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

To the 3 tanks that abandoned us in CF earlier today the second they loaded in: you suck and may your shoes be ever filled with Legos.

To the 4th tank that loaded into CF with us and was overjoyed to not get CT: you're amazing and may your runs be ever filled with super sonic speed.

Was healing an expert roulette, ran into a tank that was single pulling. No one really complained after the first boss the tank asked the DPS why they were not using cooldowns. They simply replied, "If you want to do the bare min and single pull, we will do the bare min and just do our basic combo." Not going I laughed and cried at that response cause while funny, I knew I was in for a very long run.

Ehehe, Aglaia in Alliance Roulette... I tasted the floor many, many times... especially at the progressive AoE circles on Nald'Thal. We wiped thrice and cycled through many leavers and joiners at them because of people trolling/not understanding the Balance mechanic.

In Aurum Vale as healer.

We had a sprout tank who was quite undergeared with some pieces about 5 levels below cap, some more than 10 levels out, accessories level 1. They were still learning how to pull and draw aggro so they were choppy. Nothing unmanagable though, just challenging. They're a sprout whose learning the ropes so all good, I don't have a problem there.

In the first boss room we have a mentor DPS who decides not to eat their fruit and ends up dying near the end of the battle and lashes out about heals. The other DPS points out that it was their own fault for not eating fruit and I point out that they need to eat fruit at 2 stacks and that I had to focus on our sprout tank first.

They couldn't let it go, the other DPS repeats about fruit again and they shade back that they're a mentor, like, seriously? And people wonder why folk call it the Burger King Crown.

What is it with gobby mentors? I don't give a damn if you're a mentor, if you can't be arsed with the absolute minimum mechanics in a dungeon then I'm not going to hard carry you through there, especially when we have a sprout who need a little extra help.

Should have kicked him from the party. People like that don't shouldn't be allowed to get away with being aggressively stupid, and they sure as heck don't deserve your effort of clearing the dungeon for them.

I'm curious how people know if someone is a mentor or sprout? I must have the option turned off cause I never see it.

Sprouts have a green bud next to their name, mentors have a crown next to their name.

Oh. I have names hidden. Balmung is so packed that if I see names...I see nothing but a sea of names.

Yesterday ran my Expert roulette as a BLM. Got thrown into Alzadaal.

The WAR threw a fit because I LB'ed 2nd to last wall pull. I just gave them a '?' in party chat & exited with 2 comms once the duty ends.

Cute WAR :p

So doing Endsinger and we have this 4head of a healer who thinks this is going to be easy but ends up causing a wipe. The fight starts and he immediately gets a stack by standing in front of her as she lasers the front and then gets a 2nd stack as soon as one of those planet explodes. One healer goes down and the guy with the stacks thinks it's a good idea and stands next to the tank as a TB happens and gets nuked. Wiped in like 4 minutes. What a moron.

PS. I was that moron.
