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

Wait A6 has auto-clean enrage?

Holy hell. I've seen it go off in A8, but A6? Those are some bad DDs.

[Torunya]

Did A6 tonight to try and get my bolt drop. I'm a Paladin.

On my second run I got grouped up with what I believe to be a pre-made, as they talked very cheerily amongst themselves. My co-tank is a Drk, with about 19k hp. He pops Grit as we start, so I happily take the OT spot without any objections on my 24k hp Pally. No big deal right? The guy dies to the first tankbuster from Brawler, and I immidiately step up to save the party and grab hold of him with provoke. He's showing the bad-tanking signs. Not pulling bosses out of aoe, not performing tank swaps, you guys know the drill. It's at this point I notice that he has dexterity accessories. Yeah you heard me. Dexterity. I pointed this out to him and said it would be better if he changed that, to which he replied that he couldn't because his iLvl would be 198 if he didn't use these accessories. ...Okay. Right. Anyway we go onwards to the last robot, with this guy still main tanking. I'm not even given a choice, didn't matter if this guy had weakness or vulnerability, he seemed really adamant about being main tank.

Before I even have a chance to tank swap with him he dies at 2 stacks. Now I'm used to swapping at 3 stacks on the last robot of A6, although I notice some doing it at 2. But with the weakness this guy had at this point I don't think it would matter. I'm suspecting he's not even popping cooldowns at all since he died so fast. But anyway, battle continues and we eventually clear it. Turbulent as it was. Now it's over right? I can roll for my loot and leave right? Nope. 3 of these guys remain, and decide to try and wait me out for the remaining bolt that I rolled on.

Asks me how much I rolled for, to which I reply "You'll find out when you roll." It ended with the screenshot below as they eventually rolled with about 20 seconds left on the loot timer. But my god, how much of an annoying asshat do you have to be? C'mon man, grow up a little. I'm happy I got my bolt, or I would've been salty all night.

he couldn't because his iLvl would be 198 if he didn't use these accessories.

...okay, so back at the start of 3.2, I had to switch out my tank choker (pentamelded i150) with my healer choker in order to get in. But I friggin' switched back once I was inside. (Except for this one time when I forgot..... /blush) It's not like the ilvl is strictly enforced once you're inside, and even if he'd be i198, he'd be a lot more valuable with tank accessories than "higher ilvl" dex. -_- Some people. I don't get them.

Grats on the bolt, though =)

M3 normal where the MNK in the party was somehow in Raptor Form for almost the entire fight and only got GL3 twice or three times.

...it was a very long fight due to the lack of DPS but that just exacerbated the issue further.

[AskaRay]

My friend asked me to help him level in Cutter's Cry, and I asked if I could bring my LNC since I want it leveled and done with.
He didn't care so away we went

Obviously the party asked why I was LNC and this is honestly the best response I've ever gotten:

That was a good group too, 10/10 would party again

This is probably the dumbest comment of all and I dont care who made it. Whoever made it should best learn how to behave in a community where you factually dont know for sure IF the other person is really not having some language problems. Not telling is the case here but could be, saying stuff like that annoys me the hell out of me and I would initiate a kick vote just for that reason alone no matter if you (general you) are the best player ever.

Not speaking english is fine, ticking E for DF when you know you clearly do not understand english in order to just speed up queues is not.

Which begs the question of how they got paired up. Either Selli has languages she doesn't understand ticked or the PLD did. One obviously in the wrong.

I am pretty sure that the PLD's remark was not in response to what language Selli was speaking, but rather in response to her listing off buffs. In other words, they had (or were pretending they had, not sure which) no idea what she was talking about, and/or was asking her to dumb it down.
Either way, the PLD was either trolling or had never read their skills and was remarkably clueless as a result.

nothing justifies such attitude NOTHING in absolute if you cant behave in a community without name calling is your problem. Also I know English people that speak English like spanish cow even worse then mine so yeah..maybe is good to first make sure YOUR English is the best of the best before you go and point fingers to others.

Yes ? you are one of the reasons why this community is soo toxic in so many levels.

One time I joined an A6 run in progress. The other 7 members were at the final boss and still fighting, so I had to wait for them. I thought they were gonna wipe, But no, they had the boss down to like 10% and just kept on doing fine. They beat the boss and the loot is distributed. I rolled a 91 on the Midan Bolt...only for another party member to say NO ONE ROLL ON THE BOLT! I uh...I kinda won the bolt, felt terribly awkward and then left. I've never felt so awkward in my life...

I queue for English only. I am a PvPer and the number 1 rule of Frontline queues is to queue in the dominate language of your data center or your queue will never pop. The Duty Finder picks the language before finding the party. So there is no possible way I could accidentally be in a party that was non-English.

I don't understand where this non-existent language barrier is coming from. I'm speaking English right now, fluidly, and 100% of my posts are in English. If he didn't speak English, why would he have said, "You're not even speaking English"? If he didn't understand English, there would be no reason to make that remark, nor would I have understood the remark if he had said it in another language. Everyone present in that party spoke English, which is why I quoted things said in English. No one even used the auto-translate functions. The PLD was just being cheeky.

I am going to agree 100% with Ivy on this one. This very accurately describes the situation and I don't understand how it could be interpreted any other way.

I am pretty sure that the PLD's remark was not in response to what language Selli was speaking, but rather in response to her listing off buffs. In other words, they had (or were pretending they had, not sure which) no idea what she was talking about, and/or was asking her to dumb it down.
