This, situation, happens at least once a week for me.
Put up LFM, people join, zerg through 2mil exp or whatever in a few hours. Done, log off, log on next day.
Random person you did not even know before that joined said group: "Hey are you running anything?", every day after that group.
So as always, I reply the usual after I get annoyed: "If I'm running anything, I will have a group up, if I don't, I'm soloing. Stop sending me random tells asking for that, I don't even know you".
And then the usual reaction is along the lines of "wow wtf, don't worry I won't ask again, jerk".
Do people somehow think you magically become their friends because you grouped with them once, when all they ever said in group was "what's next"? Or do they think I'm some kind of whore they can just call to get free and fast exp? Or are they just clingy fucks that get offended when I tell them they're annoying?
Or am I really a jerk?
You seem like you're smart and funny, but also like you could be a HUGE prick and that looks down on everyone because you're really insecure and just want be good enough.
I also might be any/all/none of those things, but I've NEVER abandoned a pug, I waste hours helping strangers in this game I don't know, even when they're fucking hopeless.
Why? Because I want more people to play with who are as good as me. The only way that ever happens, is by offering to teach those who don't know. That's it. When you teach someone something in this game, it gets better for EVERYONE. When you're a prick, it gets worse for everyone.
I'd trade 10 nice newbs who are good to other people and willing to learn for 1 awesome-sauce player who is an asshole, EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK.
