Please learn to die on your own (no really, stop stacking the AOE)

One of my biggest pet peeve is when someone constantly drops an AOE on the entire party. Not so much in beginner dungeons but in end-game content like last-boss Monastery etc. It's fine if it happens once but when it happens over and over again and when someone in the chat says "Please don't bring your AOE to the party" and you still continue to do it, why do you still do it? It's probably the very first boss mechanic you learned and you still don't know how it works? I see people running from one corner of the screen going straight to the party with an AOE marker, why?

If you have an AOE marker, bring it to the edge of the universe, don't bring it back to the party and especially don't stack with other players who have it and so help you if you do this on the healers. I don't know if people do it on purpose / as a joke, but you should know better.

If you have a stack marker and only one person is around, don't go stacking on that person knowing perfectly well that nobody else will stack and both of you will die. Instead, kindly die on your own and a healer will resurrect you soon.

I think they dont like dying alone.

I see this so much in o12n where the person with the individual aoe marker stacks with the stack marker its like just go away yer idiot >_>

It ain't Duty Finder unless someone is trying to wipe the party.

And then you get the people who run away with the stack marker. Especially on Nidhogg.
Stupidity finds a way.

I dun wanna kill my own alliance party so I'm obviously going to kill yours. This is my findish and convoluted plot to rack up as many Samaritan achievement points for my healers and wipe your main tank so that my off tank becomes the glorious main tank he was destined to be.



Muwahahhaha

I don't think those people are gonna see your post. It's been out for awhile, but some people are still just catching up. If someone makes a mistake, then they make mistakes. Players are human and flawed people behind that monitor of yours after all.

Server connections/ping can lead to these issues. A Also some people can be forgetful as they haven't done the content for a while and it's a one and done situation. So I wouldn't say it's justified to hate on everyone for that alone.

However people moving Akh Mhorn stack markers FAR away from the group (Looking at you Niddhog/Midgar), or going into the wrong alliance group so they deal with two stack markers (Looking at you Ozma/Hashmal), that's when it's fair to critique it.

Unless you're on a JP server where a good 90% of the time everyone just magically does everything

The 24 man's are notorious for this, the people with no markers stack somewheres away and then someone with a marker always has to drop an aoe on you..
So much for perfect runs when you have to deal with people like that.

And also the stack markers that also fails alot.
