We get to Livia, I get abuse from everyone in this party for not waiting for their friend, and they then kicked me so I, and I quote, "don't get my roulette bonus because I don't deserve it".

But it's not your job to pull as a WHM in the first place...

I am well aware it isn't my job to pull. But after standing there for 2 minutes with 7/8 of the party, I didn't know why we were waiting in a DF group. No one said anything. So I figured neither of the tanks wanted to MT/pull, since that does happen every once in a while.

After nearly an hour in the first group and another 40 minutes in the second group, I wasn't exactly overflowing with patience. It was my last roulette of the day and I was planning on having it done so I had an hour and a half to get laundry on before I went to work since I wouldn't be home before maintenance.

[EDIT] I'm not saying I'm the saint of the situation. I wanted to get things done so I was impatient, however, no one said anything at all about wanting to do things at a slower pace until I was kicked. I simply treated it like any other DF run. Had they let me known at the start of the dungeon or after the first boss, I would have had no problem taking an extra 20-30 minutes out of my laundry time.

A healer (i think) who complained the entire run of Void Ark in Alliance chat because he lost a roll on a drop against someone who wanted his item for glamour. I can understand its frustrating to lose a roll to someone who purely wants glamour when you could use said item for yourself as an upgrade but such is life in 24-mans, especially when they just released.

It was mildly annoying to read though.

When leveling ninja, I had a run which 1 tank said speed run. Everyone agreed. We get to the first boss and we stand, I said thought you wanted a speed run? He actually forgot he was a tank :3

Anyone can pull tbh its faceroll

While I was leveling my BLM last I was 59, i just needed 2 library runs and I would hit 60.

1. We get in, everything goes smoothly, tank dings 60 before first boss and leaves. =___=
2. Got in again not waiting too much.... got a party we start, the whm puts buffs, and before even we start anything already popping divine and presence and I was ok... we get to 1st boss, this healer (no first timer) again does the divine and presence before even engaging and then dies because not fast enough changing the sides; which ok happens.... we retry, same thing, and they just leave...................

I ended doing another try and went in again, thanks god it was a decent run and we finished it..... and then I just did hunts and BT and hit 60 <o<;

Did you try asking why you were waiting?

The problem is many people doing MSQ nowadays are people who're not playing their main job. So you'll meet a lot of part-time tanks who lack confidence and/or abilities to tank.

Of course I did. No one said anything.

English is not my first language, so I know sometimes my posts don't make sense. I tried to make these posts make as much sense as I could since there was a lot of information, but I've stated many times that no one said anything. They really did not say anything at all.

You're doing just fine, don't worry about your English.

When people say "they said nothing" I think it's fair to assume the poster has tried the basic forms of communication. Replying with the question "did you try asking them?" is a little condescending, no?

Well, very understandable then. When I want to get things done I can be a little impatient too sometimes :)


PS: Your English is fine, don't worry :D
