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

[FinaSel]

I got chewed out at the end of my duty for running the entire dungeon without applying poison to my blades as a Ninja.

(Hint: That ability was removed in Stormblood.)

Usualy i am the one that just read about everything thats happening in this thread but today i felt like venting for the first time so let me tell you guys what happend when i tried the shinryu trial for the first time. i main WAR for a pretty long time so i though it was best to do the OT cause we had a PLD at the trial and didn't know anything about how the tank should stack together for 1 ability anyway after trial and error for the 3th time one of the healer starts to jump on me for not knowing or understanding for the mechanics while i clearly stated that i did this trial for the first time at the beginning of the trial. His explaination also didn't make much sense even my brother who was there didn't get his explaination at all. So after the 4th wipe he asks to get kicked from the trial and insults are throwed towards me failing the mechanic's not swearing or anything but just that i should know everything by now in a rude way. anyway the PLD was a real nice guy and agree that the healer should be so rude and angry but in the end the party abadoned.

The second party went much smoother after that and i now finaly realise i should be near the tank at all times except if the chains are on me. So far this was the worst experience i had in a duty finder.

Sounds like that is a valid case for a harassment report.

It wasn't realy a long conversation so i let it slide this time but next time i wil think about it. Not sure if it even helped to report there.

Reporting may not get them actioned at this time...
Maybe they'll get a warning.

But, it will be a mark on their record, and future transgressions in the future will be weighed more heavily.
They will learn to behave themselves.



If no one ever reports these people, nothing can get done.
They continue to think they can do whatever they want to others, and other people will end up on the receiving end of their ire.

Reporting problem players reduces the amount of people they can affect with their negativity.

I think the worst I've gotten was...I was tanking Aurum Vale as a WAR, was getting ready for the first pull...I Tomahawk pull the first Nix in there, and I accidentally step too close and also pull the two mushroom mobs on the side. I overpower to get threat on them, and miss one with it, it gets on the pug healer for just a quick second, but I instantly provoked it off them and gain threat on it. All good, right? Apparently not, according to the lalafel white mage. I get accosted suddenly after the pull. "What is threat?" "Didn't know I was gonna be the tank lol" My boyfriend tried to get them to calm down by being silly. The white and black mage (whom I think was with the healer...their names rhymed similarly.) weren't having it. "Shut up. You're not funny." "Can you just do damage." I was livid. I was not about to put up with this rude treatment for an hour. I left dungeon...if they're gonna be hypercritical, elitist jerks, they can do it on their own time, not on mine.

Had a pretty great Susano run yesterday.

The PLD dies very early on so I take over as MT with my WAR. Others die but they get raised and healed. It's not pretty but we're struggling through. Saving LB3 for the healers.

It gets to the part where the three clouds are out and their column aoe completely corners me. My sprint wears midway and I see that I won't make it. I use Holmgang at the last second and manage to save myself. First epic Holmgang of SB. Healers+equilibrium+inner beast+thrill of battle get me to a reasonable hp level.
However, it's all starting to go south. People are getting hit hard. The healers are doing what they can but people are getting low. I get hit especially hard by something and die. I look at the party window and a healer and some dps were also down. Boss is at 1%. The remaining healer uses LB3 just a split second after I die. I get threat back and we finish the fight. A super messy one-shot that felt really good to win through.

[Acantha]

Yeah I do that too...lol

BUT, it sure is frustrating to use...as typical DF groups go you get people who will stand just an inch outside of it so they don't get healed and I'm like ...."HELLO!?" :/

Tell me about it :P I stand in the middle and jump around like a crazy person like "please! just get in the circle!! ... oh ok you all missed it but me. WELL THANKS :|" lol

First attempt at Shinryu, couple of early wipes as people need to learn mechanics.

We get to below 15% HP on the boss and then, suddenly, no one can seem to stay alive anymore....even with killing the tails.

Dear people in Shinry, when you're chained together please run far apart. Don't stand next to each other x_x. Other than that, you did a good job and we possibly could have cleared it if time had been on our side.

Also please do not move on diamond dust, thanks.

I've got a really thick skin but a guy dropped "don't ever play AST again. Terrible. " after a hectic Susano run the day after EA went live: I still reported him, there's no need for it and people need negative reinforcement to curb their undeserved egos sometimes.

On topic: I've rolled a lala CNJ alt for the new realm bonus stuff, I've enjoyed creeping slow walking towards people during fights doing /laugh (one of the voice sets is horribly creepy.) One guy yesterday promised me his comm if I "spared his first born."
