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

Ran into a tank yesterday that ran around pulling every mob, then never used flash. So naturally the 2 dps seeing the PLD pulling 9 mobs start bombing AoEs, then all of thone mobs turn on DPS and kill them quickly. The PLD replies "WTF are you guys doing, attack what I am attacking" Communication seems to be a 4 letter word in DF these days. The speed run mentality doesn't help either, those who want SR never seem to ask or accept any other way.

Even if there was communication, DPS just attacking his target (without flash or halone rotations) wouldn't have worked, as with so many mobs on him the healer would have to be spamming big heals and all but the tank's target would soon have heals for lunch.

I hope you reported the person that did that, its a abuse of the game if I understand right. Well abuse of DF, I don't really care if its done in PF groups but you dont pull that crap in DF and expect everything will be fine.

TBH, it is just wasting your time to report anyone for any reasons leaving a content. ^^;
Definitely it is system design issue.

make a harassment ticket - problem solved...
he will not do it often after some suspending time without gaming!

unfortunately, its not harrassment. its an asshole move for sure, but SE will do approx. sh*t about it. they have already stated that players are under no obligation to finish a duty once its started and can leave for any reason and dont have to participate in the dungeon at all. they could literally join up and sit at the entrance collecting gil until you boot them and SE wouldnt do a damn thing about it

That my friend is not true, well... need to search the dev posting but i rember to have information that tells opposite!

Have not found yet, maybe it wasnt on lodestone...
Untill i have found it consider me talking wrong and you are right.

I wanted to let you know that the team is currently looking into ways to counteract this behavior. If you encounter a player that is going AFK specifically in an attempt to be dismissed, please be sure to report this to the GMs.

I haven't had anyone try to get kicked after the first two bosses yet but they should divide both tome rewards equally between all three bosses in my opinion. If you want the last boss to be extra significant then make it so you only get body drops (and maybe legs) from them and leave it at that. If you put all the tomes into the last boss we will just have another problem with people playing the CT withdraw game until they get an in process run.

As for the speed run issue, Brayflox HM is getting a bit silly now, people are trying to make it 3-4 pulls for the whole dungeon. Missing out the chests is annoying to me as well as I'm trying to gear up secondary jobs and the darklight is useful. Not only that but SE did seem to put an anti speed run mechanic in to Brayflox anyway with the Glider mobs, they seem to have random aggro so if the tank pulls 27 of them at once they will attack me on BLM even if I don't have hate at all on them. The tank might be able to take the pain but I can't on BLM and I find that's what's causing most of my wipes in Brayflox, the healer ends up having to heal me and the tank and it's too much, I can't even help out by reducing enmity as I didn't have hate in the first place.

I think that if you're capped on soldiery for the week, the soldiery drops should be converted to myth. Problem solved, people will want to kill the last boss.

Well...

But that was not really successful :/

Yeah this right here. As a healer I really wish tanks and DPS would understand that this is a tricky part, the goblin glider's Glider Rush, ignores hate and attacks a random party member, and hits hard. As a SCH this can completely overwhelm as our only big heal is Lustrate, and it's single target, if aether flow is on cool down, it can easily cause a wipe.

Even when I am doing well in a speed run, this room is almost always a wipe. But the times I'm doing s speed run and here the tank goes one or two packs at a time it goes quick... gee almost like trying to pull the whole room ISN'T the fastest way to do it.

I don't even know how to report someone on FF14, tried to report those gil spammers with many fails lol.

This is now my most despised dungeon, I don't want to do it every time I roulette but it keeps happening every time anyways.

Asked the party if they wanted to speed-run, two said yes, one said nothing. So I was like "Okay, SMN and DRG should do okay, these are both of my main DPS classes, I know they can do some good AoE together."



SMN says her controller is broken and cannot use Shadow Flare...Okay, no problem, they've still got Enkindle, Garuda's AoE attacks, Bane, and several DoTs. No problem...
She never used Bane once in two of the pulls, took 10 minutes to kill about 6 enemies.

Starting to look bad...

The DRG was doing nothing but the Thrust combos, no Phlebotomize, no Disembowel combo, nothing. Just Thrusts and Jump, over and over again. Heavy Thrust occasionally.

I refused to do a dungeon where the DPS is barely doing anything, it's unbelievable how people will willingly go into dungeons, not do rotations, not do combos, have "broken controllers" and all this other nonsense, and expect others to deal with it for hours on end, or at least until the timer runs out and you waste all that time like in another failed Lost City of Amdapor run because both black mages were still in their 45 Job gear. Don't go into Duty Finder if you can't use your class or play well, please go practice on Levequests and Guildhests christ.
