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

Level 50 roulette: Snowcloak. Party was a SCH, DRK, and other DPS was either a NIN or MNK. Anyways, after a few pulls, the SCH turned to me and told me that I needed to "help the tank" with his MP. I sat there for a minute and was like "It's not going to work on him" (because MP song doesn't work on DRKs because they usually keep Darkside up). The tank turns off DS and I play my song for him (even though he said it was his bad for not using his MP regens properly), and the SCH was like "See it works!"

Trial roulette: Levi. Spumes came up, I'm the only one attacking them. Got yelled at by an AST in the group for not doing my job, and I politely told him that I was attacking the spumes, but I can't be expected to destroy all four on my own in a timely manner since BRDs don't DPS as well as other DPS (plus, I couldn't use WM so that wasn't really helping). He told me to stop making excuses. Tank told him that AST are more then capable of helping DPS, too. Glad someone stuck up for me.

Hard mode dungeon the day of the patch release, join dungeon and there is a tank with a mentor crown. Get to the first mob and tank says 'sorry i have to eat dinner, you can kick me if you want' Then went AFK. Mentor crown was a joke i think, especially considering both DPS were new.

The first time i run through Antitower and Lost City.

Antitower: AST/BLM: AST never used a single card, BLM was almost full 200 but with the i150 weapon.

Lost City: Another AST, this time used cards on the wrong people.


Expert roulette? I went as AST to forget those other 2 awful AST.

Did Void Ark today.

Someone pulled Cuchulainn. Locks out 2 healers and 3 DPS.

Both healers are freaking out in /a chat about being locked out.

They wipe at about 5%.

Someone says, "Would be nice if the healers in the other Alliances actually did something."

What is Raid Awareness anyway?

Speaking of raid awareness... there was a DRG that gave me crap saying "lol, tanks raid awareness is bad tonight" in A7 (first time too) for not pulling the boss away from the heart. Ok, whatever, I know now and we finished the boss with no problems. The kicker is that I got grouped with this same DRG for first time A8, and she died 3 times to avoidable damage, I couldn't help but laugh. If you're going to give someone crap for lack of something, make sure you can live up to your own standards.

As a healer, I can say A7 is pretty annoying. >.< I find A8 to be much easier, especially to DF.

But, yeah, shame on them for not explaining the heart thing if they were gonna complain about it. People are still learning the fights and other people are acting like the whole thing has been out for months, smh.

To be honest..I still mess up myself on Alex 7 and 8..lol so I don't exactly expect anything perfect in Midas yet.

Understandably so, the patch is only 2 days out after all. Yet I myself also received hate from someone since I died to an A5 mechanic on my first time in. What puzzles me is that the people who supposedly knows the mechanics aren't bothered to explain them, and resort to raging about it in chat instead. This I will never comprehend.

But even with months old content, the possibility exists of players experiencing it for the first time and will be learning it. Even with guides and videos, it takes first hand experience to get it down. People need to be patient and considerate.

[Ironos]

I always find that the impatient people like that come out of the woodwork when new content rolls around, but rarely stay for very long. Maybe I've just been lucky and not run into very many of them, but hopefully the poor attitudes, or rather the people with them, will taper off. People do need to learn some patience though, especially for new content that isn't even a week old.

I haven't attempted Midas in the Duty Finder yet. I'm afraid of what I'll find there. I'd much rather go with friends. ;w;
