What is with people?

Ya I would also report this!

There is no need for this in this game. If you don't like someone play style Leave and move on.
The likelyhood of ever randomly getting them again is super rare outside of PoTD zones... lol

Lmfao! I'm sorry that is hilarious! How do you not find that funny?

10/10 stealing.

I went into my settings and couldn't find this option to uncheckmark, please advise everyone because I could really use the help!!!

It was moved from there last patch and can now be found on the login screen to make it easier to find after a boost. >.>

No, it's hilarious then. You're a tank, you have instant ques.

If you don't want to watch a guide, clear it in the first wave. That's not elitist to expect, that's expecting everyone to do their part.

You don't show up a week late after all of these resources are available and expect someone that's been farming it all week to want to carry. You don't ever show up for a party expecting a carry, no matter what content you're queueing for.

If they've been farming it all week...wouldn't they be using the PF? Don't use the DF if you don't want to help/"carry" people who have never done the content. But of course don't go into content expecting to be carried. Do your best to learn.

"If you don't want to watch a guide, clear it in the first wave." What?

Also, sadly, it doesn't take much at all to set someone off.

I ran Alphascape 4 for the first time the other day (about 2 days after it was released). I, and a few others, said it was our first run, and a SAM (I forgot their name or I'd totally give them a shout out for being so amazing) began explaining some things to watch out for, what the markers were for, etc. While I'm reading/they're typing, someone else ran in and started the fight without warning. So I stopped reading and started fighting. We ended up wiping. But for some reason, the person who started the fight targeted me, deciding that I was a moron for not knowing which of the 4 markers to put the stack on.
I asked for clarification on some things, but he had already started the next round without letting anyone answer. We wiped again, and the same person goes off on how stupid I am for not remembering whatever "simple mechanic" he never let me read in the first place. He then leaves the party after some colorful language, and takes the two tanks with him. We got replacements, took a moment to communicate, and guess what? We won! Not right away, since the replacements were first timers as well, but. If the guy was so against anyone new, why on earth was he using the DF? Besides, the content was only 2 days old.

I've watched videos beforehand in the past, but to be honest I can catch on pretty quick even if I go in blindly. Granted it might take me a round or 2, but I find it more fun to NOT know every little thing to expect, and have some surprises along the way, because I know others around me are new as well, so we've got nothing to lose. It's a bit sad that a lot of players expect everyone who joins their party to have already had the exciting new content shown to them before ever trying it themselves. Are only the people who show up day 1 allowed the luxury of actually being surprised by the content and actually getting to learn it?

Also, watching a video isn't a 100% safeguard from rude players. Halicarnassus Savage. I watched a video and learned that fight like the back of my hand with practice, but one party I had decided to switch up the markers and fight strategy from literally EVERY SINGLE other party I'd had. Yeah, I died several times. What did they do? Raged at how stupid I was for not understanding they're randomly different approach to the fight.

Sorry for the rant, I just really wanted to share and I don't comment a lot, lol.

So after doing 1 run of alphascape v3.0 and we all wipe after the first round, and next thing you know i'm dismissed from the duty along with this message.

I'd really like to see a member of the party post some logs of what actually went down. Based on the last time you posted something like this, you left a lot of details out in your OP.

Since you were kicked by a majority of the group, you definitely were doing something you shouldn't have.

I stand by my original point before you blacklisted me in game. I will GLADLY teach you how to be a good PLD if you're interested. You just have to ask.

For others reading here is the context:

Boy that person is an idiot for putting that in party chat because that's totally reportable. Classic harassment and abuse of the vote kick system. Glad you reported them.

I don't think it's an abuse of vote kick at all. It seems of the 7 others, they agreed that the group was better off. Speaking personally, I wouldn't report someone if they said this to me. It's actually kinda funny, and HARDLY something worth getting upset/hurt about TBH.

I wish people were more willing to give actual advice and constructive criticism lol.

Then again I also wish more people in DF were willing to receive advice and constructive criticism.

See above.

I don't have to provide anything else other than i posted, i was kicked 1 Run of it 1 wipe, also wanna mention i was doing everything right, now that i think about it probably was a group of trolls, also i was upset because they sent that message as soon as they kicked me before i could say anything back, Another example of abuse of the kick system. also i don't need any teaching, I Have over 250 comms.

were you MT or OT?

There's not much the main tank or ot does in that fight though. Main tank rotates cooldowns, and mostly tries not to get hit by the fists. OT can grab the tether, but to be honest its just as easy if not, as long as the player who has it runs away from the group. In that fight if you wipe, its often more the healers getting nailed than anything; tanks and dps are only vital at the add phase, and theres little damage then.

Its hard to see how one wipe would get a response unless OP was over voking the tank, getting dead a ridiculous amount, etc.
