It also makes me lag when I am using it to form a group. The solution to the problem I've found without having to turn the addon off is as follows.

#1.) Open OQ.
#2.) Go to the "Setup" tab on the bottom.
#3.) Fourth from the bottom on the right, click the check mark off for "Auto join oqgeneral channel."

Once that's clicked, the game immedietely goes back up in FPS.

Note: If this is clicked off, you will not be able to see any of the raids, bg's, arena's etc until it's clicked back on. If you're ready to start looking again, repeat the steps above, and click it back on. The lag will resume, but you can see the groups and be able to form your own groups (if it's clicked off, your wait list will not fill), or join others.

Cwicked,

I regularly do lead my own groups. My win/lose ratio on OQ is fairly high because of it too. Having three toons that are fairly well geared and having to "lead" three different runs a week and maintain a life with a relationship isn't really on par with reality. It's a lot easier to just que up in a fresh run and go as far as the group is able.

As I mentioned to the other gentleman, I did not come here with the intention of complaining. I was seeking a way in which to have those who choose to abuse this addon to be penalized for it, or at least be flagged so that the next person who wants to join has some form of forewarning. I got my answer by the blacklisting them.

I appreciate your input, but unfortunately I'm going to have to continue to take my chances with the kids that are out of school for the summer each week till they go back. Thankfully, I'll be able to mitigate the jackasses that pull this crap until I can find something a little more stable group wise.

Cheers,
M.

Shovel,

I'm not trying to come across as an ass in saying this, but have you ever been kicked or left a group within the first couple bosses and then have to spend x amount of time trying to find another group that's at that particular boss? And then, when you find a group for that boss, chances are it's an undergeared group that is going to wipe consistently. The point is that it's a huge headache. I tried reforming my own group and sat in Open Raid, and OQ watching the wait list for over 2 hours between homework and food, only 3 people qued up. It's not easy to just up and find another group without having to skip bosses that may contain loot/valor. I'm not here to complain about the fact I was kicked, I came with the intent to try and find a way to address the problem of people wasting people's save, or a way to indicate that said individual has a tendency of doing that. I found the answer with the blacklisted bit, but that's not going to save the next person. Either way, my problem is somewhat solved.

Cheers,
M.

Thank you, wasn't aware of the log bit. Will make use of it from now on.

You won't be saved until a boss is downed Tiny, what's happened is in the first instance the individual was prioritizing loot to a 542 warrior that was ungemmed/unenchanted. Doing a loot countdown before distributing, a warforged ring dropped and before it got passed out he kicked the only other plate dps in the group (that happened to be from my server), who then pm'ed me asking why he was removed. On the same boss, a tank trinket dropped that neither tank needed, he auto looted it to the warrior after he put roll without clarifying MS or OS, after the following boss I asked him why he didn't do a countdown for it and why was he randomly passing loot to the warrior without giving anyone else a shot. I was immeditely booted from the group, thus my save being screwed at the 3rd boss.

The second time was yesterday, I join a group, wait 30 minutes till they finally pull ... boss dies, wait another 15-20 minutes while they figure out loot with some addon, comes to an item that fits the spec I use and boom, kicked out of the group without warning.

I apologize for the long winded examples, but giving you a general idea of why I'm even bothering to post here. I'm sure others can and will understand my frustrations in this matter.

Again, I appreciate the feedback and will apply the log button method for that.

Regards,
M.

People abusing OQ and wasting people's saves.

I understand it's a risk that we take in joining someone's raid, but isn't there a way to mark someone's karma down for wasting someone's save (after you've been kicked)? This is the second week in a row I've gotten into a raid and been removed. The first time was for calling someone out for prioritizing loot to someone he was selling a run to, the second was without a reason. Thus my save for the week has been screwed, thanks to some inconsiderate individual. I understand your first thoughts are going to be that I'm not geared or the like, but that's not the case. I'm 572 on two different toons, and 563 on the last. I know how to play my classes, and just find this frustrating. Would be nice to be able to mark down their karma or something to give the next person an indicator that that individual is at a high risk of screwing them.

Rant done, I understand y'all are busy and really appreciate allowing the use of this addon to the general masses. If it's not plausible or possible, so be it. Just sucks.

Thanks for your time,
M.
