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

I didn't play much when CT series was relevant so now I'm surprised of how much WTF and horror stories 24-man duties are capable of creating.

I'm talking about...
1 person alliance because everyone else DCed.
2 alliances wiped while mine had 100% HP with no problems.
Tanks fighting between themselves and Provoking the same mob, ensuing chaos on the whole raid.
TEN (10) Bards on the parties. 2 whole alliances made only of Bards.

And not a single song ever, right?

I was tanking in Haukke Manor normal today with two of my friends who were DPSing. On the last boss, the healer wasted the limit break. No one was even close to dying. It didn't really bother me because we still beat the boss, but I thought it was funny.

This last run with my friend in High level, I wasted the LB (as tank).

He didn't find it funny but I sure did.

And then there was that time when I ran ST, and there were 12 black mages. The rest of the DPS were, IIRC, bards or melee. And yes, Foe's was up most of the time, to everyone's delight. I think I have a screenshot somewhere of the alliance composition ^^;

Here's a sad one.

Que'd for Pharos Sirius, and right when the "Light Party" screen went up, my monitor goes black. I freak out and fix my monitor cords, meanwhile my party is poking me. I tell them what happened and all is good, at least up until the first boss room. So I pull the boss as DRK, mobs spawn, grab those too, all is well, when suddenly my monitor goes black and not only that but my Computer locks up and becomes completely unresponsive. I know it's clearly a fault on my side but since playing in August I have never disconnected like that mid dungeon before. Especially as tank. Sorry to those that were in my party, you seemed like a great bunch of guys. :(

Just met this wonderful player:

Could I report getting kicked here or did I forfeit my moral high ground by saying stupid(with every right)?

You're in a 4-man easy-mode dungeon. Saving lb or not, it doesn't matter at all (if its used, ok. If not, well, its not. Heck, most runs I'm in DPS forget about it til the last boss is at 1% HP). Absolutely nothing to get all worked up over.

Group decided they didn't like your elitist attitude, they kicked you for it, and its within their rights to do so.
Also, as far as the Final Witness title goes...it really doesn't mean anything anymore, T13 is soooooo easy to clear at 60, and even easier to carry people through (in other words, even if you did clear it before Echo way back in 2.4, no one would know you did; for all anyone knows, you got it at 60 or bought a clear). And it has no bearing whatsoever on how good a DPS you are (could have gotten it tanking or healing). Using it to try to prove you're better than someone else is just being rude and elitist.

^ I had the opposite happen. Where a dps used the LB on the second boss of Qarn NM, and the other dps started yelling at him for being stupid and to save it. After I explained that it would refill by the last boss he tried to rip into me as well. Then the tank explained it as well and he finally backed off that arguement as it was 3-1. He decided to be a jerk the rest of the map, so we kicked him right at the last boss. That felt good.

Are you for real? I clearly wasn't being rude or elitist until the other person started it. Calling someone new is like the stock insult of elitism. I was well in my right to tear their arguments apart after that. And I would have been in the right if I kicked THEM as well, if I was the one who had a friend along.

Frankly it's way too easy to kick someone for nothing in this game. I almost always vote against kicking and yet it seems whenever someone starts a vote it nearly always goes through even if it dooms the party. Should require near-unanimous consensus instead of just half the players.
