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

Yeah in the process, because they get insta aggro and make me waste mp. I shirk them too so they learn

Or you could, you know, communicate to regen users (since ASTs can apply both regens and shields, depending on what sect they feel like using), to not to throw out a regen during a pull. If you just shirk them on first offense, that's just terrible on your part and you become a problem. Maybe that player hadn't been told before not to regen during pulls - I certainly wasn't until Doma Castle.

So just to share my little story.

Que up for a random DF as a Pally, before anything has even started the two DPS start talking about how crap their last tank was and then without me even doing anything other than saying, "Hi!! I'm new and I'll do my best!" start talking about how I will probably be just as bad and that the first mistake I make they will kick me. So at that point I have no desire to continue the dungeon with these types of people and simply ask to be kicked. To which I am greeted with slap emotes and, "Whats wrong with you!" etc..

I can't understand the logic where I am suppose to prove myself to a random person who I will probably never see again who has already assumed I suck and has started the whole run with a bad taste.

And people why there aren't much tanks available in duty finder and party finder. #thinking

They're probably one of those "RDM are supposed to be melee casters" people and are just doing it out of spite/as a protest.

Hey, if we can have pure healers, why not a pure fencer?

Pretty utterly stupid RDM - the fencing skills aren't worth much without them being enhanced.

[Rosentretter]

Oh sorry just seen the messages here and replying from my phone now: yeah I communicate to the party, I usually ask people to not do that but when they are total d***s I Shirk them. I know I can't go abusing of it so I just use it when people totally get on my nerves on purpose AFTER telling/asking them to not do that.

Then I would've /sit and Netflix

Never sit, there two penalties you can face with that choice. The sit action is recorded in the chat log and can reviewed by a GM later. They could wait out your idle timer for you to get the penalty.
I use a controller and rubber ban my toggles together, this causes me to run around in a circle. No chat history, no idle action timeout.

Good to know. Thanks

I want to act surprised that there's actually RDMs out there who use almost exclusively their melee skills, but at this point I really can't be surprised...

Yeah, this doesnt really surprise me either. I wish it did. Red seems like just about the easiest class to learn and play at a "proficient" level. I always wonder if these types of people are purposefully being trolly, or they just legit dont get how things go together. Like, did you never cast any of the spells to see how much damage they do? Did they not read what their level 1 trait does? I remember once a while back i was running a dungeon with an FC group(if i remember right, hullbreaker hard... i know it was a level 60 and believe it was around that timeframe). My BLM was paired with the BLM of another guy(one who usually tanked, but we had another tank along so they went for damage). Since it was an all FC group, they decided to mess around. Tank was doing odd pulls, me and the healer were playing it more or less straight, the other BLM announces that theyre going to try being an Ice Mage for awhile. So they did that for a few pulls... maybe a boss fight... then decide to try the even more rare varient, the Thunder Mage. That lasted half of one pull. They were so bored and so tired of doing minuscule damage that they switched back to being an actual Black Mage, and we finished the dungeon by melting things. That half a fight must have been truly painful, as there was no AoE thunder at the time. So they applied their one useful BLM DoT, switched targets, rinse and repeat for the 30-45 seconds it took them to come to their senses. Knowing how painful it was for them to play that poorly, i often go back to wondering about the people who legit do it wrong all the time. Once you know how the puzzle looks with all the pieces, i cant imagine most people being happy with just some of them. Eh, but what do i know?

[Awha]

Fun little story got a wanders palace while leveling up my DRG, tank tried to do the first section in one shot did not work out so well. After said wipe mommy and daddy wanted to pull the mini van over so they could have a little fight. It truly amazes me how some people get so salty after one wipe, though the truly amazing part was the thing that got them to stop fighting each other was when the other DPS and I just moved on ahead without them. They ended up using some fairly colorful language towards. Today I learned one thing that can bring even bickering tank and healers together is when DPS move ahead without them.

They got upset because we did not want wait for them to finish their so called discussion. Some people truly confuse me.
