When/Why were you vote kicked?

It's not the last time I was kicked, but the story was my first time. In sastasha NM. I was running the dungeon for the first time ever, as a healer. And FFXIV was my very first MMORPG. I had no clue as to what any of the terms enmity/tank/dps and such referred to. I had also absolutely no clue about what should be my job as a WhM in a dungeon. So far, I had only played solo, and couldn't know that not all players could cure themselves. By default, I thought we all could.And as soon as I entered, I switched to "Cleric Stance" and I remember something like "Nice, we're gonna have a dps'ing whm". ---> "No clue what you're talking about but suuure !"

We reach first pack of trash. I DPS like my life is at stake, and think "whoah, they have a lot of hp compared to the ones on the map". After a minute or so, the tank obviously dies, followed closely by everyone else and I think " They also hit harder"...

And here we go again, the tank asks then why I wouldn't heal. The only answer was obviously "Do I have to ?". And then the 3 other players explain me the roles for each. Tank/DPS/Healer. I say "Okaaay" and we start running, the tank gets to the mob and then I start spamming cures on what I thought was the tank, but was actually a dps.
Another wipe, and then I get to understand the tank was that guy with the blue icon. There we go again, third time.... Spamming cures on the actual tank this time, I ran OoM in no time. Wipe again.

At that point, I was kicked (very politely though) after a short discussion, and after they gave me some links about "roles" to look into.

Unforgettable run, really.

I've never been kicked personally but I have a great 1 for my friend. When we all started playing, we were on ps3 (before the ps4 version even launched). This was also before auto skip cutscenes. He was kicked from Praetorium on 3 separate occasions because the loading time on ps3 was too slow for their little speed run. It's not like he was watching the scenes either. He was skipping them as fast as the load time would allow. He would get locked out of boss fights and subsequently kicked. Smh

Unforgettable run, really.

I laughed so hard I cried when I read this. I had a similar experience.

I queued Sastasha the 1st time as gladiator and the "finding party members" screen listed me as a TANK. I thought "I wonder what a 'TANK' is" but the duty started before I could look into it. Then I stood there wondering, "Why isn't anyone moving?" After like 30 seconds I started walking and everyone followed me. I was like, "Hmm that's weird"

There was a convo about someone needing advice, the THM mentioned possibly giving up, I had no idea what they were talking about. Someone said "no giving up" and we moved on.

Luckily, I looked up "tank" on the internet after that dungeon run. I wish they had explained or kicked me, but I have to give them a lot of credit for being so nice. Serious troopers.

It's pretty bad that you could get to Satasha without learning your role in the group. SE should maybe have an active help window explaining the roles.
