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

Participated in L60 DR on AST and got paired with a PLD (still rocking one STR ring!) who ran off when the shield dropped in Pharos HM. Okay, no problem, I can deal with this.

He pulls the first two sets of mobs and for some reason hate starts going everywhere. I noticed he has no Oath on so I polite suggest he turn on an Oath.

No response.

After the next pull i ask him to put on an Oath in party with a <SE.1>.

Still no response.

It's then I began to notice that he wasn't using any cooldowns or anything. He didn't even bother to move when he got a tether on the first boss.

It pretty much went like this for the entire DR and I wanted to either kick him or let him die throughout the run. I didn't though because I just wanted the run over with.

Still, it's frustrating to see. I would've been much happier if he picked an Oath (even if that Oath was Sword Oath) because at least then I'd know he was remotely trying.

Reading of Sastasha NM speedruns brings back terrible memories of a german group I was with once... (I'm german myself so at least language wasnt an issue)

I was on my scholar, a warrior tank maybe? - and I dont know the dps anymore, but no one had a really great AoE. We load in, everyone is waiting for my protect - my first cross class skill is cleric stance because Selene can pretty much solo-heal those dungeons. I explain them that I dont have protect on this level, they're okay with it and we pull the first group. I switch into cleric... and the tank starts calling me out for it - like how I dare to have cleric instead of protect. I try to tell him that he doesnt need it and that I would make sure he wont die. He insist that he could "pull more with protect" - yeah dude, this is Sastasha NM... we have little to no good AoE and you want to pull more?!
I tell him: "Sure, go for it, I'll heal you" and start chasing him through the dungeon, telling him to pull even more. He gets nasty, saying how useless my cleric stance would be now since I'm not getting a single dps-spell off, while I remind him that he didnt needed protect after all - and finally settle the argument by telling him that the very first dungeon might not be the best place to discuss how a healer should be doing his job as long as no one dies...

We werent faster btw... I bet it would have been over sooner if he would have done normal pulls and let me dps...

Today I ran World of Darkness, Antitower and Amdapor Hard.
All three duties dropped their respective pets and I rolled 90+ on all of them - just to loose them to the derpest person in the entire party ;_;

Went to the Void Ark as ninja. All started normally, till the third boss. People started makes jokes in alliance chat. Nothing wrong wiht this. But, one of the tanks decided go more far and started trolling, and after pull the boss, he started turning him, running around him. Melee classes weren't unable to DPS poperly. Some people of the alliance found this fun, others started to be annoyed. We killed the boss and proceed with Echidna. Things turning worst, not only the tank doing the same, but some people even encourage him and laugh his jokes. One of the other tanks decided stop this and pull the aggro from him to stop that stupid situation. But of course, the troll tank provoked and aggro the boss to keep trolling the entire raid "because is more fun", resulting in a even worse tank swap, making the boss changing the tank constantly, fucking the melee DPS even killing some people due to the cleave. We killedher and finish that torture.

Really, if they were bored could log off and do something else instead of trolling others. He was bad, but the people who laugh and encourage him to troll are worse.

I run my DR earlier as AST and got paired with a PLD - BLM - MNK in Vault. First my tank never used a Oath so the BLM and MNK kept getting aggroed and my BLM never moved out of aoes at all... It was a nightmare. Then after the run they started saying I was a shitty healer, and that I should quit healing.. I never said anything the entire run, made me feel like crap for the rest of the night.

Ran Cape Westwind for the first time today.

It MIGHT have been challenging with a 4-man group. It was a complete joke with 8...

Back then our gear was shitty and was harder... Okay it was always easy but it was still a bit more challenging

Pretty much everything related to main scenario quest won't be too challenging, at least in the vanilla game. Extreme trials are really fun if you enjoy challenge.

If you have completed Vault as a AST, I truly do not think so that you might be a "Shitty Healer".
The Dungeon was / or is still Hell when being an Astrologian and is a completely joke as a Tank when the Tank goes into Tank Stance and atleast pops a CD on some Pulls or Bosses...

Lol I'm curious what group got the butt of his complaints over his not contributing.

I have received access to this Facebook group and was able to post my side of the story. ^.^ Hopefully this issue will resolve and the mean tells will go away.

I am not going to say which Facebook group it is because I do not wish to aggravate the situation further. I do think since the posts are all public, releasing the group name would be almost as bad as naming and shaming since the information is easily accessible. Those in the group who go on the forums are probably already aware of the situation, though I'm not certain how many people that may actually be.
