Just Tank Things

[Sorata]

I dont know if you can say that's being reasonable. Why queue for a dungeon if you are tired and sleepy? And let's face it, as soon as you say "I don't care", you are going to piss people off.

I'm with Darkslayer on this one. I didn't see the whole conversation (at work, can't watch the youtube video), but the tank's response is a bit snarky. Did you guys establish it's a quick run right at the beginning? If the tank is sleepy and grumpy, he should stay out of DF. The party consent was to fight the rest of the dungeon, it seems. In a democratic situation, it's 3 against 1 isn't it? The party voted by action.

Yeah. If you're tired, go to bed. Don't keep playing a game and expect everyone to rush through for your sake.

How about a little back story on this? Are you all lvl 50's running a low level roulette for tomes? If so why waste time opening junk chests with potions and cheap crafting mats? Or are you a mixed group where people can benefit from the xp? Did you agree to a quick run? Are you all in a lvl 50 dungeon and the tank is bypassing chests preventing the party from a chance at upgrades? With no history and only a screenshot of a few sentences who knows what was happening.

The video isn't a breakdown of the chat, it's a snarky video response using a movie clip.

Also, the tank should have just left. Still, the point of DF is to find a party to clear a dungeon with, anything beyond that and you're expecting way too much. If you want a group that will clear the whole dungeon of every enemy, make a group with PF. If you want quick, easy straight shot runs, make a group through PF. Both sides here were expecting way more than what is considered usual for a dungeon run, then tried to impose that expectation on a complete stranger.

Well, at least the tank didn't whine about it on the forums afterwards...

Real question is what does farming Atma have to do with chocobos

It's amazing exp for your chocobo, especially if you're farming the 45-50 FATEs. I got my chocobo from rank 3 to 6 just from this Atma farm.

You didn't miss anything. It was the YouTube equivalent of a reaction .gif

I don't really see why this is something worthy putting on the forums in the first place. It doesn't maatter if it's a tank/dps/healer, when a person is tired he tends to be a bit more harsh or carelss with his response. Things like this happens all the time and i honestly don't think you should single out tanks if you're gonna address this issue. Why not address the larger issues of bots and gil sellers while you're at it? printscreen that and post it on the forums, lol. If every player were to be given a reaction to every time they said something that sounded careless we'd all be here.

Also why even post the youtube clip? self promotion? - waste anyways

oh i thought i caught more of the chat log,

basically he just kept telling us to skip mobs otherwise he was leaving, but we joined for the exp and asked him to kill the mobs, first area he did, then on the second rooms he was taking a hissy on the chat box, threatening to leave if we didnt so whatever he ordered and such. just thought i caught more which woulda made this make more sense.

+ its just the irony of the whole tank issue people are having, when theyre leaving for silly reasons and then thinking they're a hierachy. i did this dungeon before with a titan-egi and i had to do it again with a titan-egi.

That's more like it. I agree with you, the tanks have a bit too much "power" when it comes to Duty finder and groups in general. He will get the 30 min penalty, aside form that i don't know how one should strike them down from the throne.

Kinda wanted to get a different youtube response to it, but i couldnt think of any other because we just didnt go through the shifts and i tanked the adds. lol
