Unjust Kicking from Alexander T4

[FudoMyoo]

DF (which includes end game contents of the new Alex normal according to you)

IMO the player attitude plays a big part. I usually start the DF with a {Hello} and immediately inform the party {This is my first time here}

[Nekodar]

I do blind runs in DF. If I keep failing I'll ask party member advise, then ask FC advice then if I still fail, I'll read a guide. (or watch a video guide)

As for those saying Japanese using PF to learn mechanics of a new dungeon, I seriously doubt so. I have never seen PF looking for a learning party for Dusk Vigil/Sohm Al and Avery.

It's not about learning a new dungeon that is made to be reasonably easy because it's meant for levelling.
It's about learning a bit harder fights that require coordination and some level of skill. Like Alexander. It's all fairly easy IF you know what to do, but there seems to be a mentality that says if you can enter with DF, you can go in blind and faceroll it.

OP

Just queue "party in progress" to get into the same group... trolololol

There was a comment posted several months ago about how the community base was in this game compared to other mmo's. This was the reply. "Final Fantasy XIV Online has one of the most toxic community I have ever seen in a MMO" I don't know about you guys but that's really a disturbing review. I've read that comment on several reviews for this game. Will do some digging to find the the source, but the fact that the comment was even made is disturbing.

I can just agree with the Review. At the Start i had very friendly Players but when i hit 50 i was hit with such a big Wave of Toxic Behaviour i stopped Playing for a whole Day straight because i didn't want to experience that again. The Community here is on par with the Community from World of Warcraft and that's something where Players should take some Time and think about it. WoW basically wins the Award for "the worst Community in a Online Game" every Year.

Do you really want to see how Yoshi will get this Award? He will be so "proud".

It's a vote, no ?
If the majority decided to kick, it's their right, no ?
If the community is too toxic for some people, you can quit and play a more friendly game, no ?
And yeah, I seriously hope you can find 1. Oh wait there's hello kitty online

Not brand new lollllllll yes since 2 weeks old is not new at all and everyone needs to be a vet by the time less then 2 weeks rolls around yea? jeez all i can say is ppl need to chill out and if you expect ppl to watch vids and know every lil thing make your own party

First day it's brand new... two weeks in, it's starting to collect dust. It's still new, but not brand new.

The main point however;
If you're going to begin by asking how the fight works anyway, save yourself some time and frustration by looking it up before entering... Then you can at least ask for specifics that you didn't understand from just reading.
I certainly don't expect you to know every detail, but if you've looked it up before entering, you have at least some understanding of what's going to happen in the fight.

I agree that the kick was unjust. You made the mistake once. Not over and over. Plus you were new.

However, they're not obligated to type out all the mechanics for you (a random pug), just like you're not obligated to know the mechanics. It bugs me when newbies rage at vets for not holding their hands. I know you didn't rage - I'm just saying that it's a pet peeve of mine when it does happen.

It's not hand holding. . .

don't you feel so good about yourself.... in a game that's almost completely PvE. Here's a cookie

The expectations in pf are whatever random group decides is the problem. People joining df should be prepared for anything.

Also, OP didn't want to go in blind. He wanted the group to type up a guide for him. He can't say he doesn't understand guides when he didn't even try to watch one. Also, some guides I find extremely confusing while others I find do a better job breaking down fights. If you don't understand one find another. At least the effort is made.

You are very kind to take time to explain fights but you shouldn't feel obligated to.

Plus there's always your FC to ask if all else fails.
