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

Isn't it a standard these days ?

Sadly it is. It seems like every "field" of gameplay is infected with lazy people and / or idiots.

Wanna play a tank? Have fun dealing with other tanks that are just waiting to ruin your next runs!
Wanna play a dps? Be prepared to carry the other dps in roulettes! They are paying for their sub, so how can you honestly expect them to press more than 1, 2 and 3?
Wanna play a healer? Experience first-hand how most tanks are completely oblivious of their defensive cooldowns! Oh, did you want to do some dps in 8 man content? Too bad for you, your co-healer was born in Cleric Stance so they won't start healing anytime soon!

You litterally summed the state of the game and how i became more and more sarcastic in DF.
That's a pain...

So many bad runs tonight:

-Did Ramuh EX for WT. We had a new player bonus. Mount drops and the new guy ended up winning it.

As a pretty new player who still has to unlock a lot of content, and who will probably go after Ramuh EX via party finder (I was trying to do all the EX synced with DF - somehow managed for Garuda, Titan and Ifrit, but after the ****storm that was Shiva EX I gave up) I have to ask: what's wrong about this?
If the PF will have <Wondrous Tails> in description, there will be no Ilvl requirement/I pass it, and there won't be any mention of "no bonus", I will join the party, definitely roll need on the mount if it drops, and I see no reason why I should feel guilty or something if I win.

[Watachy]

Snip

You should not guilty about it, if you're into the requierements of the PF feel free to join and roll on everything you want.
This guy just seemed a bit salty that's all.

Ponies ain't a real deal nowadays, when i was a new player and got my first one, i love it and that became a motivation to continue the game until i got'em all.
If you need some help for pony runs feel free to whisp me

Lol, I had a summoner in lvl 60 roulette who entered the Dreadwyrm trance ONLY to cast Deathflare the first second. And as luck would have it, got a RP-walking tank in the same group who couldn't keep aggro or.. Well.. Tank in general. 10/10 would do again

Honestly, if I saw a macro like that I'd assume the healer was being snarky and trying to start a fight. Its hard to judge a person's intent in text but since almost all macros I see are some form of humor at the targets expense or sarcasm/snark in some form, thats what I'd default to judging you on. If you followed that up with trying to tell me how to tank, yeah I'd be resistant to anything you had to say. Often its as much about how people perceive what you're doing as it is what you're actually doing.

Dun Scaith as AST and my friend was SCH.
We kept rising other alliances healers because people who got marks kept running towards their healers for some reason and killed them.
Eventually their alliance falls down because they don't have healers.
Raising healers and helping them heal their alliance while keeping an eye on our own.
We were burning our MP, so I asked for MP (Every party had a BRD or MCH) I said to help their healers.
What did I get called? A Trash. Trashy healer because I did not manage my MP. Really?
We wouldn't have MP issues if it wasn't for a whole alliance dying.
My friend got worked up and said THANK ALLIANCE B HEALERS! (Which is us) after we cleared it.

Next time I'm gonna shout my raise macros (This is a joke, don't report me)
Don't think people know how much healers go through in these 24 man raids.

Don't think people know how much healers go through in these 24 man raids.

Some of us do know.

Thank you for your hard work.

[ErryK]

That's a cringey macro, don't use it.

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

That's a cringey macro, don't use it.

This is even more cringey than the Last Resort macros every DRK on FF11 had. And every one of them thought their joke was original.
