The noob moments that you have witnessed that made you /facepalm...

I got a Good one, Its about myself
Lvl 10-15 rdm about 4 years ago (2007 ish) being escorted by a nice mithra rdm to the dunes. Talking with her, telling her what is already painfully obvious that it was my 2nd day playing and I didnt know anything. Walkin from Sandy, she asked "Do you have a tele?" Being new and very poor at the time i said "No I dont have a telephone at the moment" Without skipping a beat she said "No I mean do you have the teleport crystal so we dont have to walk" I felt about as big as a Taru at that time.

This thread, is a mind controller :/ It's the only thread I can think of that is actually making me think about anything. Trying to recall these facepalm moments.

lol glad I could supply you with some food for thought until the servers come back up. Haha.

I get asked to help some one with the final chapter of CoP. Since I'm experienced in this field and am more than glad to help, I accept the request. The person who asks me isn't the leader of the group.

We get through 8-1 and 8-2. Then disband and agree to regroup the next day after everyone has solo flee run their respective towers.

Once this is done, and we regroup the next day, I help them with getting their brands for the 8-3 pot fight.
Once this is done, I start talking about getting a PUP to come solo it for them.

Party leader chimes in: "No, PUPs suck, they can't solo anything, are you retarded?"
I am speechless at this ignorant comment.
After gathering my composure.
"Who's done this before?"
Leader: "I have."
"And how many times did you die during the fight?"
"What's that matter?"
"I didn't die once? I've done this more than once?"
"I don't care, I don't let PUPs in my party, they're useless."
"Okay, ignoring captain ignorant, the rest of you want to not die and lose exp/waste your time right? Do any of you have PUP?"
Party member: "Agreed, I have PUP. Want me to switch?"
Leader: "No, I'm the leader, we're not going to waste our time with something as stupid as PUP."
"Well then, you can solo it yourself then, I'm only here to help, if the rest of you actually want to clear CoP come with me and <person I'm helping>"
*Party drops and reforms on me*
*We clear CoP from that point without any failure on the pot fight*
*We all /facepalm at former party leader's retarded bias*
*Former Party Leader rages and doesn't clear CoP*
*A week later, he's shouting for a PUP to solo 8-3 for him*
/facepalm

Crawler's Nest party. Everyone is chocoboing through Rolanberry except one guy. After coercing/threatening him to get a move on, he zones into Rolanberry as we reach Crawler's Nest entrance to wait for him/another straggler on a chocobo. Straggler #1 reaches us but I look at the map and notice that Coerced/Threatened guy (Straggler #2) hasn't gotten too far. Continue waiting.
2 minutes pass, I check again, he's not even around the first bend, and I'm like "wtf?"
"What's taking you so long to get here? You're bad at riding a chocobo, stop afk auto running and get the hell over here."
"I'm not on a chocobo."
"Wtf!? Why?"
"I don't have a chocobo license yet."

You know, re-reading my own posts on this matter, they seem completely unbelievable. And it makes me /facepalm that they're true. I've seen way too much fail, maybe I shouldn't return to the game tomorrow xD or I'll just be adding more of these stories to my collection.

LAWL!~ People are so stupid...Let's see...Most of my /facepalm moments that I have witnessed usually involve Dunes lol. Can't remember any right now, but I remember several /facepalm moments before the mob depop patch when I would be stuck outside a zone (usually GC or CN) because there were a buttload of trained mobs at the zone. <.<;

The most Noobish moment I have whitnessed in game...

I think that would have to be seeing a Red mage soloing Genbu and Converting before using an Antidote or Stoneskin.

[Raka]

Actually, scratch that.

It would totally have to be seeing this Galka Samurai get nailed by Dissevernment in Diorama(Ballista) from a Blue mage just before he killed the Blue mage...then he left Diorama and died to Dissevernment Poison right outside Mog House in Ru'lude Gardens.

I actually have to update and stuff, I've been gone from the game since 2 weeks after the 80 cap update. I wish they had at least left the playonline server up so I could get this sort of stuff done ahead of time but, no.
