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

Some more DF fun, Dzemael Darkhold edition. Got a tank in odd gear wondering around the first section aimlessly so my friend thought he may have been a bot (cause we got paired with one yesterday) but then he just wouldn't shut up for the next ten minutes.

for what I read your friends were the ones provoking him, just saying

After his initial response, I don't blame them.

Yeah you guys wouldn't even tell him what he did wrong, you could have told him why you thought he was a bot, which was because he seemed to be walking around aimlessly, and then maybe pointed him the right way. Instead you just kept circlejerking about it. While I would not have reacted the way he did, I would be mad that people seemed to have a problem with what I'm doing and then not tell me. You were rude.

Only on the OF will you get responses like these.

How you can't see the tank was the one going off the deep end here I don't even know.

Also, hope you reported him.

Aww

I stated I would not react the way the tank did, I thought it was obvious that meant I didn't agree with how he reacted. But provoking him wasn't nice either. I don't agree with any parties in this situation. They could have simply explained why they thought he was a bot, perhaps he would have said "sorry guys first time here", they could have said it's ok go this way, and everyone would have laughed it off.

Also, if they reported him that would be harrassment. You know why? They refused to heal him. That's harrassment.

Tanks have enough stress without being suspected of being bots. I've never ever run into someone I suspected of being a bot. To assume everyone to be a bot who doesn't say hi or runs around looking like they don't know where theyre going isnt right.

I was having a perfectly normal Tam Tara run on a lower level alt once when the healer started acting like a derp. Can't remember exactly what he was doing but I picked up my keyboard and called him on it. Then he said "oh, I thought you were a bot." It was weird bc I was tanking just fine, marking targets, positioning mobs. I just hadn't said anything bc I don't always have my keyboard on hand, or sometimes I have a cat on my lap and can't reach it to type. To this day I dunno why he thought I was a bot.

Yeah people here have this really weird thing where they think you're rude or a bot if you don't say hi. Sometimes Im kicked back in my chair with my feet up, controller in hand, and don't want to reduce my comfortability just to say hi to some random I'll never see again. If the dungeons going smoothly there's no need for communication, however if someone clearly doesn't know what they're doing or wants explanations I'll usually oblige because i, like I'm sure many do, want in and out as smoothly as possible.

I have to agree here.


@Bobkitty,

Why couldn't you bring up the decency to tell him why you suspected him for being a Bot?

I don't agree with the way he responds. But you and your party members were provoking him too. I mean, what if you and or your other party members reported him after the initial kick or dungeon run?

His entire account will be then investigated and perhaps he could have been banned accidentally (which some companies do) he would be in serious trouble right now.

I find it very rude and disturbing that none of you answered his question. He has a right to know, especially when his entire account could be in potantial danger of being lost!!

How hard would it have been to just come out and tell him why you thought he was a bot? "Sorry, you were just kinda wandering around. Our mistake, let's just keep going." Instead, your party resorted to provoking him further when he was obviously already upset by what you'd said. His response just means that everyone involved was acting like a bunch of jackasses to each other.
