The Duty Finder is not your personal Brayflox Hard myth farming service.

Kidvideo It use to be in 1.0 you could get extra chests at the end of dungeons for doing certain things. Kill all mobs, certain mobs, beat within a reasonable time frame, found all other chests in dungeon, etc. It wasn't too hard to get all of the extra chests at the end. They could make a chest for tomes, that would be interesting.

Report him, kick him. There are more than enough people looking for in progress runs to cap soldiery who would like his spot.

One report might not be enough for the GMs to do anything, but by the time he's at 10 or so...

I'm starting to dread getting Brayflox HM on my roulette. I got it yesterday and the WHM of the group wanted a speed-run, telling me to pull as much as I can, whereas I'm fine taking my time when I tank. We get near the first boss and the BLM of our group AFKs for a minute to answer the door. Unsurprisingly, Mr.GOTTA-GO-FAST! decides to vote-kick him for being AFK, and for whatever stupid reason the DRG votes to kick him as well. I tell both of them to piss off and abandoned duty. I'm sorry, but if someone AFKs because their doorbell rings, I don't believe that's deserving of a vote-kick. Some people, ugh...

I dread it on the roulette now as well, especially right after the weekly reset. Too many people who think that everyone queueing will be able to handle pulling almost everything up to the first boss, and making the run take twice as long as if we just did it normally.

Love this! I feel like I'm the only one who wants to kill everything, rather than avoid those mobs you can sneak past... I also wouldn't mind seeing drops randomized chests & mobs. Maybe a chest gives gil one run & that mob that's usually avoided drops the gear everyone is running the dungeon to get.

its especially annoying when ur tanking and the people telling you to pull everything definitely can't handle you pulling everything... I examine everyone if I DF the speed-run tracks (WP/AK/BL). There are certain things that are red flags.

or when people just refer to you as "tank"...

"tank", pull the whole room...
"tank" do this, do that....

Uuuuuuuugh!

I really... REALLY hope I'm the only person that has run into this.

I join Brayflox Hard through the DF looking to do some soldiery runs rather than all of the myth speed runs on my server. We finish the second boss and everyone starts running to the next set of mobs... except one guy.

Apparently too lazy/stupid to form his own group through the party finder for farming myth tomes he joins groups through the duty finder and then expects each group to either abandon the duty or kick him and then sit around waiting for a replacement to pop up.

This has to be one of the most selfish things I have ever seen the duty finder used to accomplish. There wasn't even a half ass attempt at a "my FC needs me" of "my house is burning down" cover story, he just plainly said he was only interested in the myth tomes and stood there until he realized we were going to drag his sorry ass to the boss whether he liked it or not.

I've had similar experiences multiple times already *-*
Where people just rush off and expect the rest to follow. Multiple times ( 3 to be exact if I remember correctly) it was tanks doing this. Then they get past first boss to the caged goblins, pull the ENTIRE room of mobs to the secret entrance that's opened after you rescue the goblins and just spam die. Then they rage quit/healer rage quits and the group quits lol
Cuz apparently non-speed runs are worth rage quitting over z.z

Edit: And other times it's been healers going "omfg why no speed run" or DPS pulling mobs on their own to rush the tank. It's just sad really :x

One last edit: Though I have yet to see anyone just drop out after second boss 8D

Didn't read it all. But I think that would be pretty stupid to up and leave after the second boss. Did they remove the 30 min penalty? Didn't think so, So that is his loss. I mean seriously the run take 15-20mins using Duty Finder. Someone would rather wait an extra 20-25mins, than to finish the rest of the dungeon that would only take 5-10mins. Let these people be dumb.

Had a BRD do this today.

This just means some very lucky dps that got the in progress queue just got some easy soldiery tomes. I need to remind myself to always check the in progress box later in the week.

I suspect we are going to get a myth boost come 2.3, much like philo got boosted w/ the introduction of 2.1, myth rewards getting upped in each dungeon, and roulette bonuses increasing as well. This will allow slower progression up until then and allow more catch up during the new patch. I don't expect a soldiery cap increase (like myth was) this time around however. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the model they use up until the first expansion, and maybe beyond, depending on how progress is done at that point.

and they likely ended up wasting more time waiting for another tank. some people are so impatient their a hindrance to their own progression.
