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

I just remembered the first or second time I wiped to Echidna in Void Ark. Why did we wipe? ... Because the entire friggin alliance was arguing about glamours.

Like, someone said "I just noticed no one's wearing the damn Thavnairan Bustier in here! You guys rock!" before Echidna was pulled. Chaos ensued.

This is the funnies thing to wipe to

Wow, just wow. Was in a Sohm Al run and had a DPS with some MAJOR Rage issues, was called things like faggot and asked why I wasn't aborted O.o. All because He pulled threat off me during the last boss when I was moving him. LOVE THEM GIANT EPEENS lol

Jeez. I hope you reported him. Those types of comments deserve a ban.

Also, if I were your healer. Yeah, he would be dying.

I queued in for Level 50 Roulette yesterday on my level 57 DRK and got Wanderers Palace HM. I was doing normal sized pulls, not small but not huge either as I'm still leveling. The WHM was also leveling as she was level 55.

At one point, after the first boss, I pulled a mob of 4 enemies (with defensive cooldowns on) and yet she still let the party die. The MCH says "wtf healer?" No response. Then, she finally responds in utter rage that we are all wasting her time because of the normal sized pulls I was doing, and since we are wasting her time, she's gonna waste ours.

Both me and the MCH responded, quite calmly, that she couldn't even keep us alive on a normal pull, let alone a huge pull. She responded with more rage and screaming about us wasting her time. So, we dismissed her.

Sure enough, she has one DPS and a tank at 60. I just knew she was leveling WHM so she could mentor. If you don't have the patience for people in DF (and only one single wipe which was her fault) then you sure as hell shouldn't be a mentor to others.

Just had pretty much the worst Void Ark I've ever seen. Tanks fighting over aggro. Bosses getting faced into the raid. Adds not getting picked up/moved. Abilities not getting interrupted. A co-healer that only used Draw 13 times in the entire raid and did almost no single-target healing yet managed to overheal massively due to spamming Aspected Helios. The entirety of Alliance A apparently got so upset over us asking them to stop their bad play (i.e. facing boss into the raid, not picking up their adds, etc) that they decided they were just going to play like utter shit for the rest of the instance. At least, this is what they said on /a at the end of the instance. Honestly, I think they were just that awful to begin with. >.>

I've been lvling NIN lately (is 57 now) I've done quite of Aery runs to try getting the lv55 NIN weapon (still using DV weapon) and have yet to see it drop. Have the whole NIN set though but no weapon.

But for some reason in some runs I've done, I've had people not even try getting me out of the sable price almost like they just wanted to sacrifice me. Though I would break out anyone that gets trapped in it. So not sure why some didn't even try.

At I already got my lesser panda, got it when lvling AST, but will be still rolling on it for my sister.

Oh well. Hopefully NIN won't be lv60 before I get that weapon. I really want it. >.>

Me and my boyfriend were leveling our alts, got Stone Vigil normal. Me as DRK.

I died four times. On single mobs pulls. Not the complicated ones either. Healer: "lagging" They cast Adlo on me when I'm at sub 100HP.

After the third time I die, I'm getting agitated. After the fourth time, I type in party chat "seriously?"

Please. If you are lagging that badly that your tank is dying on average pulls, then please leave. You are a healer anyways, once your internet stabilizes you'll pretty much get an instant que.

"I just noticed no one's wearing the damn Thavnairan Bustier in here! You guys rock!" before Echidna was pulled. Chaos ensued.

I do have to question the truth to that, because it is scientifically proven to be impossible in a group of 24 players, including catgirl healers °-°
Just joking, sounds like fun times^^

My own little story:

One and a half hours before serverdown today, I decided to finish 15 A1 runs before the servers go down x)
Of course, it generally didn't work out because random parties aren't all that quick and pops take a while too on a weekday night, but it wasn't all THAT bad until I met the party that would become the bane of my token hunting :x
Me on NIN, 2 DRGs, 1 BRD. On Faust I already noticed that the dmg was...quite slow. But because I was talking in FC chat, I didn't pay too much attention just how slow it was.
When we got down to the boss, it got worse °-°
Split was at 73%. I have NEVER seen such a high number..xD I'm used to ~30% in df groups, below 10% in farms. Now, I know that I'm not exactly a great NIN and I'm used to being the lowest DPS at 900-1200 (depending on if I forget to put poison on my blades again..xD), but everyone was so. much. lower x.X
I was alone on Original, all 3 others were on 0.5, and still I had 1.0 down to 10% when the other was still above 30% HP, so I switched to 0.5 too. When it hit 2%, I went back, expecting the WAR to have taken away a chunk of 1.0's HP but it was still at 10%...which I finished before the other 3 DPS players finished the 2% on 1.0 ~.~
All in all, we had 8! jumps in that fight.
EIGHT.
No new or undergeared players btw.
I'm still kind of...speechless. And everyone was all friendly and acting normal, which made me think that not even one of them found the time it took to be weird or too long...maybe because they actually never had a faster run than that x.x
