Just had a tank join a dungeon with me...

They'll probably be long gone by the end of the third month of payed subscription.

exactly. those are not 'wow-players'. those are MMO-hoppers. they play a game, they get bored, they troll. and then they're seen in the next game.


we really shouldn't give them so much power. most people you encounter in this game are nice. the rotten ones just tend to spoil the fun for everyone.

and I definitely agree that someone should make a wall of shame website for this game. maybe even sort by 'dungeon finder cluster' so we can see which servers we are potentially getting players from, see a player on that list, and just leave the group right away

This is why I make sure to click on join in progress on dungeons I've done before. One group told me their tank left after fulfilling his FC hunting log or whatever. Just terrible.

A lot of tanks/healers don't click the join party in progress because they have fast queues. I was on my healer and our groups tank just quit the group after the first pull for no reason at all. I stuck around for the DPS' benefit because I main a BLM so I know we have long queue times. In 10 minutes there was not a single tank that joined in progress so the DPS just left the group. Kind of felt bad for them.

I play tank, even when I've been yelled at and complained about by DPS I still wouldn't consider doing something like this. Sorry there was a huge jerk out there making it his job to ruin your game time OP. If you can report this, it's total BS for anyone to behave like this!

[Caraway]

I main a tank myself and this kind of stuff is really sad to see.

But thankfully we do have something of a method for public shaming; The Lodestone. Post blog entries about the people you play with. If they're jerks shame them, if they're spectacular you should praise them!

Truth be told there are times when I get frustrated with some DPS being pushy and demanding things but even if I'm pushed to the point of leaving I'll at least give a few attempts to try and defuse the situation before leaving and re-queueing.

That is intentional hindering of your game play make sure you get a screenie next time and report.

It's not just tanks. As a healer myself Ive had the pleasure of dealing with other asshat healers. In one instance a healer started calling me a noob learn to heal you're a fuckig fag. Etc etc etc. because I was not playing his rotation. I've done the run numerous times and have never lost.

All the time he was degrading my "skills" and making himself out to be a god. I'm having to solo heal a 8 man run by myself. And then when someone dies. He says if it was me they would have lived. Being the person I am. I even healed him when he got aoe standing beside the tank on purpose just to take dmg.

The worst part is that even though he literally never cased a single cure. When we died on the second boss. Everyone blamed me for the loss. Because you know apparently a single healer can cure 2 tanks 4 DPS taking 14 adds solo and themselves from aggro. But this happens.

I asked numerous times to drop it and he never let it go. Gay. L2heal. You suck. I'm better. I use to love ff mmo's but honestly it's drawing a shitty crowd.

2nd edit. Also DF with a random tank. Ok guys I'm gonna AfK while you do the run. Right the. Deal with it. My que is instant. Lol /AfK. This literally happened.

Oh you can't kick in duty finder cause it would be rude. GG yoshi. You have created the ultimate troll bait game.

Maybe they should fix it so that nobody can leave an instance unless the whole party agrees. I guess it wouldn't stop people from just turning off thier computer if they really wanted to be lame, although maybe a manditory "you are still logged in" error for half an hour would take care of that.
Sorry to hear this story and many others like it.

I'm sorry that tank is giving the rest of us a bad name. Here's hoping we can friend players cross-server and set up LSs along with blacklisting tools we don't want to be paired with by the DF. I value my party members. Hope to see you in a dungeon one day.

[KittytheSheGeek]

What an asshat.

I had a situation the other day when I was tanking Haukke Manor. We get to the final boss, and about halfway through the fight, my ISP's connection goes haywire and the town loses internet for a couple of hours. My only hope is that they didn't get angry over something I had no control over.
