What is a BAD player?

I hate Tanks

Yes, yes, we get the message. You're a Bard and you don't like tanks. One of the reasons there are tanks that can't hold hate against you may be the fact that your weapon is higher ilvl than theirs and you given them no chance to build a small hate lead before you open up your initial damage burst which can rip hatred pretty successfully unless the tank has a lead or a good weapon. Not every player is lvl60 ilvl 200, so please have some consideration.

I'd also like to point out that being a tank is a relatively stressful job because a) people invariably blame the tank, b) people expect the tank to already know content even if they haven't run it before, c) some people expect mega pulls and rage when a tank isn't confident or up to it and d) too many players of other jobs would rather critique the tank over their gear or play instead of checking their own rotations.

I hate BLM's asking for Ballad. Who does this?

I hate Tanks who avoids aoe circles and let's it go to waste. OK, this is officially a troll post.

LOL, my superlative speed reading strikes again I missed these two gems (included above, underlined for clarity)...makes me wonder whether I should scrap my original reply.

The last one I'm fairly sure he means AoE circles like Asylum, Shadow Flare, Flaming Arrow, etc.

Regarding that, it seems you think xXRaineXx meant the enemies' AoEs, while I'm fairly certain s/he means those AoE circles Bards, Summoners and Scholars throw out (if I forgot one job with AoE circles, I'm sorry!) ^^

Edit: Sure, for SMN/SCH, they can just toss up another bubble in the place you end up in -- it's a waste of casting time, but doable. Unfortunately, the BRD can't just put another piece of the floor on fire for quite some time ^^; So I understand it's a pet peeve for them. On the other hand, the counter-argument could be:

I hate DPS who place AoE circles before the mobs are in place.

Do they clear the dungeons? If yes, your opinion means nothing. Pop a tranqulizer and live with it.

Exactly this. Put up a PF if you want super big and fast pulls. If you're going with DF, no one needs to play at your pace.

slow paced tanks are the worsts.

3. Tanks who pull with Provoke

You do know Provoke has a higher range than shield and tomahawk? like grabbing 2nd pack on 2nd island in Neverreap, its easier to voke to avoid the twister and flash/overpower when they are in range.

For me its just someone who doesn't treat the other players on the team like people - you know, just be friendly, understanding. I'm not going to be unhappy if someone makes a mistake, hasn't learned some mechanic yet, doesn't play their job to the fullest efficiency etc. I'm not talking raids here - with something like Alex there's a minimum expectation to be met - I don't care how skilled you are, if you make someone else feel like crap you hit the top spot of bad player for me.

The only bad players are the ones who refuse to improve, the ones satisfied with mediocrity. I'll help someone who has no idea what to do as long as they want to learn, as long as they try. What I can't stand is repeatedly wiping because of players that won't perform mechanics or fail to meet dps checks because they're playing the game "their way"

If you want the others to slow themselves down to your level instead of improving yourself, then you're a BAD player.

Nobody should have to force you. Speedrunning is the standard of the community right now. Do it, or you're a BAD player.

I can say the same about meathead tanks who think they're Superman and try to pull entire rooms full of enemies.

If the tank and the party members are capable to pull the entire rooms, I don't see anything wrong with it.
