Duty Finder trolling....

Why do people go into Duty Finder just to troll? And this is something I don't understand because if you do this then you die as well as your team.

For example, yesterday I was queuing on Titan(Hard) as Paladin, and when we entered the other tank was lvl 50 gladiator. This threw me off at first then I examined his/her gear and they had allagan Gloves which drop on turn 4.
The player proceeds to tell me that he needs this fight for relic. At this point a quick lodestone search for their name revealed they had Relic+1 as well as Several Myth iLvl90 gear and Allagan drops. Yet they were equipped in a combination of darklight ilvl 45 gear and a few allagan pieces.

I didn't think much of it, since if you are gladiator you cant use relic+1 (but they said they needed fight for relic)... until the fight started. I was main tanking and they would provoke right before Landslide to try and get me (the tank) hit by landslide. It normally never targets the tank so they would try and steal hate to get me killed.

This player than proceeds to ask me where I got my armor was it in "crystal coil" which I found it odd, since they themselves had allagan drops. And I told them, in coil they should know, and they proceed to keep talking about "crystal coil" even after I told them Crystal Tower was patch 2.1. Then we wiped, and he/she said "how am I to get relic now?" and then left.

Now this is just weird. Why would you even bother doing this? Anyway Sorry for the post it's mainly a rant and me venting, I just quite don't understand people sometimes.

Feel free to post other rants/venting about Duty finder mishaps.

^ This is golden.

They're probably capped for the week and bored, it's disappointing you have to put up with this but thankfully the vote kick option and mvp system is right around the corner so hopefully they help make a difference.

1. he is bored and an idiot
2. bought account

That is all I got

3. Wasted out of his mind.

4. The guys brother actually jumped on his account and decided to troll for fun.

Rant away my friend, it is good to rant to let it all out and I do like how your not insulting the player :)

lets see, AH! Here's a good one, not trolling but I think they didn't fully understand how Stone Skin works.

I was in a dungeon with a WHM and the WHM cast Stone Skin on me, we got through the dungeon and about after half way the WHM asked me not to do the thing what removes status effects *Meaning Stone Skin* I was a Tank in the dungeon and for the life of me I couldn't think of what he means. Plus my knowledge about Stone Skin wasn't much. So we cleared the dungeon then I realized that Stone Skin wears off after I take 10% of my HP. So of course me being the Tank, Stone Skin would wear off as it should :P

Golden? that sounded like the worst troll attempt ever. Crystal coil? did he think someone would actually go for this? this was a fail attempt at being funny. Even if I was on board with trolling ppl I would find this a very lame attempt. Like being a stand up comedian and telling knock knock jokes.

Honestly the way he talked I thought he was either drunk or foreign. I just found it odd that from the start he said he needed for relic yet was on a class and not a job so it was a troll as soon as he queued.

I doubt it will fix it since i think he queued with friends.

Vote kick will be kinda useless in trials like primals since they can't be replaced so this is going to go on for awhile, though take some comfort in knowing they're actually rare. They tend to be more common late night and weekends for obvious reasons though, so expect that. I tend to not group up on weekends because of this.

Oh god, I had this arcanist join a WP the other week.
At 1st, I was like what the fuck? But I didn't want to be 'that' guy, so I went along. This guy was terribly equipped, (around 2.1k HP) and kept spamming ruin. Didn't use any DoTs, or his carbuncle. What made it even worse was, he kept purposely wiping on the big tonberry. Pretty sure he was trolling, I mean no one is THAT bad, plus he ignored all chat. I ended up leaving after the 1st boss.

I try not to insult people since we were all new at one point, but this guy was geared wasn't on Spirit bond gear he was not even on a job, just a class. And if he said "i want to try new ability combos from cross class" cool but he said he needed for relic, which you must be on the job to get it. So from the start it was just someone being a "troll".

also cant be insulting people if i am posting this :P http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nder-Etiquette
Would make me such a huge hypogriph!.

there will ALWAYS be ppl like this, sadly

Something similar happened to me when helping a friend out in CM. Guy was pulling stuff to get the party to wipe. Going AFK during bosses and spamming <se.1> <se.2> <se.3>.

Guy was an absolute tool. He thought he was being funny but he was just ruining some people's first time doing the dungeon.
