Watch your attitude on the DF or this...

[Nullie]

If I see another person with a Raise spell who doesn't have Swiftcast cross classed I am gonna stop using DF altogether

But...but...swiftcast has a two minute cooldown. ; ; I can't help it if people don't dodge basic attacks and you weren't the first to get it.

Tonight in Ifrit Hard-Mode--- Tanking on Warrior---
Soon as we entered I told them this was my 1st time doing this on ARR and I had beat it several hundred times on 1.0. I asked them if there was anything different to please let me know. I used proper grammar, spelling, and so on. No one spoke up about anything different but instead told me to leave and others called me an ebay account. I was called "Retard" and "Gay" and you name it, including Mom bashing and so on. One of them stated "You ebay accounts always make us die 1000x before 1x win, just leave!" Anyways, I'm tanking it like it's the easiest ever, no one dieing or anything, so when it was down to ~5% I said "Ebay this" and left the fight

I think there's a rule up here that goes with Food Service.
Don't piss off the tank.
Don't piss off the Healer.
And DPS... /shrug

Alright, dungeons are not my strong suit, I have not done many, not even in 1.0 so I really had nothing to go on.

Last night I got to do a Sastasha and Copperbell for the first time ever. In Sastasha I was MNK, going DD for the first time ever and the party got a headsup at the beginning about this. Nobody died but apparently I wasn't DDing correctly or something. I was called "horrible horrible pug" (and I was actually MNK, that's slightly different from PUG I'd say) and I got "lawl" comments and whatnot - I did tell them it was my first run as DD, so....after the run they just left without so much as "Congrats" or a "GG". Oh well. Copperbell was a much rougher run and I was CNJ but at least the party was nice about it being my first time in there, and had a more friendly and forgiving attitude about it. We ended up dying a few times (all 4 of us ^^; ) but we eventually did win and it ended on a good note.

I do not need to hear about how much more awesome you play or how horrible, horrible I am. I'm still learning. By all means, let me know how I can improve, or I can always do more research on my own. Don't cut people down.

When everyone works together and avoids acting like asses just because someone hasn't gotten a feel for the new system yet, DF can actually be a pleasant experience. We're ALL learning and playing the same new XIV, so just chill out already

If you were on the DF... there was prob another tank... and he probably voked.... and then the rest of the group probably still won... and they probably lol'd at you when they got the loot and credit and you didn't.

Not defending them... but what you did was really stupid.

You kept yourself from enjoying the rewards in order to obtain some degree of happiness by depriving those who mistreated from enjoying the same. I'm not sure that's much better than insulting others. You could have instead explained to them in the end, that maybe being a jerk to every one isn't the most intelligent thing to do and they would have been far more receptive and understanding.... and if your goal was to change behavior, you probably accomplished the opposite... as they probably are now either angry for someone like you for screwing them over or they think you are silly because you more likely just shot yourself in the foot.

even at 5% you can still wipe in a second ifrit most likely went after the healers, im always getting owned in one hit as whm when a tank DC's or quits in the middle of the fight. takes a bit for the other tank to grab enough enmity off the healers.

That just made my day. Thank you. +1

I kinda want to reroll to a tank after I hit level 50 on my alt after I read that post.

[FyeyaHerald]

Awesome.

I have had pretty good groups so far, and the bad ones fell into line when I told them "You will attack what I mark in the order i mark it, or you will tank it."

I usually help cover people's mistakes, but when they're a jackass to other players in the group, I let them sink on their own.

Also as the tank few things are more satisfying than watching that bad DPS who is raging and flaming quit and knowing he's the one with 15 min lockout and then a 1 hour queue while the rest of us can get a new dps in 15 seconds and move on with the dungeon.

I never drop on people; I'll wipe to 100% broke gear with ya if it comes to that and we all want to keep trying.

When i'm healer i never take crap like that. There was this MRD tank with paper armor @ longstop that kept insisting on gathering every possible mob around, even farther ones, and i kept spamming cures. At one point i had no chance but to spam Cure 2 and run out of MP on the trash mobs. He even insisted i pitched in on dmg which i answered it didn't fit my playstyle as a CON. I believe CONs should preserve their mp since they don't have any mp generating abilities (unless they cross-class which i wasn't doing since it was my first class) and should only use DD abilities when they feel safe they can, since it's not their priority - and i didn't feel i could.


I couldn't care less. As soon as i DF i get an invite. So i told him either he left or i did. He did leave and we DFed a PLD which did the job and i barely had to use any mp on cures due to that cure 1 additional cure 2 so i pitched in on dmg. You'll get really nasty people. Try to reason and if you can't, just leave. Even as DD. 20 mins are totally worth a bitter experience imho.

2 wrongs don't make a right.... but you know what I approve of this 100000%

I honestly wish you had taken a SS of those people so we all know who to avoid.. i can not stand grouping with people like that..
