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

You're completely right and way too logical lol - I guess we all just get too caught up in our gaming worlds, I know i'm guilty of taking things too personally a lot of the time. Considering what OP said they said to her though, I do hope they got a similar punishment.

Yeah, I hope they were punished too.

Queued into The Vault on my WHM, to get the "51-59 Dungeon" sticker for the Tails book.
The party was me, a DRK, a MNK, and a newbie BLM.
We get through the first part of the dungeon without any issues, and beat the first boss. The DRK then says "going to do a massive pull", and proceeds to pull everything from the first boss to the gate to the next floor. His HP drops below 1k a couple times, and the BLM eats a Fire2 from one of the adds immediately following the two Black Nebula casts, but no one dies.
The DRK turn to me and says "That usually never succeeds".

Was helping friends get loot the other day, and was in A10.
After we finish after I (mostly) soloheal (don't mind that, WHM kept Medica2 and Regen on party/MT up consistently), the WHM looks at me and...
Tells me to meld VIT on my accessories instead of the PIE I have stacked there (I like my MP high enough to consistently heal raid-wide damage and not having to rely on Ewer RNG for it)

Like, I know melding VIT is a common thing for Savage Mainhealers that don't need ACC but... did they assume I heal in Savage? I'm kinda flattered but very confused

I'm my static's DRG, not a healer, and we haven't set foot in Savage yet (although I think we might on Saturday?)

Quit leaves the temptation to return. Ban tells me "No, you're not allowed back"

Speaking of which, it says I'm in the Bowl of Embers. After a while of the duty finishing, if I still haven't logged in, when I log back in would it throw me into the Bowl of Embers or where I was in the overworld?

Chargeback on credit card is a good way to get banned btw.

Higher level content where tanks have a tank stance, better hate generation overall, and more DPS classes have AoE abilities? I think the example was Sastasha - dungeon #1. And I'm just sitting here thinking - wait, AoE in Sastasha? That's a thing?

At the beginning I did not see which dungeon it was, and then..Er, a Lv15-18 ?Then I doubted the same thing, is there any AOE on this LV?...Then yes, AOE of BLM is available on LV18. And group pulling of tanks? Also available.
I need to say, this AOE of BLM (fire II) has quite low average damage, whether this slight damage really disturbs the hate (even there's no tank stance) still confuses me.
Anyhow, it is embarrassing enough to quarrel and have someone kicked in such a small dungeon as we are already in version 3.4. And people (including myself) here, are discussing it seriously...Ah, something must go wrong.

Personally I always wind up pulling a bit early; around 4-5 seconds or so, simply because I've noticed a tendency of everyone to immediately begin attacking the boss at Start. Ranged especially. So if as the Tank I don't go a bit before to secure aggro, it can get...a bit messy.

On my DRG, I carefully watch the MT / boss so I can hit just as the boss is pulled, full ham. I've had tanks with an i200 weapon hold against my i240 when they have a solid aggro rotation. The "pull before 0" just irritates me, though I won't generally say anything unless it's in a PF for "harder" content. Part of learning boss fights is knowing when mechanics interrupt my rotation, so having inconsistent pulls is a major pain in the butt.

I did Titan HM for my MSQ. I don't know how its so hard for the party I had. Half the party are dead by the time Titan's Heart came about (either falling off or just standing in AoEs). But by the time Titan has 30% HP left, its just me (SCH), a DRK, and a BRD. We cleared it with just that. Yes, I was going nuts keeping them alive and popping juice and eatherflow when I can to make sure I have MP to not wipe. How many comms did I get? Nada.

To make matters worse. my cohealer has been AFK the whole time. How I know? Never even popped a heal on herself and didn't move out of the landslide.

I did Stone Vigil with Duty Finder, everyone died except for me. I was fighting Chudo-Yudo on my own. It had around a quarter of it's health left, I was doing everything in my power to stay alive and kill it. Long story short, I beat it and everyone was just so amazed that they were like "WOW YOU WON."

Was one of my best moments in FFXIV, I certainly stroked my ego after that. I was like:

I'm a bard and always being the clumsy one in the dungeon, I don't have gamer DNA, except candy crush ;D
please bear with me >_<

Got Sophia for trials yesterday. Everything during the first phase was fine. Start of the second phase everyone did the first meteor right. Second meteor however had almost everyone running towards the most tethers. Only one tank, healer, and DPS did it right. Also during the second attempt she called her daughter and it was directly behind her and I didn't see it. Even with the camera pulled all the way back. What I did see however was everyone else getting out of the way. I was halfway through thinking, "where are they going?" When I took a giant laser to the back.
