I have never been kicked from a raid/dungeon in this game yet and I've been playing since ARR closed beta

I haven't been kicked I have watched people get booted.

News flash there wasn't any kick option in the closed beta, are you sure you played closed beta?

"Time to step back and realize that maybe you're the problem and not the rest of the community"

Never been kicked myself always won my fights unless someone didn't know how to dodge and I never leave when we lose I stay till they get it.
Though I feel now since you said this line you maybe one of those elites always quick to assume never anyone elses fault but the other person that they kick even if the person they kick stays alive longer than most.
Though quick to say DPS too low or they wasn't dodging and yet everyone else dies and their alive, I don't say a word and laugh to myself and once they kick they all leave instead lets put down the guy before leaving yep sad.

How long have you played FFXI? Cause I know since the very beginning of FFXI since twinkling treants nobody held anyones hand, when new players came they joined LS and was showed the ropes.
I didn't see anyone asking to be rushed for GIL like here in FFXIV not until, the only time anyone ever paid for anything was a craft or teleport or a warp 2 and a raise if they were in the middle of no where land.

I see people asking to be rushed past content on FFXIV even in the PF board people asking for GiL to beat it for them lol



nothing against you but I don't feel like dragging this on any longer than it already has.

Achievements are open if you care enough to click to the last page and check dates if you don't believe me.

Because automatically assuming the rest of the group is at fault rather than examining your own weaknesses or faults = I'm somehow quick to assume it's nobody else's fault. Your train of thought is all over the place.

Really, you never encountered LS's that merced stuff like ground kings for ebodies/Ace's helm etc? Like I said, you played a completely different FFXI from what I remember.

Honestly, for Praetorium I do not mind the cutscenes. Castrum is just so long and tedious that it's more of a case that "I signed up to do it much much slower." It's pretty much the last stand of that portion of the MSQ so it's great to see you face and take down (so easily) Gaius with your badass group. Last night I queued into MSQ Roulette and saw that there was at least 1 new person (one being one of the whm, the other whm had only 3.8k hp). I didn't mind cutscenes at all and was the better geared tank. I voiced that I didn't mind a slower pace even when some BLM mentioned that people should watch it in the inn. I'd rather take it slow than die on a stupid pull. But the other tank ran off and the healers followed. Not much I can do about that at that point. It was just amusing to rip hate in sword oath not using provoke or flight or fight off the other tank.

Pleasantly enough, I queued into Stone Vigil NM for my low level roulette. It should have been quite obvious that I was there for exp but w/e. The tank had their novus(ormaybeitwasnexus) and the WHM was using their atma. The other DD was in a similar situation as I was. They tried to sac pull but failed to do it to the first boss so we killed a few things. At that point I realized that the BLM didn't really know the more useful rotation (Using only Fire 3. Then Blizzard or Freeze and then Blizzard 3). I asked or told them that they should use just Fire 3 once and then Fire 1 until just enough MP to then use Blizzard 3. He asked why, didn't get really offended. The whm said something about MP and I said that it was more efficient and better. He tried it out, fixing his hotbars all the same. Said "oh I see now." Then we sac pulled again to the 2nd boss and he got lost. That was fine... until he returned and ended up locked out of the 2nd fight. We ended up finishing SV, no one left. No one rage quit even though the tank and whm were more interested in speed runs than allowing us to get the exp we were sorta hoping for. It was still better than queuing into an otherwise-empty-but-for-this-one-monk Stone Vigil.

Seriously, I run FCOB and we insist on seeing the new cutscenes, even when some people have already seen it. The one time skipping was insisted upon was when it was Monday night, 3 hours to reset and we wanted as much practice in t12 as possible.
