Charlisse of the Defias Brotherhood server had a bad run in with a priest in a 5 man pickup group. When the group wiped, Charlisse and the priest ran back from the graveyard, but other group members didn't release and demanded to be rezzed. The priest refused. His argument was "I had to run and so do you." His refusal to rez the ones who didn't run back resulted in the entire group disbanding.

Charlisse was upset that the priest wouldn't perform one of the duties that is expected of him. The priest was upset that lazy players didn't run back, thus costing the entire group more wasted time if he rezzed them to regain the lost mana.

What do you think? Should all players run back from a wipe or should a rezzer rez?

Sometimes encounters in WoW leave me with a deep loathing for the entire human race, but other times I'm left with a warm fuzzy feeling towards fellow homines sapientes. Fly-by buffs are still fun to give out and to receive -- I would be lying if I said I didn't buff fellow players in the hope that I will receive similar services back, but I tend to rely on global karma, buffing anyone and everyone who crosses my path.

After being beaten up by a nasty elite roamer (Son of Arugal, I'm looking at you, though Borelgore gets honourable mention) there's nothing nicer than a random resurrection. Standing at the graveyard facing a long and depressing corpse run -- or even a short one -- the magic words "<Player> wants to resurrect you" can do a lot to lift my tortured spirits. The last time it happened, a passing priest dismounted, resurrected me, then rode away before I could thank them properly. Back at the mailbox I sent a present, thinking all that karma -- the similar resurrections I'd done on my alts -- had finally paid off.

Ever had a little act of kindness make your day? Do you like or loathe fly-by buffs and resurrections?
