I have to agree with this post. I was recently kicked from A4 as well, unjustly.

I watched every video I could find, and read several guides before going in. I was by no means blind. But watching a video and actually immersing yourself in a raid are two different experiences, especially as melee DPS (DRG) who has to be up-close and personal with the boss, which happens to be enourmous, which makes positioning the camera to keep an eye on the party incredibly difficult.

I thought I was doing okay. My DPS was fine, I wasn't failing to any mechanics that I could see. No one said a word.

We wiped. No one said a word again.

We wiped again.

I got torn into for not knowing what I was doing. Before I could even ask what I'd done wrong, I was kicked.

How is that fair? How does that help? I was left feeling so defeated that I have yet to try again. I just want to play and practice and get better like everyone else. Everyone is new to the content at some point, FFS.
