Teamed with a PUG in Steel Canyon, the leader decides to do a "normal" mission and not just a random radio mission (i.e, one from a contact with an actual plot). It happens to be the Tsoo mission with the hacker, where you must first rescue him and then escort him to a computer to get some information.

Everything is going pretty well, there are a few deaths but we are making progress. We finally reach the hacker and rescue him, only for someone to escort him back to the entrance. I try to explain in team chat that we need to do take him to the computer(rest of the team remain silent), which is located on the map, however this guy ignores me and takes him down all the elevators and to the mission door. We then get a load of "???"'s in team chat while I try to explain again why the mission hasn't completed. After I explain, the guy says he is confused and quits the team, leaving the hacker on the bottom floor.

Eventually we do manage to get the hacker to the computer but I feel like im babysitting a team that has had Mass Confuse used on it.

After finishing a bank mission where I helpfully explained to someone how to get inside the bank (yes this person claimed he never could do bank missions), we travelled to IP for a bit of a change of scenery. We get the mission where we must go to Striga Isle. Of course most of the team have no clue how to get there and so I personally escort them to the boat.

Then we finally reach Ms. Peebles when the team starts to gather by the door to her left. "Aren't you going to click on her?" I said to the team lead, to which he replied "Everyone wait inside." Does the rest of the team challenge him? No, they attempt to run into the building behind Ms. Peebles. *Facepalm*. So I reiterate in caps that they need to speak to the contact.. but by then I had already given up hope on the team.


So, anyone else have any funny stories like this? I think its a real shame a lot of the population who probably live in the 1-30 bracket have such a simplistic time in this game. Isn't it about time we do away with the boring repeatable missions with no plot and instead open up all the contacts in this game (without having to be introduced to them) and show some of these players how great CoH/CoV really is.
