid to understand how a lock stone worked and started to cuss us out. I slapped an ignore on her as I wanted to preserve my brain cells.

So this isn't a heroic and this happened a long time ago but me and my friends were talking about worst players we've ever encountered and i thought i'd share it here too for kicks.
This is back during vanilla about a shaman named trollsham i'm leading a molten core raid and we've been attempting ragnaros for about a week or 2. I set the shaman as the healer to keep the hunters alive which is actually only 4 of us and the shaman get's the prime spot to not get knocked back while me and the other 3 hunters take the crappy spots. If you don't know...rag did a really nasty targetted aoe that knocked back players in a 10yd radius around you. So we would get knocked into the lava periodically and his job was just to heal us, also i'll add that my group of hunters had the highest fire resist of anyone in our guild and we took almost no damage. part way into the fight we start dying due to no heals and it doesn't take long to notice the lightning bolts flying past my head from the shaman.
A few months later we start doing Black Wing Lair. For those of you that never had to do this monstrosity of a fight. Part of the fight requires mobs being kited around the room by 4 warriors and 4 hunters. In order to make this easier i assigned 4 shamans to just stand in one spot doing nothing but dropping earthbind totem. No healing, no nothing...just drop the totem and stand there and look pretty. not even 30seconds into the fight the shaman dies due to healing agro. This happened over and over again no matter how much i emphasized that all he had to do was stand there and drop his totems. Sadly, i had no other shamans online and was forced to work with him >_>.
How the hell do you go from being the retard that does dps when your supposed to be healing, to healing when your supposed to be doing nothing.
edit: Also, in reply to "why no one talks about good performances" i remember many of the good players i've seen and sometimes add them to my friends list if their on the same server. However, posting about a good performance would probably not be as interesting since most of them would say. "This person did everything he was supposed to do."

Had a Disc priest in pvp gear in end time today. Using the smite spec. His way of healing was to spam smite on the boss.... that is literally all he did... when I mentioned that smite healing doesn't work in heroics he pointed out my single blue trinket and said I was just undergeared and that's why it wasn't working. Nevermind the fact that I have full 378-390 in every other slot....
barring the occasional shield and POM, all i really do in hcs is smite/holy fire spam..... it does work in hcs, and i can only assume he didnt have glyph of divine accuracy (makes sure HF/smite never miss) and glyph of smite (20% extra dmg, and thus healing on targets affected by HF)

smite healing works just fine in heroics as long as you do it correctly.

This was not a heroic, it was a normal RFC, the first dungeon you get into at lvl 15.
I was taking my friend (RAF) into a dungeon for the first time, hoping he would get a nice first impression. However, that was not the case. At all. We got a feral druid who did not know how to talk, and he was in cat form. He was our tank by the way. We told him to use bear form but he didn't listen. I had one hell of a hard time healing that group!
And then we had 2 gnomes who RAF'ed as well and they were complete &*!@#$%s. Ugh, dat group. DAT GROUP.

1.) this was like june/july 2010 when i got back playing since vanilla (dail-up long story) but i forgot everything and was leveling my warrior and
Hydrocane
dropped from Gnomeregan the only thing i saw was "Equip:allows underwater breathing" so i need quit after i got it and leveled about 10 levels but the bad part was i doing top dps with the staff :/
2.)When my wife got to Wrath on RaF with our two gnome mages a healer (ret pally) complained that the gnomes where taking too much damage and not doing any dps so i posted recount showing that we are doing about 60% damage and kept pulling aggro with two spells, 30 minutes later still same dungeon healer complained to my wife saying she ninja'd something and she said "im sorry i hit need by accident" healer flipped and i said "look do your job and lets finish this dungeon and you will never have to see us again" healer kicked and the reason was "Gnomes are G*y"

Why are players so consumed by other bad players? If you're not willing to group with them and tolerate them, don't do randoms.
Besides, I bet a fair share of those bad players may have far more successful real lives than the people criticizing them. Maybe they ought to be calling out the L33Ts who spend far too much time QQing about them. I have 3 college degrees and a wonderful family and home, what you got brah? Ujellybro?
Real life > WoW in case anyone was confused.

1) A place to vent. Already covered.
2) Group therapy (aka misery loves company). It's nice to know when you have a miserable experience, you can share it with others that have other similar experiences.
3) Entertainment value. I never ceases to amaze or amuse me the crazy behavior exhibited by bad players. Some of the stories in this thread, the "Worst reason to get kicked.... " thread and others like it are really funny (if not disturbing) to me.

Boomkin doing 8k dps, in Well of Eterninty. With 100% crit buff present.
When pointed out, told me to get off him. Than he claimed he lags. I checked his damage breakdown (aoe on 2-3 targets) + wrath spam on 1 target. I told him its not that he laggs, he just uses wrong spells. He claimed that he knows how to play, he just chooses not to to piss me off.
I try to stop combat to kick him, but instead i get kicked (in combat) - i am tank.
I am not doing this for any points, i am not doing this for any gear, i am not doing this to be an !@#$%^&. I just want to have fun and you sir and all other (gogogo) idiots spoil it for me.
BTW, anyone knows a nice coop vs AI game (or multi pvp with low learning curve) where !@#$%^s like this dont spoil the fun so much? Or should i keep playing wow just remove dps meters, pull asap (so gogogo guys get satisfied) and say nothing on chat (so nobody gets the criticque)? Best exp i had so far was UT:99 Monster Hunt, but may have trouble installing it on 64 bit system (most of my old game dont work).
