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

Well, took my PS4 over to a friends house to chill and show him what Alexander looks like start to finish of areas 1 through 4.

Using the DF, ran everything but the best time was on A3. We were wiped twice in the first trash mods because both healer weren't doing ANYTHING on the run. Literally, just standing there and doing nothing. So due to this, all but myself and Sargent Death decided to abandon the run.

I would say it took 10 to 15 mins to get back to full party, but we did have alot of fun standing in front of the drop down making quite a few jokes about the "hole" and most of them not listening about staying at the top of the "hole".

We cleared but that was by far one of the craziest and comical times in A3 for me.

I will load the screenshot tonight - typing this at work.

@SargentDeath - Thanks for great run. Need to do that again sometime.

I already said that NONE of the party members including the "botter" were decent.

Not sure about SE, but some companies ban your entire account, including your forum account. So in order to make a ban appeal you need another PAID account that is active.
Unless you have a good friend/partner that you trust with your account information and also actively plays the game btw, not everybody can afford to ban appeal.

Again, it's not worth the hassle over some douchebags on the internet, sorry.

100% agree. I used to play a game called archage and people had a bad habit of accusing others of being bots because it was open world pvp and getting housing was even more cutthroat than this game. They could report you as a bot for not liking you camping the house they wanted and the company a lot of the times would ban the accused person without a second glance. Accusing someone of being a bot is serious and I myself would be mad if accused.

Yup I played ArcheAge as well and Trion were famous of their false bans. Many innocent people got caught up in their massive false bans when they had server issues etc.

Since I played that game, I no longer trust any gaming company. The way they handled bans and many other things were horrible. Customer support is almost non existent there...

Firstly, if I see someone acting funny in a dungeon, I don't auto-accuse them of being a bot. There are way more plausible answers. First time here, first time here on this class, not my first time here but I'm still learning this on this class, not my first time but I haven't run this one in FOREVER, etc etc. Asking them if they needed help or wanted advice would have been a much more tactful way to communicate that you suspected something wasn't 100% right. ETA: In particular, of all the classes I've played, being a tank is the most demanding and least forgiving (or maybe I'm just a better healer than a tank), so expectations are sometimes gruelingly high when you're learning.

Secondly, if I got accused of being a bot, my initial reaction would have probably been "No, but am I doing something THAT wrong?" It goes without saying that I wouldn't have reacted that violently, but if I asked politely, "Hey, no I'm not, but am I doing something wrong?" and just got nothing in response, I probably would have assumed that they were trolling me. I wouldn't have reacted like THAT, but I would have left the dungeon without a second thought. I don't get to play for more than an hour or two in a day and there are PLENTY of things I could do on the open world still in that time than deal with trolls.

Both parties were definitely not playing nice with others. Which, you know, if you wanna be a hard-ass, that's fine, but calling people out on the forums when they don't deal with your crap well? Meh...

This all reminds me of my time fishing in FF11, botting was quite bad at the time to be fair but I used to get loads of /t from people trying to check if I was a bot, man it was annoying. I'd wish I could ignore them but then they'd assume you're a bot and report you, it was a no win situation because they where paranoid.

Lol

Was just in Expert Roulette. AST, DRK, DRG, and myself on MNK. DRK is pulling big, I'm AoEing my monk butt off. DRG has full TP and isn't even on the emnity bars for half the things.

Tank makes a comment about stuff dying slow, I ask the DRG if they're even AoEing.

The rest of the dungeon they harass me for literally no reason and then kick me right before the last boss so I don't get any loot or rewards.

Nice to know this is how spoiled children act after Christmas when mommy and daddy don't buy them a new iPhone.

[EDIT] Conversation went something like this:
(DRK) Phew, that was close. (<-- just after the 1st or 2nd trash pull)
(Me) Drg, were you AoEing?
(DRG) Are you f*cking serious?
(AST) Were you even AoEing, MONK?
(Me) Yes, I was, thank you. I was at 100 TP and the DRG was at full.
(DRG) Sounds like you don't know how to manage your TP
(Me) Well, you didn't even have an aggro bar on half the things I was attacking

(AST) I didn't see you use Falcon Punch once, you really suck at your job. You should quit.
(Me) Actually, I main WHM. I play MNK for fun.
(AST/DRG/DRK) Well that explains why your DPS is sh*t
(Me) Oh, you're parasing? I can report you for that.
(AST/DRG/DRK) No, if you look at the aggro meters your always last.
(Me) You ever think to consider maybe because it's I'm i185 and the rest of you at i200+?

[EDIT2] I looked them up and they're all FCmates from the same server (not mine, thankfully), and their FC name accurately describes their attitude, lol.

Hey, archeage...I had my entire Trion account permanently banned because I committed fraud apparently. Bought the founder's pack before release, they removed a ton of endgame content from the game and moved the most important endgame crafting component to that stupid gacha system in the cash shop so I requested a refund. Next thing I know, WHAM! BYE BYE TRION. I could understand it if I had gone through my paypal account to reverse the charge but I did it via a refund ticket...

[AlphaFox]

I got banned for....not even sure what I did. I played Archage for all of 20 minutes, that was the last I had touched of the game. Fast forward a few months I tried to play another game of theirs and it said I had been banned, to appeal I had to give like a giant list of bull I just threw my hands up and said screw it. Wanted the paypal that was linked, the CC used if any, keys of games purchased and like 10 other things. Safely saying I am not gonna bother with them anymore.

[cain8602]

I have one.

Christmas Day, I do Guildhest Roulette on one of my alts. It's Ward Up. Haven't done it in a while.

We each start taking on a mob...except the tank didn't grab any of the others. Soon, people start dying and the whole thing goes to pot. Healer gets mouthy, I call out the tank. Healer says it's all the DPS' fault and that we should just do our jobs. We try again, and I discover why we kept dying last time.

The healer was leaving Eos to do all the healing, against mobs that were doing more damage than she could heal, and the tank still wasn't holding all the mobs.

*facedesks*

We barely made it that time, but seriously. Kinda hard for DPS to 'just do their job' when the others won't do theirs... >_<
