The Scourge of Eorzea: Fair Weather Tanks

[Kumori_Kumo]

My BF, an Astrologian, queues up for his daily Trial Roulette. It's Bismarck! There's one new player, a Monk. I watch over his shoulder as both tanks see that notice and leave. Then the other healer. Then the rest of the DPSes, so the only ones standing before the might of Bismarck are a pope-hatted catboy and a crouching punch-mechanic who probably didn't see the "Warrior of Light's various allies cower and leave" plot twist coming.

I immediately log in, slap into the queue for an in-progress fight, the others filter in within a minute and we make light work of the thing. Five minutes, maybe. This is what they were afraid of?

Don't roll tank if you don't wanna fight shit! >=I

WHAT AN INTERESTING AND FASCINATING TALE PLEASE TELL US MORE.

Snip

Okay! Then I met this goofy monkey-faced kid who couldn't find his shift key!

[Dhex]

SHIFT WHATS SHIFT?

[Phoenicia]

Come on, the story can't end there, Can it!? What happened to this Shift-unfinding monkey-face goofus?

[Kumori_Kumo]

Come on, the story can't end there, Can it!? What happened to this Shift-unfinding monkey-face goofus?

They say he still roams the land to this day, looking for his beloved lost Shift key...

[Phoenicia]

Such.... a sad tale.

Was one of them named Brave Sir Robin?

Because a lot of the filthy casuals out there are still coping with their PSTD of Bismark when they first attempted it as young and innocent level 57s while still clutching to their i130 Dreadwyrm gear like some kind of safety-blanket, only to have Almighty Bismark make them his property in a very rough and non-pleasurable way. Their torment, it seemed like it would never end until one day, in one lucky DF, A-Guy-Who-Knew-What-He-Was-Doing delivered them from this evil flying whale. Since that day, each of the filthy casuals swore they will never face the dreaded Bismark again... Until one day, DF placed them in a group to face their nightmares again. With AGWKWHWD nowhere in sight, needless to say, the group of filthy casuals fled in order to scoop their feces out of their pants.

Not only Bismark, but you will also find this kind of behavior in Ravana, Steps of Faith, Chrystalis, King Moggle Mog, Titan... and their first guildhest.

TLDR: Working as intended

Yup, they should make it so that the one you get into for the day, is the one and only.

if you get out, better luck for a different dungeon/trial tomorrow, it's your loss of tomes and gil.

then, perhaps then, people will leave a whole lot less.

*By the way, I don't approve of your "filthy Casuals" bashing. Lots comes from Veterans/hardcore players that are too bored with trying to re-explain the fight, or fed up with the same trial over-and-over, or simply just don't care.

Some of us Casuals are trying our best, and I for one, will stay until the timer can go off, unless it's obvious that after 3 attempts, there ain't no way to make it, and then vote abandon is your ally.
