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

After several posts from this account under this label, I have to ask: does your gf know she can just create her own forum-account?
And that, in case she got banned, she (and you) are better off with accepting that instead of circumventing said ban and the rules?

...I know this is bothering me more than it should (aka: not at all) but if you two are considering it relevant who of you speaks/posts, why not seperate the two of you by having your own accounts?

I was under the impression that account sharing was against the ToS to begin with.

Thats sorta what I was hinting at when I said they would be better off if they stopped implying they were doing that

I just didnt wanted to accuse anyone of anything directly - but afaik you can get in trouble for either account sharing or for circumventing a ban by using someone elses account, so my advice for them would really be to stop doing that

Akashi can you please not lol. This ain't the right thread for that crap.

Anyways, don't have anything recent so I'll just share some two stories I personally found fun.

Doing WoD for aether oil, and the group was a bit shaky. Nothing too bad though. Just figured there might've been some new people. So we get to Angra Mainyu and whoo boy it was a fun ride indeed. Literally half of Alliance A and C get killed by level 150 Flare. We nearly wiped tbh. Really don't know what happened there? New people? Possible but half their alliances died. They forgot the mechanics? It's possible. Or because it's level 50 content they thought you could rush it? Idk. I'm not in any position to judge because I didn't notice getting Doom on me and died like an idiot lol.


Here's an older one that had me perplexed for a few. Got Ramuh in trial roulette. Not bad right? Wrong. Literally no one bothered to do mechanics. At all. There was no bonuses so no one was new they just... couldn't be bothered? Idk (I really think that was the case though). I'm literally sitting there with Terror on me waiting for someone to help me but nope... I'm also watching over people get Terror'd and no one helps them. I really wanted to pipe up but anxiety prevented me from. The good news is we prevailed! Somehow. But man it took forever to do.

;; Queued for leveling roulette with a friend. I was my alt WAR they were NIN.

Healer immediately left. We wait... No heals. Sure we could leave and requeue, but I have a great disdain for that. As a DPS main, thinking of the other DPS having to queue back up for roulette upsets me.

So I leave and requeue as my main character, as healer, and we go in and do small pulls.

Its tough but we make it a few pulls, I heal the two dps.

We get a tank.

They leave.

We get a tank.

They leave.

I'm getting anxious at this point.

Finally the next tank makes it in and I'm like. "Please don't leave us."

lol the tank says "I have work in like an hour."

We get the run underway and we kill all the things.

ALL THE THINGS. With not a single problem.

:/ I will never get why people just leave like that at the start of dungeons without even trying.

GET. GUD.

What dungeon was it?

Akashi can you please not lol. This ain't the right thread for that crap.

I can say the same thing about what I mentioned in my original post. Not everyone has to agree with your opinion, and telling someone to stop for expressing theirs is furthering cementing what I was commenting on.

So went to a leveling roulette, got Sohm Al, nothing too far out of the ordinary about that.

Tank does the standard of pulling both packs at each section before the first boss, but it takes AGES to things to die, and even wiping on one of the pulls because the healer just couldn't keep up with the damage. At first I thought "oh, maybe this tank isn't all that geared and is getting hit a bit harder than normal", until I saw the DRG in our party....

This DRG was using NO combos whatsoever. Used ogcd abilities almost as soon as they came off cooldown, but kept spamming Heavy Thrust or Chaos Thrust--not the combos, just the single skills--and the occasional spamming of Piercing Talon (the javelin throw). Now using some combo skills without the combo might be normal if, say, this was some lowbie dungeon, but no. This was post-50 and the DRG was not only 60, but also had the Hyperconductive relic. At this point, I was wondering if it was either a bot, a troll, or an idiot; but either way, I stated it to the tank and healer in the group and we kicked them before the last boss since we knew it'd take forever if they stayed.

Fortunately, we got a NIN who wasn't a bot, a troll, or an idiot, and we all left happily ever after.
