I don't normally spend a lot of time in the forums and a friend of mine mentioned that my recent experience in this past Sunday's ship raid generated some comment so I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding on my part.
I confess: It was me.
I was running rogue when one of my SG mates mentioned that there was a ship raid underway and was looking for anyone that wanted to join a team - and I was happy to participate, since I haven't done a ship raid in a couple of years. RWZ was full by the time I got there so I didn't get into the zone until the shields went down and ended up on a pick up group, which was fine - I was just happy to finally get in and slog it out with the Rikti.
When the call went out to head for the grates I went with the rest of my team to the nearest one, set the bomb and rejoined the slugfest. I didn't catch anything in my chat window about assignments, there was a lot going by and I could have missed it. I knew something was up when all the angry tells came in about stealing (poaching, ripping off, etc...) my/a bomb. I asked my team leader if there were assigned grates and he said no, don't worry about it. I responded to the tells as best I could, explaining my error and apologizing. Some refused to accept my response. It was honest and for any replies I missed, I'll say it again: “I apologize for getting in the way of the organized event, it was unintentional and I was not there to poach. I'll be much more careful when joining a zone event in the future, finding out if there are any ground rules before diving into the fray.”
Special thanks to Evil Gulzow-Man for helping smooth over my bungling of the organized event by giving up your team's grate - Are you sure you're not really a Hero?
