People not buffing in dungeons?

I know it's a minor thing, but at level 36 I've noticed more people than not - won't buff you in dungeon groups.

Today in SM I asked our priest half way through the run "Why no fort buff" He said "Because it cost XXX mana"
I nicely explained to him that's why it's best for the 30 min buffer-classes to buff right at the beginning, drink your way back to full mana, then carry on. That fort buff can be the difference between living and wiping. - he didn't say a word in response.

Same goes for mage food/water. It cost them nothing, yet people have to beg for it. Back when I played, players were happy to help without having to be asked. I'm a lock. The first thing I do when we get in the instance is ask if anyone would like a healthstone.

Btw priest, my soulstone cost a lot more mana than your fort buff, but you never had to ask me for it.

Just a few pet peeves of mine. Maybe I just have bad luck in groups. But their logic, or lack-there-of just doesn't make sense to me.

The problem with leveling currently is that everybody leveling is either A) a decent/good veteran who just discovered the server; B) an alt; or C) a 5th wave player, with the majority being C.

I think you're right. Hopefully with a little encouragement they catch on.

As a side note, running 5 mans as an Affliction warlock is awful when you're playing with stupid people, especially when one of the other DPS is a Shadow priest. So far, I've had a rogue using Deadly Poison and sometimes Rupture, a warrior tank who refused to stop using Rend, and shaman healers throwing in random Shocks.

I agree.

A rogue in strath live was attacking the sheep because it was a caster, and not wearing mail gear

People are stupid, lazy, selfish, and stubborn, more at 11.
