Duty Finder Roulette Etiquette

You're going to last long. /s

actually? yes. been in eorzea since 2.0 and i never had to deal with so much stupidity before. and i never regret calling out someone in a group because he acts like an idiot. i dont care for internet respect or approval of other people. i play the game cuz i like it and i know where im going with the things i do. dont like? sthu or take your 30 like a man. specially if you're a new player from another mmo or a cash shop leveled up class that cant align 2 skills without messing them up

My #1 duty finder etiquette is that I expect tanks to pull no less than 2 packs at a time, healers to know how to heal through big pulls (that means holy is mandatory for white mages, not optional), and DPS to use AoE.

Or, if your party doesn’t like the way you’re doing things, they can dismiss you. Majority rules.

"If you pull it, you tank it" is a common held stance across the entire MMO genre. It's not unique to FFXIV or WoW or EQ2. If you're not the tank, and you're pulling, you're not being a team player.

I know. It doesn't make it any less silly of a mindset. And one could argue the tank isn't being a team player since their response to once instance of a DPS pulling is to let them die. Again, all you've done is make the run slower and/or put more work on the healer.

As for trusts they are leveled up to the level of the dungeon as you are going thru the story so you can use them to get thru the story. They only delevel and you have to level them after you have completed the main story.

You missed something important... Rule number 1.
For DF...
Have Fun, and let others have fun.

Now, Raid Finder, that's another story.

Yeah, but I haven't received that impression as much as far as etiquette goes. Fast clears seems to trump fun from what I've experienced (which is nice if fast clears is something one finds fun I suppose)

I pulled more as sch once, and tanked it just fine using my sheilds, but a tank still got mad at me, even though we didn't wipe. Not all like the "You pull it, you tank it" rule I guess.

One could argue that, but it would be false argument. The tank is fulfilling their role by tanking. If the DPS are pulling, they are not following their role, and thus are not being a team player. Accidental pulls, I'll grab the adds. If I see DPS or Healer intentionally run ahead and pull, I will switch to single target and let the adds kill whoever pulled. Don't pull for me unless I know you. Ask me politely to pull more and I'll be glad to. But if you try to do my job for me, you get to try and fail at it.
