Be me, in your first time in a new dungeon, and only your second time ever healing a 5-man in this particular game, despite being a long time player of a very similar game.
Be courteous to your group by telling them about these two pertinent facts *the very moment* you spawn into the dungeon, as the tank proceeds to pull every mob within sight of your spawn point before you're even finished typing.
Be caught off guard and let the tank die, but battle rez the tank, and finish the fight.
Ignore the support class(who died too) who suggests you should switch to a DPS role, and let them heal.
Click ready during the next three ready checks the group leader triggers, at various points.
Be a little bit irked when the group leaves you behind to proceed into the next area as you pause for approximately 10 seconds to look at a piece of gear, because you're not sure where they went.
Tell them you're lost, as they go ahead and engage the next major group of enemies and a boss without bothering with a ready check, or even noticing you're not there.
Find the way they went before they answer, but find yourself stuck behind a barrier, because they've obviously engaged a boss.
Let them know you're stuck behind a boss barrier, again just trying to be courteous.
Be told it's not a boss barrier, but rather a noob barrier, while other members of the group laugh about how witty the comment was.
Finish the dungeon while trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for groups in this game you're suddenly not sure you want to keep playing.
/facepalm
In all seriousness, is this a standard reaction to new players in this game? How would you react, if confronted with the same situation from my group mates' point of view? If you're a tank, are you in the habit of making a massive pull in dungeons before even so much as a hello?
