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

Sometimes I wonder about people during the patch lulls.

Ran alliance roulette earlier, got LoTA on an alt that needed their pld leveled. I typically keep my tank stance off unless it's adds. We eventually make our way to the Vassagos and both the ast and whm let me die to the poison dot and autos while standing there doing...something. I thought it was typical dps mentality until I look at the ast's search comment:

"I know your hp is low...but did you die? XD"

Why yes, yes I did die. It's why the Vassagos immediately went after to munch on the dps' face and the whm was surprisingly instant on the raise.

Then I throw myself into leveling and get Dzemael Darkhold. I can at least do the huge hallway pull on the first part, which is nice.

What wasn't nice was the Cryptlurker/possibly boosted WHM I got wearing some quite expensive Bahamut healer glam spamming Cure 1 on me, and fishing for Freecure. Not a single bit of dps was had from them. Not even a single Aero the entire dungeon.

Being a healer isn't that hard, y'all. You have more than one button, you have a pair of eyes, you should be able to do at least one thing right. And people wonder why my faith in randoms is mostly dead.

At least you didn't get the tank I got in Praetorium who managed to die on Nero by slacking inside the thunder. 6 Years into the game, and it's the first time I see a player of any role die inside that... And yes, the healer stopped healing him because the tank didn't gave a sh*t about what we were saying. Did I mention that guy was just smashing random button and I was tanking adds as a summoner instead of him ?

So Cincierta, you say people got a pair of eyes, which is true. But remember that they are too lazy to actually read even their spells.

I have to remember some people don't have more than one braincell between their ears. Some time ago I had a whm that somehow died to Nero in that instance when I replaced a tank. That was the one where the blm was wearing a few pieces of glam gear to 'give the dungeon more of a challenge' when all it did was drag it on longer for the rest of us.

Smashing random buttons? Jack missed Rage of Halone.

Had a dancer in Void Ark complaining on the last boss about people not doing mechanics. Then I reminded them they hadn't picked a dancer partner through the entire dungeon.

That time when you actually get Orbonne in alliance roulette and are excited that it isn't something from snoozefest CT. Yay!

That time where you get 2 dancers who half the time don't bother with Standard Step and use Devilment naked.

That time where you're on whm and end up doing 95% of the healing for your party because your co-healer sage is relying on you to pick up their slack. This leads to people dying an awful lot during mechanics.

That time when not only your co-healer sage screws up mechanics or doesn't pay attention/dies, but all of your dps and occasionally your tank doesn't bother to pay attention to mechanics. That 54 vuln pickup game isn't doing itself apparently.

That time where you're spending half of your time scraping people off the ground because of the aforementioned above.

That time where you Rescue people out of mechanics only for them to go back into them and play more of the 54 vuln pickup.

That time where you finally clear and only get a singular comm for the backbreaking carry.

I think I'll just go back to redecorating my FC's hall.

It's indeed the gravest crime that some people play the game sub optimally and might extend a run by a couple minutes.

If you want to know, the Orbonne run I had took about 40 minutes.

there is suboptimaly and then there are lazyness, respectlessness and stupidity.

I actually love this. When the co-healer is bad, I almost need to do things and not fall asleep. This is nice.

This is my goal everytime I queue into random Ivalice/NieR ARs: to get a party that just doesn't game. Bonus point if cohealer bails or dc and never get a replacement.
