A proposed solution for having players become better players.

That's how I like to play my game. Nobody is going to change that and I could give a crap less what random people on the internet call me for playing this game how I want (seriously).

If I wanted to RP as an Ice Mage and spam only Blizzard-type spells that would be ok? My sub I play how I want!

To be serious, you and others like you have no reason to be against this. It would not penalize you in any way.

Technically, yes. If I asked you why you were using only Blizzard and you replyed that it was because of RP, I'd just shake it off and move on with the run. Anyway, Ice-Mages are just scarecrows in this type of argument, they probably don't even exist in the DF.

I get your sentiment, but RP is not an excuse. If someone wanted to RP an ice mage, then they should form a party that is ok with that. By going into a DF dungeon and doing that you are putting more pressure on 3 other people who didn't sign up for that, as the job mechanics are not designed to allow for things like ice mages, and at the end of the day doing it is as entitled and ignorant as Mattelots attitude.

And don't forget the people who roll level 60's but NEVER do the job quests for the advanced classes (BRD, DRG, WHM) I've done some PFs where people would literally queue up as our healer, but as an Arcanist.... that's been happening as of late and there hasn't been a party I've joined where they would get kicked for not only not doing their role, but casting THM spells and no heals.

Last week it was an Archer - the group couldn't kick him fast enough, he was falling behind and getting rolled. He wasn't even following mechanics... kept dying. Got to the point where the healer (not me, I was an actual Bard) stopped raising him.

But hey, we pay the subscription, we can play how we want, right? Screw everyone else...

Thought arcanist can only queue as DPS.

They can only queue as dps so that part at least was a huge lie

Sorry. CNJ. Wasn't a huge lie, I just made a mistake. Don't be so dramatic about it.

You can be penalized, it's called getting vote kicked. Good luck arguing how refusing to cooperate in a dungeon for "role play reasons" isn't a difference in play style.
