But if you are wondering so, no I didn't do research, because to me it was just a game that i bought for my birthday, didn't have much time to play so i skipped through a lot of the tutorials and was learning on my own time. i didnt even really know i was getting into a dungeon when it started and suddenly boom there i was with other people, trying my best to figure out why they were all mad. I assumed that I'd be mostly playing solo until i figured out the mechanics at my own pace. It was a game, and i found myself in an awkward situation that could have been less awkward if the people were just nice to me. I was more than willing to learn, but they didn't help.

    Well then, I would think you brought it upon yourself. In the first dungeon you have very little to do. You should know how all your skills (The very few you have at that point) work by then.

    Now, having trouble keeping enmity as a GLD in Sastasha is completely normal, but not knowing what Flash does due to not reading and not listening to the tutorials is you and every newbies own fault.

    I even remember very specifically that one of the GLD quests talks about how Flash is supposed to be used. It's not hard to see how that's useful in a group situation.

    I just looked it up real quick for fun.

    "Bruce: Well, I can't keep the lad/lass from gettin' skewered, but I'll patch him/her up best I can.

    Mylla: (player name), defend Bruce. He knows powerful healing magicks, but he cannot employ them unless you keep all your enemies occupied. Do not forget to use your Flash technique.

    Bruce: Aye, I'm countin' on you to keep those bastards away from me. Watch me back and I'll watch yours."


    Yup, not knowing what Flash does is a very poor excuse.

    A pity that the class quests are easy and most of the time let you slide without paying too much attention. They even give you echo right from launch for these quests so you can brute force things while ignoring most of the quest if you fail. I found this out while trying to finish the dragoon quest when I didnt have a vpn to keep my connection stable. I took every single aoe the drg in the final quest aimed at me and I died multiple times and each time I kept getting stronger. Would have been better if the game didn't let me pass just like that, even if latency was the one holding me back.

    Hmm.. Yeah.. But i still read everything for my class/job quests, including what they tell you during battle. It certainly does help you learn your job. Again, I'm saying that "Oh i skipped the tutorials" is a horrible excuse.

    But theres many resources they can look up to help themselves, finding more indepth explanations of what to do rather than hoping randoms in DF will explain how to play their role. Players giving advice isn't a necessity or a right, it's a bonus. Why should someone stop and type out what the person could have easily found out beforehand? The info is the same, difference is that it doesn't put expected demands on other players.

    Why should you expect randoms in DF to explain something you could have easily found out yourself? Show some initiative. Also theres a difference in "Games" solo player games, you can do what you want, multiplayer games, what you do affects others too. It's upto you if it's positive or negative, being lazy is negative.

    just typed in FFXIV ARR guide to tanking and got this:

    Seconds to find.
