Worst Vault party ever (INCOMING RANT)

So, I've been leveling my Bard and wanted to get some gear so I queued for Vault. I got one of THE worst teams ever. I always use Wanderer's Minuet or stance dance taking it off or putting it on for quick time sensitive things. But I've mained WHM before and AST so I understand how timing your casting skills is important. I've done Vault several times before this without a hitch except for missing a few dodges. THIS team however apparently has never done it before, though it says they have. The tank screwed us the first run at final boss because he tanked the boss to the back of the room and we couldn't see the adds to dodge. And then this trashtier BLM starts hitting the dmg stack fire balls away from us instead attacking the same one as us, slowing our progression down and getting hit by the remaining fire balls. And she NEVER dodged the aoes so she always died first.

The healer (I know his name but I'm not that petty), decided it MY fault that the team was doing so poorly. He said to take Wanderer's off and never put it back on because we as dps, mind you the BLM was still not hitting the targets with the party, were failing because I was slow. I told them that I wasn't the issue, and I tried to tell them that I think we could progress faster if the BLM attacks with us or at least one target ahead of us in succession instead tackling a whole other target around the circle. But they insist it's me so to prove to them, because I've done this several times before their team, that I wasn't the issue I didn't use Wanderer's like they asked and we STILL wiped.

So I tried telling them again. And the BLM gets upset and says that at I can move and have auto attack when in Wanderer's. Now any Bard knows this isn't true, these are by far the LEAST true things ever said about the class that it made me laugh at her ignorance of the class. I corrected, "So, when Wanderer's is on, you can't move or else it'll interrupt the casting, but I don't cast during times I know I'll have to move or dodge an aoe anyway so it's no problem to me. I also don't have auto attack because Wanderer's cancels out auto for dmg". She got upset again and said that she wouldn't attack the same target because she has to cast and can't finish the cast before we kill the target, so I tell her again to hit the target ahead of us in succession then.

By the time I get to the top of the dungeon they've kicked me.I was sooooo fucking livid because I can't report them since it's not RMT activity. But I spent 45 minutes on that dungeon only to be kicked by a party whom doesn't understand the classes they play with and won't try a different route to defeat boss EVEN after I did because they asked me to. I absolutely hate partying with people like this and to not be able to report them and not actually have a reason except their rude human beings sucks.

The fact they were falsely blaming you and harassing you over it (which they were), you do have a report case on your hands under harassment. I'd still report it.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ry.-Let-s-vent.

We have a dedicated thread for these type of posts. Also, you can bypass the character limit by editing your post.

You can edit your post after you post it to by pass the character limit.

I also highly suggest removing swears in your post, as GMs might suspend you for that.

There is already a very sizeable thread dedicated to horror stories from the Duty Finder.

And lastly, I'm sorry this happened to you. You can absolutely report them even though it's not RMT, In the menu with the log out function and whatnot, there's a place to contact a GM to report harassment. There might be a chance the GM will shrug it off for "different playstyles", but you won't know unless you try.

(edit) Wow you all type fast. Made all my points before I posted. D:

Thank you guys, I will move it right away, sorry for the mishap!

Well, abusing vote kick, as in you know you most certainly didn't do anything to warrant being kicked, is a reportable thing. Not sure how much gets done about those cases though...

They likely won't either. You can't even appeal the ban or attempt to make a case for yourself. You're just given an email informing you of the ban (temp or perm) and that's it.

They blamed you for their failures and kicked you after they proved said failures it in chat. Ya, I would a GM being more keen to act in a situation like this. Though I'd expect no more than warning for a first time stunt like this.

What difference does it make who attacks what fireball

It's about to be 2017 and people are still fucking up in The Vault. We need more tutorials.

Makes no difference. Either the group has the dps to get them all down or they don't. Who attacks what does not affect this. The *only* way it would matter is if you happen to end with a couple at half health and could have lived through one, but not both, exploding... but the odds of that being what happened are probably quite minimal. That's not to say it was OP's fault they wiped (though clearly it could have been) but it wasn't because of the claimed reason either.

Idk why but every time i read a vault drama post it brings a smile to my face.

I don't think it's matter who attacks which fireball. Most of the time I don't want other ppl to attack the same DPS race add as me because I can burn it on my own, they should attack the others instead.

For the Vault, I'll never do this duty as a healer again. I made a mistake once running it as a WHM and people will waste no time blaming the healer for the last boss wipe. They probably don't know how hard it is for healer if they keep failing to dodge stuffs.

If the blm was smart they'd plan ahead of time to keep their stacks of Fire/Ice going but they didn't, it was an unjustified kick the blm wanted to be a special snow flake due to not using their casting bar right. So to an extent you got kicked because they couldn't play their class that's friggen ridiculous I can't believe that there are people who can't even figure out how to keep stacks up on a class with unlimited resources.

I think the only person that ever got unbanned was Dervy (what a legend!) and they ended up banning him again. I'm not even sure how he managed to do it, GMs straight out say there's no appeal process.

Trap parties exist everywhere, I'm sorry you found one. ; (

Btw, do you know what could have proved you were not the one failing the party? A DPS meter! (yeah I know this horse has been beaten to death but I couldn't resist).

Also, even tho its not strictly necessary... tank and healer dps help alot on this part. Did you notice if the tank properly switch to a dps stance on the fireballs phase? Or more importantly, did you notice if the healer put on cleric stance to help out as well since the party takes, literally, zero damage during that part? There are lots of players, mostly healers, who refuse to DPS if their role is not DPS, even on situations where it's heavily implied by the game that the whole party should be helping out on the DPS.

Don't stance dance as BRD it can potentially make your ability to use Iron Jaws a lot more harder due to the cool down on WM.

BUT, aside from that, your party sucked, I'm sorry you had to deal with stupid idiots like that.

Why do people come here and post rubbish like this, there's no way to know whether the poster is telling the truth, more to the point why would anyone care, we've all experienced bad players if we all came running here to post about it the forums would be full of nothing but rants.

You're quite right. For all we know, the op could be the reason for the wipes and have terrible dps. I never known a group who couldn't down all the fireballs even with a dead dps
Also I agree with the blm, he/she should have been attacking one or two of the fireballs by himself.

I always attack distant targets as any caster job. It lowers my DPS if I have to cancel a cast because a melee scored a run of crits and downed a target while I was casting. And it's more efficient to have the melee covering less ground instead of having to do a lap of the entire arena on foot to hit every individual enemy. Not saying this proves your party didn't suck, but the rage a BLM feels when a long cast is aborted because everyone wanted to attack one target at a time is real.

They banned Dervy? I'm curious why, though part of me guess it's because he advocates parasing and makes guides on how to do it.

Ah the Vault... Still filtering out the garbage since Heavensward launch.

Not necessarily a reliable filter but a filter nonetheless.

Seems that was the reason.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This x1000.

This is most of the playerbase. It's between this and those jackasses that THINK they know everything and don't listen/resort to insulting you when you offer advice.

This is why I'm done "teaching", unless someone asks me specifically to teach something about my jobs/a certain fight.

They banned Selli for what reason?
