This is the end.

I believe 2 forums that shall go unnamed are chiefly responsible for cultivating this climate of antisocial behavior, one of which was also responsible for fomenting a toxic climate in FFXI. The people in these forums aggressively promote a cookie-cutter mentality in the name of "efficiency" and seem to be OK with people berating others from straying the slightest from this orthodoxy.

That other Bard had absolutely no right to go after this guy as long as thing were going well in the dungeon. As bad as this situation got, I can only imagine what things would look like if parsers were implemented.

i know it lowers your DPS. it was just an act of were smashing the mobs really fast why not let the Healer have some fun. And even if they use AOE dps it cost's a lot of mana. But yeah your right about the DPS drop. i also had wanderers minuet up to kinda get rid of it.

If you want to let a healer DPS and have some fun, use Foe's instead. Then what nukes they can toss can count for 10% more. And its no cost of damage to you.

Never quit a game because of people you dont know, and you will never see again.

Whenever i meet people like that, i always see them as an act of entertainment, because i find them very laughable and they actually make me feel alot better.

I'll admit that I quit for two months because of an issue I was having with my damage out. I play totally different now; one way being that I don't volunteer to join anything battle-related unless it's a 4-man dungeon.

Another "I quit, love me so I don't quit" thread.

Seriously though, you might not even meet them on the next run, even if they're on your server you can just blacklist them and be done with it.

I don't care who's right or wrong, but if that's all what it takes to make you quit, then I don't think you like the game that much anyway.

Play on a Japanese Server lol.

That's insane. You don't have to be the best player to enjoy all the content. Sure, Extreme/Savages may be a pain, but even so you can ask in-game friends for a try. Volunteer, if they kick you, blacklist and queue again. I'm so done with elitist people irl and yet it seems we gotta handle this type of thing here too everyday.

Dude you were in a 4 man dungeon and got stuck with TWO bards for dps??? Really...wow

That's even more of a reason NOT to be Ballading.

In general, you shouldn't be using Ballad in dungeons unless the healer (or sometimes the tank) is really scraping the bottom of their MP. If you want to boost their DPS, use Foe's Req instead. That won't hurt your DPS in the process.

@OP

I know that it sucks being kicked from a dungeon, especially for no reason. You will run into jerk players, that's just how it works in every game. But I believe you're overreacting. If you've played since the beginning, one instance of being kicked by some egotistical players isn't a reason to quit altogether.

Thanks!

I wasn't aiming to be the best, but being DPS, it was expected from others. I tried switching to PLD, but people gave little room for learning/mistakes. The way I play now allows for two things:

- I can play at my own pace and progress accordingly.
- Instead of keep pushing when frustration kicks in, I can not log off and play something else with no regrets.

How DARE people expect others to be up to par and not a detriment to the team.
