Seen this loads lately i think since it became easier to carry in final coil loads more carry groups popped up and prices went down so everyone and his Mother have some Dreadwyrm if they have the Gil to pay for it. Seems all i encounter in EXDR or random DF EX Primal runs lately are these entitled Tanks with some Dreadwyrm who are awful and when you call them out they start inspecting you like "Oh nice raid gear lololol" and the sad thing is a lot of people in DF think gear = good so they go along with whatever that Tank is saying even if things are their fault.

Best Tank i ever encountered in EXDR was barely over the minimum ilvl for it but they were a beast. Hardly took damage and even going all out with Holy i could not pull aggro off them and nor could a BLM or heavily geared NIN. It puts a lot in perspective when some max geared Tank loses aggro and starts calling everyone else noobs.

Not always with Tank either, but every class.

If I see you in Dreadwyrm the first thing that comes up to my head is the word "Elitist" honestly. I know, I know that some of you had cleared it yourself and are not elitists at all but the impression I got from those full set Dreadwyrm? Not very pleasant.

Considering you have cleared all of coils and gone through the hardest content, why can't you be patient when a party wipes? Because noobs?

Guess what? You were also once a noob and screwed up hard.

I'm actually quite patient on Duty Finder wipes, as usually people know what the issue(s) were or you got people seeing the content for the first time even if they read/watched up on it.

I was doing Titan EX in DF a few weeks ago for the fun of it and it took a few wipes to get it cleared. After each one I mentioned some simple feedback without emotion. Like we needed the healer gaol broken as soon as the knockback occurs because we kept dying to that, killing the adds on the east side to avoid sludge mess, then another how some people should "get inside" the dodge bomb during the X/+ pattern to avoid the lethal damage. There wasn't much I can really say about not falling off aside from being attentive and being at the right place, people generally know how that works. But every now and then you get some hasty person saying how bad someone is at dodging or what not, I ignore it.

Now compare this to when I hosted Titan EX farm parties for ponies, in which I believe the tolerance for mistakes is much lower because it is expected everyone has the content on the "I got this!" level. Sure, crap happens sometimes and that is ok even with a full competent party but overall the runs are clears without full wipes.
