Rage quitters

What purpose do you serve other than wasting everyone else's time upon the first wipe? Or when a new player comes in and ask what to do.... instead of helping you just up and leave like you didn't have questions when you first played the game and you wonder why you are still on either Garuda HM or Titan HM because you refuse to help people and the one you failed to help will be the main one to beat the boss before you leaving you behind in the dust. Second issue is telling people they suck because they don't have the appropriate gear on is not cool how about telling them what they need to get instead of trying to look better than everyone else and insulting them... And for the PLD who said she could out damage my monk in full Darklight gear when you had none I'll see you at the PVP arena since you can out damage me I'll put your theory to the test so you can see how the new guy felt when you said his AF was worthless then you left the party hanging

Lol rage quitters are funny especially if you wipe only once or there is a new guy. Its an additional 15 minute timer for you to even requeue. Your loss.

It makes me really laugh when a DD leaves the group. Enjoy your wait! I've had them leave after 1 wipe because people were new and had to learn the mechanics. Next fight we won incredibly easily. Patience is key, but to be honest if they are the type to up and leave after 1 wipe I don't really want to associate myself with them anyway.

this happned to me today at Adampor Keep was first run for me wiped at first boss once got the mechanics of the fight and how to speed run i cant naturally know this i need to learn like all others when they did it on their first time demon wall we wiped 4 times then they called me a noob tank if ur that pro why use duty finder? but then i qeued again and got a player that is willing to help me learn and we won after a few tries now its easy to do 2nd time i did demon wall won first try ^^

Replied to a /shout about looking for a Tank for AK. I told him I was a level 50 Tank but it was my first time.

He didn't even reply to me but kept /shouting.

An hour later he sent me a /tell saying "Still looking for that AK group?"

LOL no thanks you prick. Great way to get yourself ignored by an End Game tank.

I can understand people deciding to leave a group which they feel has little or no chance of completing the content. It is their game time after all and they can decline to spend it with whoever they wish. As long as it is done politely I have no real issue with it. The abysmal way in which some people go about it is unwelcome though. I can understand that they may have waited a long time to get into successive groups which prove to be underwhelming at best, and this can lead to a lot of frustration, but rudeness isn't the answer.

More annoying to me is people opening up the group to new arrivals once the instance is complete. Waiting for extended periods only to zone in to hear the victory music and have to re queue is extraordinarily frustrating.

Thank you for saying this. First thing I thought when I saw the topic. We are not entitled to each other, and time management sometimes means analysis and cutting losses, especially when repairs are climbing.

If the first wipe is decisive and no responses are forthcoming to a polite "so what are we doing differently" strategic discussion attempt, (the definition of insanity and all that...) that one wipe can be all it takes for one gauging the value of their own time, ESPECIALLY in the FFXIV trend of heavily weighting final boss encounters that take a half hour or so to reach.

I do think that "join group in progress" as an option was a mistake. I'd never touch this box, and its existence empowers someone bailing, for whatever reason, far too much over the other players.

Of course, my perspective could be skewed, as a tank, but that's my two cents.

This lalafel named Kenta or Kento Xx was nice enough to explain to do for my first time doing Garuda in 2.0. Now during the fight he starts to saying things like are me and my brother dual boxing.

We wipe the first time, but he said that would be ok for a test run. Second time I got back into the groove of fighting Garuda again. This time he dies, then the white mage and then me. My brother died because he didn't get behind a rock fast enough.

I managed to kill the plumes myself.

But when the tank died, the third restart the white mage left, and then Kent said we were dual boxing failures... there is a little more but I was blown away.

Maybe he's bipolar? I don't know.

After years of Valkurm dunes parties I have all the patience in the world for wipes and the like

for all the "who they call them selfs pros" one question
did you guys clear AK in the first run with random ppl? if not then like when you failed and learned how to do it give other new players time and teach them to do it this is what ffxiv community is all about but i think all the nerd rage coming from wow players ^^ have patience in the end they will get it and if you still dont think that you wanna waste ur time cuz your a pro DONT USE THE FREAKING DUTY FINDER
thank you :D

Amen to that.

Also, since when is it forbidden to loose in a game? Seriously? I crave challenge. There is no other incentive for RPGs to form a strategy and gear up accordingly if everything were too easy.
And dying once? C'moooon. I kind of expect that when I'm new in a dungeon. That's part of the fun, y'know. The discovery, the thrill! Reading guides before the actual fight is not an option for me. That's like starting with the end of a book.

Heh, I had a group like this last night. Waited 45 minutes in queue for HM titan. A WAR told everyone it was his first time there and everyone bailed on the spot.

I gotta admit, while it would've sucked suffering through the impending failure it still beats sitting there another hour waiting in queue.

Just don say its your first time, right know first time means, 75 % will leave. Just wipe them 2-3 times so you learn the fight. If the stay you can try even more. After that just wait another 45 mins and kill the boss. Because the moment you say in random you are new they are afraid, its pretty stupid but heh lets wait another 45 mins befor even trying to kill him with new players...

This reminds me of my first Titan fight, my friend and I were totality new to this fight and didn't know anything. Loveless Lockheart was the tank and we died or got knocked off... omg.. We were called all kinda names by this guy.

Then he went on saying he was f-king king and we would forever suck at this game, until the healer said "let's see how much of a king you are now" and straight stop healing the dude.. He left after that, the next tank who join was so positive and had a lot determination. He said he doesn't care how many times we wipe, we're beating this and sure enough we did. He said we needed to stand behind Titan so if we get hit by andslide we wouldn't fall off.

P.S. please forgive my typing, on a cellphone atm. xD

Remind me of this time I was doing cutter's cry. I'm a tank and I was with my friend a healer the other two dps were a bard and a monk called Lil Snarf. During a fight with trash mob my friend suddenly experienced some lag spike and had hard time to heal me. The monk was doing absolutly nothing to move out of the random aoes on the floor and died miserably.
Before my friend could rez him, he left without a word. 10 sec after that, another DPS joined and we rolled over the dungeon and killed all bosses on first try.

Not sure if the rage quitter could get in a new team before we finished our run >_>
Sometimes rage quitter should think about their behaviors...

I agree with this. Challenge is what makes the game fun for me. I'm not a huge fan of having everything optimized for me before I can try it out myself, and then having those optimizations forced on me. I've got nothing against players who just want to try to explain things, of course, that's always appreciated (especially if I'm failing in some obvious way).

Ive been running through the dungeons with friends and have used the DF only when I want to reroll on a dungeon when friends arent on. All of us at each dungeon are new to it. My favorite fight was Titan. It was just a hysterical disaster with his "break your face" punch of doom and the stone casing he casts on you. We love running that primal fight the most. We always invite the persons first run to Skype if they have it and I can care less when we wipe. Repair bill or not were having fun not stressing about it. The only thing that annoys me the most is when a tank comes in the DF and boasts about how he done this a million times, hes the best tank, doesnt like constructive criticism and basically wipes and bails on the first fight. I have run many new people through dungeons and Primal fights. The only fight that's hard to get new people to remember and understand is Garuda but in the end we wipe oh well but they usually figure it out half way through the timer
