Boy, have I got a doozie for you guys!



Today, I was levelling my WHM after getting my SCH and AST to Lv. 60. After getting into a levelling roulette queue, I find myself paired up with a French DRK and NIN, and a SMN who I could understand. The tank kept losing aggro to me just from me applying my DoTs and slapping Regen on him after he finished a pull. The run moved at a snail's pace, all while the DRK and NIN were talking to each other in their native tongue while I tried to tune it out or encourage them to at least speak in English since they did show some understanding of the language.

Skip ahead to Coincounter (you can already see where this is heading). Just from maintaining my DoTs, HoT, and DPSing, I kept pulling aggro from the DRK. Even after using Shroud of Saints, the boss finds its way back to me. To make matters worse, the DRK and NIN keep on dying to 100-tonze Swing. I asked why the tank was losing aggro to me, which he responded with "maybe there's a reason " After four wipes and some words exchanged between the DRK and NIN in their mother language, I decided I had enough and initiated a vote dismissal against the tank for hindering the run's progress after I explicitly told him why he was ruining the experience for the party. It passed, and soon after the NIN left leaving me alone with the SMN who sympathized and communicated with me. It was funny to see the NIN leave too, as I assumed they were friends with the DRK. Those two players were the weakest links in that party, and the SMN and I were glad to be rid of them.

After that, a lolDRG joined us and I got help from a FC WAR to clear the rest of the dungeon with his Savage Raid-tier tanking and balls-to-the-wall mass pulls. The moral of the story: never be afraid to exercise a kick against the weakest links if it's for the betterment of the party, especially against French players who are too bad at the game to carry.

Before anyone asks, I'm xenophobic against the majority of French players due to similar experiences in the past. It's a shame because there's a minority of them who are actually decent, but a large portion of them are absolutely dreadful.
