Look what just happened in Duty !

Snip.

Saves time, really. Also I mentioned progression because before then, there were little to no guides released on endgame (unless you did 1.0 and had prior knowledge of Garuda and Ifrit). You were FORCED to learn by doing. Now? Nope. You're more than capable of finding this easily accessible information before jumping into an encounter completely blind. This also saves your booty from the obligatory Scumbag Steve who starts moaning the instant someone has to take a minute or two explaining a mechanic. Even if you learn by doing (I can't really relate, since I learn by observing), it's really helpful for you to know what exactly you're getting into... before you get into it. Since you literally SEE the mechanic before it happens.

I really don't understand what's so complicated to understand.


It says "unjustified use" is punishable.

When you votekick someone, you have to tick one of the following reasons:

AFK
Offline
Harassment
Cheating

Therefore, if you use the kick feature without one of these justification, you're abusing it.


If you believe the guy is trying to ruin your game, then it's harassment, and you're entiteled to kick him.
If not, then you are the one griefing him.



As for guides, maybe some people like to do homework before playing, or enjoy youtube more than the actual video game (why are they paying a sub, then?), but there are those who enjoy discovering the game while playing, and don't want to know everything that's coming before they actually got to play. Or just find homework boring, and are paying their sub to have fun instead of being offline researching.

Yes, some players made guides and videos.
No it's not compulsory to watch them before playing.

The first guys who beat a fight didn't have any guides at their disposal. Just because someone is not a "wold first-er" doesn't mean his own game experience should not be as enjoyable as theirs.

Just wanted to add my personal story:

This is my first MMO, I went from knowing nothing in June to knowing quite a lot now and I'm not a bad SMN, now doing end-game stuff. But now I want to learn tanking, so I'm leveling a GLD that is lvl 22. But… the thing is, I'm so afraid of other people saying rude things to me that I don't dare to enter through DF. The same is true about my WHM, lvl 34. I only play these classes when people in my FC have time to run low-level dungeons with me. The irony in the situation is that both tanks and healers are needed in the DF :P

I don't want to level through FATEs or so since I think doing dungeons is the best way to learn your role. But I don't dare enter through DF since I don't want to be hurt by mean comments or getting kicked or something if I can't hold aggro or if someone dies while I heal or so. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Snip.

Yay! That's very nice of you I'll contact you next time I'm online (tomorrow most likely). I wish there were more ppl like you.

[Zakalwe]

That is your own interpretation, no where does it actually state that you are not allowed to kick for lack of performance.

Find me the line that says..........................."Kicking people because they suck is against TOS and is abuse"

It also doesn't say kicking people just because they are Lolafells is not permitted. Some are confusing SE's statement that only specific enumerated reasons are permitted for kicking as also requiring an exhaustive list of all prohibited reasons. It's not that kind of list.

I feel for you OP. Thankfully the majority of players are not like the villian in your tale. Although as time goes on, there seem to be more & more filtering through to our beloved gaming communities.

I'm sure I'm not the only old timer who harkens back to a time when we all found it distasteful or down right disgusting to play with another man's duty. These days, it seems the young kids just roll around in it or throw it at each other for fun.

[MikoteAstra]

Lol so ur saying girls and kids can't be hardcore? what a joke.

You misunderstood me !
What i wanted to tell is that you cant know what purson exactly sits in front of the pc and his skill, you people are jsut focused on girl too much ! Example my mam plays too, i can tell you you can pull your hair off if you dont have nerves when you play with her, she stubron and learns slow in the game, or i let my little cousin plays and is fully different story absolute pro!
People are different and learn in a different way also they got different skills and reaction!

Im sorry if made the misuderstanding, it was not intended to say that girls are bed players!

[MikoteAstra]

Hey get back to me when you burn 12 hours straight on your day off in Titan HM due to people not being properly prepared and winging the fight.

Typical blaming on people for daing on Titan HM. The entire introduction with the Relic quest and HM Titans is poorly made, with almost no information what you are going to expect! Not to mention that Ifrit and Garuda can be passed with normal 50 gear! New players including me, we are all dump founded once we get to titan, all of a sudden the difficulty is up not to mention MAIN reason people daing on Titan HM are the stupid servers of the game or the lagg in it! Ive seen people getting out of the plumps secs befor they are finished and after that they died !
