Silly things people leave duties over

Considering I just had a silly moment happen to me, I felt a thread needed to be made over things you consider silly for people leaving a duty over.

I was just in a duty in the roulette, and 2 people left because of my macros after the second boss of Haukke Manor HM. I thought it was silly because I only have one for Perfect Balance, using the Limit Break, Foresight, and Mantra, all 4 of which don't have any sound effect with them. I only used each one once over the run to that point (15 minutes it was), then they called them obnoxious and left.

Anybody else got some silly reasons you've seen people leave duties over?

One of the tanks left a coil turn 1 DF party this morning because doing a sacrifice pull of the trash before Cad sounded "like bad role-playing." I don't know if he was an RPer who thought the sac pull didn't fit his concept, or if he just didn't like sac pulls and thought that was a good insult to use.

Yep. Turn 1, WHM was just running around, not healing anyone at Snake. People getting mad at me for "being so weak" when I'm handling Snake like MT should. THEN they realized WHM wasn't doing shit, WHM just stops moving and derps out of the group. Eventually cleared it 2 mins later when SCH popped in. Cleared it like a boss.

Bad role-playing? Coil isn't a place to "role play." The struggle is REAL.

I had a group vote abandon BF HM after the second boss because the healer disconnected. Like, I'm pretty sure they actually hoped to finish the dungeon right up until the healer d/c'd mid-boss, then decided that waiting for a replacement would take too long, or something.

The anonymous, childish people in Crystal Tower that want to abandon the entire duty b/c the group died one single time.

^This. Even worse when the 'reason' given for abandoning it is 'harassment' even though the person supposedly at fault hadn't said anything, and died for reasons outside their control (off tank was kicked because the main tank in the party died to the trash mobs on Atomos, wiping the whole alliance?). Some people just want a quick and easy run through something, and the slightest deviation from their 'carefully planned' speedrun causes them to throw in the towel.

Aurum Vale. Tank aggros ENTIRE first room and cant keep hate. After doing this 4 times in a row, even with the rest of us trying to tell him one pull at a time, he quits.

Tank leaving because I was dpsing in cleric stance and he insisted his hp should be full all the time even though I never let it drop below 50%

In dungeons, when the tank finds out you/ party doesn't need him till boss fights or finds out the healer can tank better lol.
When the tank asks the healer to stop pulling ahead unless they want to tank, gets outplayed when the healer actually does a good job of tanking.

Tank leaves T2 farm group because some members accidentally go down the wrong hallway.

Had a BLM leave because without a BRD's foe req it was pointless to do the run......0.o why even que lol

You have a weird sense of what outplaying means. You sound like a tanks worst nightmare, any other healer probably outplays you in actual reality.

I wonder why people would do that... the time it takes to find another group doing Crystal Tower nowadays plus the time it takes to get to where he left off would be so long he might as well just stayed...

Or they leave because you aren't DPSing enough for their liking.

Join EX primal through DF and leave after 10 min because it seems team cannot complete it.

P.S.: i am much smarter than that and know there will be a dps who quits first so i will not have a 30 min penalty.

DF roulette and get Titan HM. We wipe once at heart, once a minute or two AFTER heart (mind you that's two echo buffs now, starting the third attempt) and vote abandon. *sigh*

This. Some people just refuse to even try, it's pretty sad.

I think the worst I've seen was a healer in Ifrit HM who threw an absolute fit at the rest of the group for letting the warrior be main tank. Like, we weren't even doing bad at it, but this guy was just insistent that we play the way he wanted us to play. And then acted like he was an irreplaceable part of the group and we were totally going to regret it when he abandoned us.

We solo healed it for a few minutes, and then that night I found out that when somebody joins to make it a full party the entire limit gauge resets... right in the middle of nails.

Beat it eventually though.

I feel like leaving if my healer doesn't DPS.

I feel like leaving if my healer doesn't find the balance between the two.

I had a bard refuse to play because I was outdpsing him in my spirit binding gear.

When healing, I've had tanks drop because I was DPSing in cleric stance, even though no one was dying.

I've also had it go the other way where the healer dropped during Amdapor Keep because I was using Sword Oath despite taking little damage and not losing aggro.

During an Aurum Vale DF run earlier today, a guy in our party raged over losing a roll.

Unless prior conditions have been agreed upon (which they never are) I will always greed and/or need whatever I can. I consider this fair play, and don't see nothing wrong with it. I can sell the items for company seals or gil, so of course I would participate in every roll. But today this one guy started whining and calling me a ninja for losing one roll to me. And it was only that one roll. He kept spamming the chat that he wanted to be kicked because he couldn't play with a ninja like me.

So I'm a ninja now, huehue.

Every single tank on the Roulette.

I left 3 groups today, same reason all three times: because of one smartmiqo DPS that doesn't listen, and is completely delusional when you ask them too. Case in point, marking 1, 2, and 3 targets, ranged DPS is helping me with 1, I flash 2 and 3, then for some reason the melee dps attacks 3, goes hard on it, aggros it, so I have to tank that too, then 2 goes after healer because my GCDs were too limted to tab between them enough, then the healer dies, I spam heal to keep everyone alive, healer gets back, I finally stabalize the situation, then suddenly melee switches to 2 randomly, almost repeats the entire process, all before we've even downed 1. This is on the first pull. What happens when I ask him nicely to follow kill order? He tells me that "its not even hard." Yeah. That whole situation wasn't even hard.
