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

To be fair, you often get people in Brayflox without Job stones attached as the level of the dungeon is so close to level 30 people probably haven't yet done the quest.

I was one such person. Already had DRG and BRD(possibly others - it's been a while) at 50, and wasn't paying attention to my GLA level when I queued up for leveling roulette. I offered to leave if the party wanted me to so they could have someone with the job stone at the very least. Thankfully they said that we will give it a shot. One straight shot later, I had 3 comms and swiftly went to become a PLD.

Exactly, if everyone does their job it's manageable. However, E'Shira seems to have had someone hell bent on trolling and causing harm and making life difficult. The opposite of your experience I guess.

Yup, all it takes is everyone working together, and (almost) everything is clearable as long as you're at that level with 90% relevantly leveled gear.

Seriously? I wasn't exaggerating. I literally had 4 times where I either soloed a last boss OR seen crappy tanks or heals get babied. If you actually READ my comment you'd understand what I was saying. Stop or don't bring underhand comments cause I don't agree with you on a completely different topic. Jeeze. I understood her comment completely thank you btw. So THANKS for that.

This is why I advocate for a unmitigated wide open OFFICIAL parser. Tanks/Heals get feedback instantly for their performance whereas DPS get sheltered which is great if you're a bottom feeder, but if you're a good DPS you get lumped in with them anyway and it always goes unnoticed to the uninitiated.

I almost exclusively give my comms to DPS if they're actually good, but probably 40-60% of runs no one gets one. Just know that If I am ever tanking for you, I appreciate good DPS. Most often though a healer gets it because pug DPS are awful and my criteria for a healer is much lower, it's simply keep people alive and do appreciable DPS, not even good DPS, just appreciable.
