PSA: Remember what your main stat is

I don't know if it's because jump potions, potd, or people straight up being bad, but I've seen a lot of players running around in gear (accessories specifically) that aren't for their main job.

STR isn't going to do much for healers and neither will DEX for melees. That CP ring might fill that last slot, but unless the boss requires a knitted sweater you're better off heading to the MB or vendor.

STR - DRG, SAM, MNK
DEX - BRD, MCH, NIN
INT - BLM, SMN, RDM
MND- WHM, AST, SCH
VIT- DRK, PLD, WAR

Granted, there's debate for tank accessories, but I'll leave that to the experts. This list is a general introductory guide.

CP increases your RNG chances of getting boned at 98%. A little surprised people level anything outside of PotD, pvp, fates or dailies.

Don't worry, their enjoyement will end at level 70 where accs are class locked.

61+...though it's 64+ where they're higher than the lv 60 ones.

True that, thanks for the correction.

I don't understand why we need a new thread every time someone runs into a bad player in the game.

I can't wait for the final stage of O12S that requires us to engage the boss in a macramé competition.

Because this isn't A bad player.

This is many many bad players who think its ok to wear healing gear on their dps. idk how many times I've checked people who have poopoo dps or cant heal worth a hoot and they have the wrong gear on.

People use the wrong accesories to boost thier ilvl.

In most cases yes. Though we do have the occasional bard coming from previous games where strength affected ranged attacks, ninjas who think melee are "obviously" strength etc, and then just people who are too lazy to gear up and wear whatever they happen to win lots on in previous dungeons.

None of those people are here. You think people who don't read tooltips or introductory quests and guides in the game are going to come to a forum to try and figure out what they missed?

I came to say the same thing basically. You are giving a PSA to people, where the people that need it are unlikely to come to the forums. I really be shocked if someone that does not put the effort in gearing properly will come to the forums. SE needs to make better gear gating, that is the only way to fix this.

In leveling dungeons where there is no ilvl requirement?

People used to do it on everything, expert, the 24 raids, of course you can't do it in SB anymore due to the role locking but yes people do it everywhere. It is possible people will still use the 270 stuff to bypass ilevel requirements but who knows.

They come to the forums all the time. They ask for nerfs, they cry foul on people who try saying they are elitists and complain when they get booted out of dungeons for this very thing. They sadface about how poorly they are treated and make even more threads about how its there sub not yours. So they do come here, in droves.

lol memories of early ARR, people wearing full crafter sets into dungeons for spiritbond purposes, when gear conversion was pretty much the only way to get materia and the difference between enemy level and gear level didn't have much impact on speed of bonding at that time. also spiritbond parties at urth's fount farming the water sprites, again with full craft/field gear apart from a weapon.

PSA for who?.. These players don't read the official forum. They don't even read the party chat.

No they don't, I think people would refer to them as midcore. The people that this thread is directed at do not come on the forums. It is simple as analyzing personality. If someone is coming here looking for advice or comment on anything, that shows they have some basics down and put in some effort in the game. For people that wear the wrong gear and trying shortcut, you really think they come here at all?
