Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

Tank with all jobs maxed out zones naked into Haukke normal (aka cheesing the roulette for paste farming, or w/e that end game stuff is called).
Then keeps complaining about how much his job sucks on low level.
Also wasn't unable to interrupt boss abilities, and could not turn away from gaze attacks. Apparently their job was even more gutted than normal.

There was - an apparent newbie asking for a team to run Abyssal Fracture - and not labelled as unsynced, which I thought made a change. At that point there weren't any takers. So, after consulting with those I was in the company of we joined, giving this player a Paladin (me), Dark Knight (friend) and Scholar (my partner) - the remaining places filled quite quickly.
However, as soon as all places were taken my friend (the DRK) was kicked off the team and immediately replaced by another tank (presumably someone the team leader knew) without any explanation, followed by a 'ready check'. To be honest, me and my partner both opted to leave the team as neither of us could see any value in supporting someone who would do something like that.

I doubt the fool in question will ever read this - but on the slight off-chance.... that was a crap thing to do and you're lucky we didn't report you, because we probably should have!

Some people will defend this by saying "it was his party, he can do whatever he wants" but this behavior is straight up toxicity and should be reported, shamed and just leave the group + blacklist.

I was doing Castrum Meridianum the other day as a Gunbreaker.

During the first boss, as reinforcements spawned, the three members of my party started wildly running around the arena. I physically can't chase 3 people around the arena. I asked them politely to bring the enemies to me if they get targeted. So what did they do next spawn?? Run around like headless chickens.

I'm not asking people to do Twintania dive bombs, for the love of Zodialyn... I've been playing this game for 13 years. When ARR came out, people knew what to do. Everyone did mechanics, we knew to focus the tank's target, because aggro was different, and everyone did their best. People don't know how to play this game anymore, nor do they care about doing better for their sake's, or their party's.

Oh, and the healer wasn't casting a single damage spell. How do I know?? Because I'm a fucking witch, that's how. I asked them mid dungeon to please do better for the sake of the party, and they did nothing.

A while back I was in a normal mode raid or trial, I forge the specific fight it was in a roulette grind.

Everyone goes down except for one tank and a red mage. And LB3 fills up.

So I think 'great, the red mage will res a healer who will lb3 and we'll finish this.' The boss only had about 1/4th health left.

But then I see a giant blue circle as the red mage...uses their lb instead of ressing a healer. (Yes, the duty was high enough level that verraise is available, the red mage just goofed.)

Not a big deal but it was kind of funny to see happen.
