idk if i mentioned this butr

I was lvling my pgl in haukke manor, itr was me a monk and tanl/healer. The tank was doing ok pulling a bit awkward in positions but decent.
Ran through no deaths, get to the boss fight everyone ignores lamps but me and i was the only death. I get raised.

The other monk just says wtf suck dps azazura" then leaves. I just sit there blinking for a sec. Then reported him for possible parser use :P

In my defence i was a pugilist @ lvl 28 to his 32/33 monk. I'm new to the class and not use to shifting positions per hit, but I was trying to get them.

so ya thatr happen a week ago.

Last night I was running A3 normal as a tank and had people taking the tethers during that phase and purposely running away from me as I was trying to pick up the tethers. I finally was like well if you want it so bad then you can keep it. Other people who noticed it were like wtf and after we wiped because of the trolls, there was a vote abandon.

I once had a group with a tank who refused to take them. I had to run up to him to pass it to him, and then he chased me as I was running away from him. :/

I just spent 15 minutes in Ward Up.

Hm. Might as well share a good story rather than another depressing, horror story.

I finally got into World of Darkness. As expected, there were a few newbies but I'm a vanilla vet so I know this place like the back of my hand. I was running a Dark Knight too so I could control the pace. I promised everyone I would explain the bosses as we reached them and I did. The only minor snafus were another tank getting impatient and charging the first boss before I could finish explaining the mechanics. We barely avoided disaster and I growled to him after that fight that if he pulled that BS off again, he was out. Surprisingly enough, he didn't. Then on Cerberus, me and the other healers in our alliance died at the last 5% it so because the OTs didn't pick up the Wolfsbane adds, though we still killed him. Thanks to my thorough explanation to everyone on mechanics and cues provided by other veteran players, we completed the run extremely smoothly, without a single wipe. I even got 5 commendations for it.

Went into Trial DR with my MCH to get some EXP. Ended up with Garuda HM with a WAR and PLD tank. WAR asked if PLD wanted to MT and wit ha curt response of "no" the WAR pulled and MT'd.

Fight was slower than what I'm normally used to then I found out the PLD OT was literally not attacking. Didn't even bother to pick up sisters when they popped.

Fight didn't take that much longer than normal - we just had to burn sisters and we got to the "rotate around the arena" phase before killing Garuda. Still, sometimes I wonder why bother playing the game if you're gonna be lazy about it..

Just had the worst Aery run of my life.

Joined Leveling Roulette and got 2/3. Aery. Whoo. Easy EXP and possibly a Lesser Panda. This should be good.

Wipe 3 times. First time, healer died from all the orbs targeting them and moving out too slowly. 2nd time, the tank was cleaving the NPC with the fire breath and the healer ran out of MP. 3rd time, we didn't have enough DPS for the DPS check and I kept dying to the fetters because the BLM had a hard time getting me out.

After the third wipe, the healer explains to the BLM that they should be using Bliz III after Fire III as their stacks were constantly falling off. They weren't using Lay Lines, nor Enochian, nor I think even Raging Strikes. BLM is level 58-59 and they have a level 60 tank that's cleared Rav EX so they get all bitchy with the healer, saying that they should be in Noct Sect for better healing.

I told them to lay off the healer when the healer was handling everything just fine in Di Sect (and honestly, I prefer Di Sect myself for the Aery too ._.) and they got super annoyed, and was kind of like "let's just get this sh*t done". Either this guy took the healers advice about the stacks or he was real determined to do good because we finally cleared it with less than 10min on the clock to spare.

No Panda, ofc.

For some reason I decided that, for the moment at least, I like the original Titan weapons better than the glowing crafted ones. So I decided to farm some...

No FC were interested at the time for unsynced quick runs, so I hit the duty finder, telling myself, at least I can help a couple get through.

My god, the amount of level 60s I saw that couldn't dodge the first landslide! It was crazy. Easily half of the WotL needed at least one raise. In one run, that had one wipe, I needed to raise the other healer 6 times! Another there was a synced 60 DRK with mostly ESO and a much lower than cap geared 50, and no one would pull. When the dps and myself finally counted in that we would pull, the DRK ran in and faced Titan to us for the first rotation and a bit!

I wouldn't be too shocked at it if it were all fresh 50s, but having synced 60s play like that... Lucky on my last called run I got the drop I wanted because I was just going to suck it up and buy a Crag Heart after that.

Nothing is as much distracting as a model female monk in bikiny... thinking they are being painted so they can't move one single step.

In goes without saying that my remark about how nice would it be to see that arse shakin was answered with "I play to have fun".

Their fun also included posing in front of frontal cones, so bikiny actually gave them as much protection as anybody could expect from their real life counterparts.

I saw a Dragoon use nothing but Chaos thrust in my hard mode roulette. just Chaos Thrust, Chaos Thrust, Chaos Thrust, Chaos Thrust. Imagine that little chaos thrust sound effect just repeating over and over and over again. I almost thought it was a dream. There was a jump here and there. But 90% of the time Chaos Thrust.
I wonder if anyone has had those moments where you see someone else on the class you main doing questionable stuff like that. I just couldn't even believe what I saw. XD
