Instance Etiquette

Be Prepared

Be prepared before going into an instance. Make sure you are stocked up on any bandages, potions, food/drink, reagents or ammunition that will be needed. It can be extremely annoying if your hunter runs out of arrows/bullets in the middle of the instance. Make sure you are prepared with anything that you might need before you begin.

Play Fair

If you come across a treasure chest while in a group, make everyone /roll for it. This will give everyone a fair chance at getting the items within. The /roll will automatically roll a random number between 1 and 100. The person with the highest roll will have first shot at what is in the chest.

Furthermore, do not loot items during battle. Wait until everyone is out of combat. The reason for this is so that if a item drops that needs to be rolled on, everyone will have a fair chance to roll on it. During combat, people may not be concentrating and hit greed on an item they actually needed.

There is no I in Team, and the Me will get you killed

One of the largest problems with most groups is the “scout syndrome”; otherwise known as the player who runs straight forward looking for shineys, only to come back to the party with some recently met “friends”. Remember to stay close to the party and keep in mind that there are others in the group who may not be ready (like me, the mage who never has enough mana!). If you do run off, it’s likely your group mates might not be impressed with you…

Planning is half the battle

Being in a group, be it Instance or Raid, will have its success based off the planning done within it. For the most part, running blindly in shooting off spells and engaging in combat will end badly. Remember to use the strengths of your party members and coordinate their abilities, be it the polymorph of the mage, or the directive that if everything goes sour that the priest jumps off the side of the boat into safety. Ignoring the plan will annoy your group mates and very likely get you killed, so be nice and stick with the plan.

Make Sure Everyone Finishes

Don't leave a group immediately when you finish the quest requirements that you need. Make sure that everyone in the group has finished as well. They helped you get yours, the least you can do is help them to finish up as well. If you absolutely have to leave then, make sure they know you're leaving and why before you go. Saying nothing can cause them to think that you only used them to get what you needed.

Share

If you have extra of something that someone might need, share it with your group members. Bandages are one example of a useful item that everyone can benefit from.

If you are able to buff someone, share the wealth. Buffs are useful and can help people in combat even after they have left your group. Also, if you have more than one buff, you may want to ask your group members which buff they would prefer you to use.

Don't Steal

Treasure chests and Gathering Nodes

Treasure chests and gathering nodes (plants, ore) are scattered throughout Azeroth and many are guarded by mobs. If you see someone fighting a mob near a chest or a mining or herb node, be kind. Most likely they are fighting their way through in order to get the node. Don't steal it while they are busy fighting. If you are unsure, wait until after they have finished killing the mob, then see if they go after the node. If not, then by all means, take it.

Likewise, if you are in an area where you need to kill certain mobs for a quest, and there are other people around doing the same quest, then be careful not to kill steal. Kill stealing is where a character will tag a mob (do the initial damage to a monster) so that when the mob is killed, they will get the credit for the kill. If you see someone else going for a mob, let them have it. The spawn rate in most areas is high enough that there should be enough mobs for everyone. And if all else fails, invite the other person into your group so that you both can share the kills.

Ninjas

If you are in a group and an item drops that requires a roll, do not roll need unless you actually need and can use the item. If you are just going to take it to sell, hit the greed button.
