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

Weird that they kept on accusing you of botting heh. That said, you really should be using more than those skills in Neverreap. I assume on trash pulls you at least did Fire II, and maybe some flares? Should be using Enochian for the boost too, and you definitely want to be using Fire IV's on the main boss fights. Even if you can't do it perfectly, you're going to get way higher DPS than doing the 50 rotation

Thats the thing, i used FIre II and Flare, but he said i only used those three... which made me more baffled at being called a bot. In Boss fights i went all out with lvl 60 rotation

Yeah, that is weird then *shrug* The player seemed like a fairly irrational person heh

What I find more confusing is how you responding clearly meant that you're not a bot, but he decided to double down on the awfulness instead. :/

Orange player seems to have noticed that. I have to say, I was most amused by their sarcastic commentary

To be fair replying to the chatlog doesn't mean you're not botting, you could just sit and watch as the bot did it's thing, or even using guildworks app, chat from another city while your bot went about it's business.

One time I actually ended up in Satasha as a Warrior, with two Arcanist with similar names who both used Topaz Carbuncle. Normally that wouldn't really be an issue in such an easy dungeon, if it weren't for the fact that they were ONLY casting Ruin and rarely ever used their DoTs.

The WHM and I kept trying to give them advice, but they didn't respond period. Led the both of us to believe they were actual bots. Now that I think about it, we really really should have tried kicking one of them to see how long the vote kick would take.

Oh wow. That reminds me of the time we had a bot in Qarn Normal. Scholar wearing the level 15 dungeon gear. Physick spam the entire run even when we weren't attacking mobs. Died like 500 times because their bot casting drew mobs towards them. No pet was used either. Just. Physick. Over and over again. We kicked them after 5 mins.

Had a run of A8N today with four DRGs. They kept dying one by one. I wanted to believe they wouldn't, but I was wrong. One in particular kept running away with the stack marker--that really obvious one. Others died from not running behind the boss in time. I hadn't laughed at a DF run like that in a long time.

Reminds me of a Bismark EX run with 3 DRG and they all fell off Bismark, we still won but the reaction of the group was hilarious.

Decided to run Midas 4 with my 2 healers in my FC (normal mode) and seeing as 1 healer was new figured I'd tank to help em out. Soon as we get in the weaker DR (by like 4k HP) decides screw the Ready check, lets pull it! I shrug and we just go on, he doesnt use any kind of cooldowns and swiftly goes down after getting smacked with the debuff. I take over and because chaos is ensuing at the time I drop as well. Probably would have been less chaotic had the DRK decided to get up instead of laying on the ground for what seemed like 2 minutes and using 2 raises. We clear phase 1 and I run to the East wall to grab the add, I provoke it to avoid healing ripping it and here he comes and provokes it off me. So now I have the other add that he was near rampaging on the healer, finally manage to get it off him.

Luckily nothing much happens from then on till they form together. Double punch comes, no cool-down at all on him (and I am used to jumping over anyway so I do), no issue first half. After the split and he forms, next double punch he is at half health, uses no cooldowns, we both get it and he drops. Just overall it did my head in how these people can not use even basic skills to try and help keep themselves up. Honestly think If I had ignored the first double punch he would have gone down as well. Luckily the DPS had no issues so even using the healer LB we cleared first shot but holy hell...

What I say: "Don't ignore the orbs, guys."

What the party hears: "Ignore the orbs, guys."

I was trying really hard to Sacred Soil, Adlo, and Lustrate myself so I could eat two of the orbs. But it wasn't working so well. >.<

[EDIT] And then I did Trial Roulette with teh boyfriend and we got Shiva HM. Aaand wiped 3 times, lol. Twice from lack of healing and once 'cause the tank cleaved 2/3 of the party (specifically all of the ranged). He was on MNK and I was on BLM.

[EDIT2] I had a really good Prae run to make up for it. Everyone was a vet and all we did was joke around and talk about mechanics. Queued with an FC mate and then Rei queued in and got our commendations for being sneaky.
