Mentor Players Kicking newer players from Duty Ques for low DPS

[JunseiKei]

You do realize there's an opener where you do exactly that though right?.

More for the sake of my own curiosity, why would you do that? Straight shot applies a buff that increases critical rate and when your DoTs crit, you get a bloodletter/ rain of death proc. Personally, I use the double Emp opener, so I'm curious as to the benefit of an opener like this.

Well, silly suggestion time, would anyone on Aether be willing to do some runs with the OP? Perhaps set up a cross server private PF with some seasoned bards to help them learn their rotation/gear up?

I'd run with if a meet up time could be worked out. Can run as a tank, healer or DPS, but I'm most confident in the healer role.

I don't know the exact reason, just an opener Rinchan nau theory crafted, it's done out of minuet where you double weave serveral buffs including pot+Internal release, you then use Minuet with straighter shot and iron jaws which snapshot all the buffs.

Basically to double weave easier.

Oh, interesting. Will have to play around with it.

What the OP was wearing (iirc):

250 Teak Composite Bow HQ
150 Chimerical Felt Coif of Aiming NQ
250 Star Velvet Tabard of Aiming HQ
250 Hemiskin Gloves of Aiming HQ
230 Torrent Belt of Aiming
250 Hemiskin Trousers of Aiming HQ
250 Hemiskin Leggings of Aiming HQ
150 Chrysolite Earrings of Fending HQ
150 Citrine Choker of Aiming HQ
150 Chrysolite Bracelet of Fending HQ
150 Chrysolite Ring of Aiming HQ
150 Chrysolite Ring of Fending HQ

If you're DPS is low and other players see this gear on you, what do you expect them to do? Calculate your stats or kick you because you're undergeared and wearing the wrong gear for your job?

But what else will the bandwagon hate on if not mentors?.

I'm better as DPS, but I'm not a bard expert.

After seeing this topic, I've really come to one conclusion.

The white knighting SJWs on this forum have really gone too far. Quite frankly, it'd be disheartening if it wasn't so infuriating.

In this topic, you have numerous people defending someone who is wearing multiple i150 fending accessories as a BRD and when criticized, pulls out the elitist label and the "I pay my sub" argument.

Is this really the level of play we find acceptable? Is this really the standard we are setting for this community? Is this type of one-sided coddling by yes-men the standard for discussion on this forum? And people wonder why more and more people are abandoning DF, PF, and the notion of helping others entirely. People wonder why the devs have made 90% of the content in this game face-roll difficulty. People wonder why they're dumbing down jobs, refusing to give us more interesting gear, and why the the game is getting increasingly bland.

Enabling this type of self-entitlement, lack of awareness, and communal consideration is infinitely more damaging to this game than kicking a new player from Sohr Khai because there was no discernible evidence they had a clue what they were doing.

When something is bad, you call it what it is. The first step to improving is recognizing what needs to be improved. You can't do that when the TC is blinded by self-entitlement and is enabled by a bunch of people blinded by their self-righteousness.
