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

Shout out to my party in Pharos Sirius HM today who probably thought I played so bad
thanks for puttin up with me.

My wireless receiver for my controller broke, so I'm using my keyboard till a new one gets to me... it's less than ideal for me. I wanted to try it out though since I haven't used my keyboard primarily since about a month after I started the game...

Guess it's time to max all that gathering stuff and MGP stuff this week......

40 minute Main Scenario queue on my monk, get CM. 7/8 premade (which they did not inform me of until they kicked me). The 7 of us (minus the newbie) would be standing at the boss. After waiting for a couple of minutes, I pulled because there is no reason for 7 people to do nothing in an already long and tedious dungeon. No one says anything for or against what I was doing, so I it every 2nd boss for the rest of the dungeon (I wasn't really sure what they were doing since no one said anything, so I just figured neither of the tanks wanted to MT or something). We get to Livia, I get abuse from everyone in this party for not waiting for their friend, and they then kicked me so I, and I quote, "don't get my roulette bonus because I don't deserve it".

Not saying their response was good, because it wasn't, but didn't it occur to you that when 6 other people, including tanks, were waiting on someone to finish their cutscenes that maybe that was the plan anyways? You can tell when someone is in a cutscene, you would see that someone is new, so why wouldn't you just be a little patient?

It happened to me too! Dx
Even if I wasn't used to the keyboard anymore, I decided to queue for a duty (pvp) anyway.. That moment when I panicked and got stuck in a wall while trying to run away from the enemy GC (and consequently got murdered) was enough for me.
I spent the rest of my time crafting, gathering and doing some light leveling with FATEs while waiting for the currier to bring me a new receiver.

On my BLM, I queue into Library with a PLD, WHM, NIN.

At book boss and the NIN out of no where starts to get annoyed at the WHM for not bothering to dodge any AOEs. WHM gets defensive. They argue all way until after the second boss, they try to vote kick the NIN, but loot's still rolling.

WHM+PLD who are a duo, get huffy so they sit down and refuse to do anything. At this point I'm actually more annoyed by that than anything. Unfortunately for them, the NIN runs and aggros a bunch of mobs and does their aggro transfer onto the PLD.

Finally the loot times out. The WHM+PLD try to vote abandon. I decline. I have netflix open, so if these people want to drag out a dungeon then I'm more than game. They try again a few more times, but each time it fails. Finally they give up and realize their little protest isn't doing jack and they start pulling again. We kill the final boss without any issue.

I decide to give the NIN my comm.

ROFL!

Oh man that sounds awful.... I've already accidentally killed myself at a couple gathering nodes (curse you, clockwork bit).
AND I keep running off of cliffs; while the autorun is much better with a mouse I also keep forgetting that middle-click turns it on. Go me.

I know sometimes keyboards are easier for others but I just don't see it. Props to you guys.

It's the bane of every gatherer. xD

So that's how it works!
I use my mouse only to zoom in/out and sometimes get stuck in auto-run.
I guess you learn something new everyday. ._.

Because maybe it's common courtesy when you come with a group who wants to let new people see scenes to say: "we have new people we will wait on them to watch the scenes, if you don't like just leave or stay with us and enjoy the slow run" - I don't say it's right to pull, but silence also doesn't answer things.

Yeah, if NIN did that to me, I'm taking my 30 minute penalty so as to allow me to calm down before I smash my PC to pieces. I've already had to repair my desk multiple times due to my rage because of this game.

[Ashkendor]

No one, in either of these parties, told me we were waiting for this one person until they started to get snippy with me. I told both parties that I would wait if that's what they wanted to do, since no one had said anything about it previously..

Honestly, guys. If you're going to run the MS dungeons and watch all the cut scenes, either do it unsynced or tell the one pug in the group what you're going to be doing instead of saying nothing until you feel like yelling at them or kicking them before they get their bonus. It's DF and they're not going to treat it any differently than any other DF run if no one says anything.

Er. Wow. That's just... I don't even. I mean, I know we may have to wait for people in MS roulette runs and I can chill while newbies watch cutscenes and strike up conversation with other people in the party if that's the plan, I don't really much care. If they didn't tell you what was going on, how could they expect you to know though? Seriously, what a bunch of idiots.

Have you ever been in a 24 man raid where all three (or six) tanks just shuffle their feet and look at each other and don't pull?

There's usually no reason for it other than you've landed in with passive tanks or maybe just tanks that would rather OT.

Ahaha. Of all the troll uses that skill can be put to, this is easily the best I've heard of.
