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

So got Doma Castle on the leveling Roulette last night and the healer, an AST, leaves the group right after the first boss when the Vanguard appears. No warning, no nothing. Just leaves right as I pull the Vanguard. And the run was going fairly smooth up till then. Now it was the dpses first time on the run but we were only 10-11 minutes in, the party hadn't wiped once, in fact nobody in the party had even died once and we had just cleared the first boss with no problems. If you have something come up in real life or just don't like the dungeon I can understand that but could you at least give the rest of the team a warning before you leave?

Just wanted to comment to do with the whole thread, I have to admit light party troubles are sigh... and even running into toxic behaviour.
But I have to be honest in 8/24 person, I find wipes the most interesting things, quiet simply because I never expect people to have troubles, I'll commendate a dragoon who accidentally Jumps off an edge xD, my giggles usually lead to instant karma if I do

Fun times in PotD. One party member wandered off, opened a Mimic, and came running back to the party like a bat out of hell. We kill the Mimic, and it drops a chest. The same person opens it.....and it's another Mimic. He tries to bolt again....and runs into a luring trap. Everyone but that first person ends up dead, he barely survives. Instead of slipping off for the cairn to raise us, he decides to open a chest that dropped in the middle of the trap.

It's another Mimic.

Went about as well as you'd expect.

"I found a mimic that dropped a mimic that dropped a mimic that dropped a bomb."

"It was a sad day."

Today, I decided to do a dungeon before work. I need to complete it before I can continue my grind on the MSQs. The queue was a long one, but it finally popped and I ported into the dungeon to catch a very obscene conversation between two of the people in the dungeon. I won't repeat that part of the conversation. It's not safe for work. Here's what followed:

Me: "I see the maturity level in this group is top notch."
Immature DPS: "Brah! How do you even parse!" Unless you blue, don't even talk to me! I wish I was a tank because I'd shark you so bad" (I believe the word was "shark" - going by memory)
Me: "Blah Blah Blah. I'll wait for the next group"
Immature DPS: "OMG I so wish I could shark you right now!"

I then left the group. No dungeon before work, but I am fine with grabbing a better group tonight when I get home. I showed the conversation to my wife and she replied, "What are they, 12?!"

Childish children.

I think what he meant was "Shirk" in which the tank transfers a massive amount of aggro to a team member (great for Tank swaps; wonderful for Tank trolls). And you never know, you may have ran into a couple of 12 year-olds. I was playing Final Fantasy at 6 when 7 specifically said T for Teen. I figured that rating was a suggestion.

[Nabril]

Shirk! you're right! That's the word they used. Thanks for explaining what it means.

Shoutout to the mentor MNK in Haukke Manor NM just now who refused to participate in any boss fights and rolled Need on every drop they could despite doing nothing. I even asked "you just gonna stand there?" and they said "Yes." I hope every other group you try to pull that on kicks you out the same as we did.

We need a Red Foreman button from That 70's Show.

"You just gonna stand there?'
"Yes."
*Press Red Button*
"You won't be standing long with my foot up your ass."

Admit it. You read that in his voice.

They need to make Mentors more easily reportable, and they need to be held to higher standards.

If a Mentor stands around in a boss fight and does nothing, and if all 3 members of the group report them, then a GM should look into logs and if they were indeed doing that, then they should instantly lose their mentor status right then and there.

They need to be held accountable for this crap.
