Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

One time I got into an in-progress Aurum Vale as a healer, and the party kept deliberately trying to wipe (it was obvious). The tank would pull and the two DPSes would run opposite directions grabbing their own mobs (3 groups of mobs, one on each person) and they kept doing this over-and-over. I figured this was all on purpose because any legit party would have had a tank screaming at people. Towards the end they admitted they were a premade that loves to troll healers.

Why thank you for sharing. AND we're on the same datacenter! If I see something like that, I shall give them what they want! I will let us wipe, over and over and over and over again.

I run as a tank because I expect 15 min clears.

Anything over 20 mins is too long.

30 is just ridiculous unless half the party is in greens.

Or you're running with a premade with friends in order to get that 15min.

Ran Seize multiple times last night on Aether, We (#Maelstrong) won the first two, after that the filthy sand merchants and tree huggers began win-trading for the next 6 matches. They even had ninjas camping our respawn, I reiterate, an Adder ninja and a flamer ninja working together camping kills at our respawn. Blatant win trading drives me bonkers. Guess We're too good to outright beat fair and square ;P

Like there's room for fairness in PvP :P

Titan HM in DF, I wanted to get the Yoshimitsu. OT didn't notice that he's the OT - but thank the heavens that he only tried to tank as he always fell down (and blamed laggs for it - in German although we had a lot of non-German speaking people there). One of the healers joined him in almost every attempt of killing Titan, nobody killed the gaol, the bard sang ballad when everyone was full on mana but was silent when the one good healer needed his song. Everyone standing in AOE like they were thinking that you get free beer if you eat enough damage, DPS was so low that our group couldn't finish off the heart before we got an echo boost of 20%. After we hit the 50% boost, we called it.

I sign in anew, hope for a better group - no, the healers were different ones, but the other DPS and the tanks were the same. Head meets desk. The bards leaves immediately, we try with three DPS, but no chance with this sucker of an OT.

I finally got my weapon by doing an unsynched run with three friends, should have considered that possibility earlier.

They've been doing that a lot lately. I PvP'd a lot yesterday, and I managed to get three wins in less than a couple hours. Someone must have whined in both their Gilg LS because the premades came along and basically spawn camped every match after that. They must be real proud to have to need their little voip groups to fight dirty in order to win against a pug.

Boss is a 4% health. Adds spawn. People focus on taking care of the adds isntead of killing the boss. (Hint. As a healer on my own I can do that 4% before the adds do anything interesting. Imagine how much faster it could be if the DPS actually DPS'd.)

Every time. 100% of the time. To a point where I tell people in chat to stay on boss.

But you can be sure as hell that they'll ignore ads when it really matters

Running Qarn Hard as AST to finish up my third relic to make it Zodiac.

1st time: Party waits as I get Protect/Stoneskin up on everyone. Tank gets ready to pull when I go Nocturnal Sect and put up a barrier on them, then switch to Diurnal Sect before they pull. They learn I do this and wait as I do this for pretty much every pull, which were big. No deaths, and we finish very quickly. No Zodiac item drop, though.

2nd time: Do same thing as first. Tank is a little squishy, but I work with it. Tank and DPS do excellent job all the way to the end. We kill boss, and still no item drop.

I love it when everyone knows what to do and we have a quick run.
