Ranting of a disappointed player (?)

Get used to the tank abuse. It's very, very common in this game.

It's not right, but few people care.

Edit: With that said, I notice you're on Balmung. Add me if you want, I'll do stuff with you when I can :3

You better believe it, the dungeon standards when dealing with the general game populace for this game are far lower than that of the WoW standards.

In WoW, the general populace /assisted tank target properly in dungeons, marks were for raids and cc. YES CC. We have CC in the game but dungeons are continuously designed to not use them because of inconsistent immunity of monsters to said CC's but i digress, ive given up on strategic values in dungeon crawling.

Most of it is SE"s fault, there are no consequences for not assisting tank target. In WoW it meant a dead dps. Here it just means dps runs around flailing like a fish out of water, while blaming the tank for their issues.

Oh I know. I've heard horror stories from my friends and few FC members. x_x

Just going with my gut and the impression of the brd given, i'd say he/she was probably popping Foe's before tank had hate set and was compounding it by attacking w/e mob instead of current party target.

i will say this very common on the n/a servers typically .. guess most can figure the reasons and not just numbers .. i never had/have this problem on the jp servers they just know what is easier and do there job PROPERLY and for that the runs and the groups work so well and smoothly well more often than not!!!

As has been stated, unless it was last boss, blm was right to use lb as soon as it was full.

sorry to hear you got a party like this.
well i like tanking too but i usually dont even bother marking targets for they will be mostly ignored anyway
for the healer in that case im kinda speechless dpsing while your tank is dieing?

My apologies if I'm 'flaming' or something but I feel the need to relate and/or rant to... SOMEONE, so people at least understand how frustrating it is to deal with that kind of behavior.

Is this a common thing to deal with nowadays in game? :/

Yes, i have noticed players love to disregard tank and then troll them if they ask it to stop. Having to spam dungeons for tomes and crap for relic quest has turned people into bitter izombies who just want to get whatever they are doing done and to hell with you because, ugh...
Instead of people making PF groups for speed runs they just DF it and treat others like crap as if it their right. If people feared for their lives more and lost exp for dying maybe they'd tone down the attitudes a bit.

I think that perhaps your expectations are a little skewed due to being away from the game. First of all, the blm was the only dps in that party that COULD use a damage limit break. So exactly who did you want to use it if not the blm and when if not when it was ready?

Second, White Mages have been beaten up so darn much to DPS MOAR that it's almost automatic now. Expect it and use your cooldowns appropriately. Keeping you alive is a team effort, NOT just the healer's responsibility, and I find it very hard to believe that a white mage who knows enough to stance dance was truly shirking his or her responsibilities. There's something in there you aren't telling us.


You don't even have one job at level cap, so that probably means you are rocking lower level gear. It might not have even been level appropriate and it's possible that you just pulled more than you could handle and the mobs got in a couple lucky crits. It happens and it's not necessarily the healer's fault. Same deal with regards to the bard pulling threat. Could he have backed off? Sure. Did he need to in Haukke? Nah.

In short, I think you should gain a little more experience before complaining about how bad other players are.

^Not defending but LB pulls are annoying.
