So what if you been playing MMOs for nearly two decades,some I am sure some here have more then that.
I'm not interesting in engaging in a pissing contest. I'm merely saying I've been playing these sorts of games long enough to understand what teamwork is, since the implication was that I didn't.


If you think Castrum Abania in i272 as a tank is acceptable teamwork then you got no clue what constitutes teamwork in this game.
Yeah, doing something at a perfectly acceptable level is definitely indicative of someone not understand how teamwork works.

Do you usually blast people for not doing the absolute best that they can? If anything, I'd say that's not very conducive to being a team player, yourself.

The only reason you are saying this is because you are ignoring what people say here.
I272 is too low for Castrum Abania and even with all this spam, you failed to show otherwise. You only think it is fine because you think you are winning a losing argument.
It isn't, because I leveled every class through this dungeon at roughly that gear level and it was perfectly fine. Never once did I feel like I was underperforming, and I know what it's like to feel like you're underperforming because I've been pushed into actual difficult content well before I was ready to attempt it before.

Has Fynlar ever healed an under geared tank in a pug setting?
I've healed for tanks that had less HP than the rest of the party before. (Hint: *that* is what undergeared means.)

It kinda can be, though. A tank who doesn't quite understand how to play their Job in i270 gear in Abania will likely lose hate left and right and potentially get one shotted
If you don't know how to play your job by this point in the game (which is already unacceptable for a multitude of reasons), you're going to lose hate and die no matter what you're wearing. That's a fault of you not knowing how to play the game, not your gear.

You're not suddenly an invalid just because you're wearing i270 in this dungeon. This entire thread has been vastly overplaying the amount of difference the few handfuls of better gear you can get by this point will make.
