In Alphascape (doesn't matter which one as it's happened multiple times in different fights)

All four DPS dead, 2 healers and 2 tanks alive, lvl 3 Limit Break ready, healer gets stack marker, runs it into the remaining party... aaaand wipe.

*slow clap*

Niiiiice.

I have been both that healer, and the healer who goes, Nope. *Runs away* casts LB3.

Last night I got Deepcroft normal while doing roulettes, got the notice for a new player. Great, thought it was the GLA, did a check. Nope, he had several 50s and 60s. Checked the MNK, nope there either, bunch of 60s and some crafter/gatherer classes leveled up. Checked the SMN, nope there either, had 6 60s on their search info. I wondered who it was the entire dungeon run until we got to the boss room and I see the notice in the chatlog: 'SMN has achieved: mapping the realm Tam-Tara Deepcroft'.

For the rest of the night, I wondered just how deep that smn's pockets were.

Could have been they missed a side room or some small part of the map. I didn't get the full mapping achievement for Sastasha until about a year after I started playing because of all the little siderooms people don't go into anymore.

There was a new player notice at the beginning, so that wasn't the case.

I've been running healer more often than bard lately for roulettes/trials etc and I ended up getting Hell's Lid on my AST for a 70 roulette. Everything seemed normal, Diurnal on, Protect, start down that slope to the first set of 3 crab adds - and the tank left party. Didn't say anything at all. NIN, MCH and I hung around a couple of mins before going "whatever" and set off 3manning the dungeon. MCH was in full 380 crafted so ended up tanking and just. I had so much fun in that dungeon doing it a 3 man. Obviously it was slower since I wasn't able to DPS so much what with keeping the MCH alive but I still got out a fair amount of DPS.

We'd just finished the 2nd boss when a tank from my FC queue'd into help and we promptly blasted through the last pulls and boss. Honestly I really wanna do that again =D

Hmm. Eh, not really a concern of mine what people spend their money on. If they wanna jump stuff, well that's them. Could have also been an alt - MSQ skips still give bonuses for dungeons despite them being marked as complete in the player's journal.

What's worse is that we didn't even go into any of the side rooms at all the entire run. The tank would get close enough to pull mobs out and back into the hallway for us to mow down, but the smn would stay close to me, since I hung out near the rear as healer. If anything, they never left my hip.

Sadly, that's the norm nowadays - people don't really explore the side rooms. That's why it took me so long to get the mapping achievement for Sastasha lol.

Some dungeons you actually can go back and poke your head into those rooms provided you don't get too close to the mobs if they've been ignored during the run. I found this out the fun way one day after the pug I was in cleared the dungeon and they had all exited except me.

On another note, just got out of a party where the tank let the rest of the party I was in do the tanking for him in roulette, then admits to 'cheating his way' to Ishgard just to unlock drk. Thankfully it was Halatali, but had it been Quarn normal or higher, I would have 'noped' out of there fast. Only job the guy had leveled was a 52 war. What he meant by 'cheating his way' I honestly have no idea, as I was trying to keep my party healed and the nin and brd were eager to finish the dungeon.
