If you have only a narrow chance of success with the conditions at hand and start anyway, then yes, I do look down on that. It's stupid, foolish, and wasteful of your previous efforts. The mob takes more effort than than what you can generate- stop getting on the court if you can't play ball, hoping that mysterious strangers from the East will kill it for you. Communicate. Plan it out and get in the game with the rest of the "team" that can fight and win- as noted, it's a public fight. If you're going to sit there until they show up anyway flailing and hoping that LOLRANDOM players aren't going to wipe you off the face of Vana'diel, then why not save the effort and open channels of communication with the people who can do the job? Offer to help, find out when they're doing things. Stop trying to "depend" on people who clearly can't fight the fight.

Or sit there for hours frustrated and waste a pile of bayld if you're not lucky. Which is the better plan?
Knock Knock...

Who's there?

A 99 White Mage

What do you want?

Are there a bunch of Japanese people in there?

Yeah, why?

Are they winning?

Sorta...

What's happening?

IDK...

Well Should I Enter? I don't want to waste my Bayld.

Uhhh... That's up to you man...

Well if I join will I win really fast?

I don't know. It seems... okay right now...


Yeah, but like if I join will I win pretty fast? I have to go to bed in a few hours...

HOW THE F*(&( SHOULD I KNOW?!?

Does anyone else know?

Pish off...


Seriously though, How are people supposed to know if someone is gonna come MPK them? or just generally screw everything up?
