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

Please don't make snarky dumb comments about the glams of people not '' adhereing to the weather ''...
Okay?

Seriously..
There's few things that I hate more than people trying to modesty police you but who are too cowardly and perhaps seem to have some semblance of self-awareness about how douchey it is who make comments akin to '' Aren't you cold? put on a sweater sweetheart. '' in some pretend effort to showcase '' concern ''...
Fuck off... Seriously.
It's really hard for me to pretend not to hate you the rest of the run o_o.

I mean, if they came at you like "stop dressing like a cheap hooker", I can see being annoyed, but sounds like they were just making a silly joke / small talk.

Well I just did a run with the "Sloppy" dude.
DNC had tunnel vision the entire time.
LolDRG had even more tunnel vision the entire time by standing in aoes relying on EJ to do anything and still get hit lmao.
Tank was solid.

Very end, got chained, they didn't turn around and bother to help me and I died.
No apologies, no nothing not even a comm for my death lol. At least the tank tried to save me but it was too late.
I mean, if I mess up and kill someone on accident like that, I apologise at least...Rude.

If you're a DNC and you have tunnel vision, shame on you...
I guess the DRG gets a free pass since a lot of them do this.
Not a big complaint but please pay attention to mechanics ffs...at level 60 no less.
Thank you for trying, my small Lala friend.

That sounds very similar to a blm and sam I had while I went into the Wall as whm and friend as pld to get my alt through it. Dps flat-out ignored the chain mechanic and we wiped 3 times before we put up a vote abandon. It honestly made me want to just reach through the screen and pimpslap those dps, but I digress.

Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

Decided to level my PLD a bit. Queue for Leveling Roulette. Get dropped into Sohm Al.
Ok, shouldn't be too hard right? Off i go for a big pull.
Had to use all my CDs including Hallowed Ground just to barely survive, so i decided to check the healer...



Maybe I should just stay away from leveling roulette for a while...

I just had a level 79 DRK with 70 gear in the wall.
My game froze for no more than 2 seconds and she died to 2 mobs.
Wouldn't accept my rez and forced the NIN to tank.
Also the team left instantly so I lost my AST wep bc I tried to remove crap from my inventory.

I just think at this high in the game, you really shouldn't be damneds horrible...lol.
Like Jesus man. I don't say nothing, but we have this topic to vent that out haha.

Bads night out lately from the looks of it lol.

Working on leveling up my SMN. Lets do Mt. Gulg in PF for the first time.
Got tank (dont remember what), Monk, White mage and me, off we go.
Tank pulls small - whatever - then mob before the first boss takes longer than normal. Then I notice there are only 3 of us. The Tank bailed on us? We ponder what to do.
We wait for a bit, no new tank (meanwhile I'm asking in FC chat if anyone is available). Healer says lets go so three of us take on the first boss. Takes a while but the three of us manage burn him down.
A tank shows up from my FC, Gungnir, greetings exchanged and off we go.
Gungir proceeds to pull everything wall to wall for the next mob set, which we promptly kill.

WHM: now THATS a tank.
WHM: gj

We then roll through the rest dungeon with no problems. At the end:

WHM: ty last guy that left was doing single pulls.
MNK: ty for being a good DRK.

Got my clear, got level 80, got help from FC, everyone happy.

Thanks again Gungnir.

I'd say you need to chill out but you already seem pretty cold from the lack of proper clothing. Really though sounds like they were just joking around a bit with small talk like someone else said. You need not take it seriously.

So, uh... wow. Is it just me, or has the quality of the duty finder plummeted recently? I've been grinding like a madwoman to try and get all the DoW classes to Lv80 for the title, and I've basically seen nothing but nightmare parties around every corner. This one from a couple days ago popped out the most to me, though.

So I'm working on Dancer now. Lv61, no biggie! I'm too low-leveled to get stuck with the jump potion users up in Holminster Switch who don't even know how to press half of their buttons, let alone perform their roles effectively. Plus these dungeons are easy, so this'll be fast... right? What could go wrong?

I load up the first dungeon, Sirensong Sea. I get a DRK buddy, a SCH, and a RDM. The DRK is a sprout, speaks up that this is his first time here. Okay, that's alright. This is an easy dungeon to start off with, and the boss mechanics aren't too hard. We'll probably be stuck with single pulls, but oh we—

Wait, what the...? The tank made the first pull and INSTANTLY died? What the hell happened!?

And that's when I take a peek at the top left corner of my screen and see the dude's HP.



WHY DOES THE TANK HAVE HALF OF MY MAX HP!?

More baffled than upset, I inspect the dude... and he's wearing gear that would have been outdated at the end of ARR. All normal-quality Lv50 stuff.

So uh... I like sprouts. I like helping people who are new to the game. That is the SOLE reason I didn't instantly try and kick this guy. He should have been getting gear left and right from past dungeons and the MSQ stuff, and he just... decided not to equip it.

The SCH is a trooper, says that we'll press on anyway after I put my unfortunate discovery into party chat. Queue the most painful run of Sirensong Sea ever: The RDM and I constantly ripping aggro off the severely undergeared tank (EVEN THOUGH HE HAD TANK STANCE ON), and us tanking the bosses more often than the DRK because their untelegraphed tankbusters would INSTANTLY kill him.

After a series of long, painful pulls and countless deaths, we clear. The tank says "GG" and leaves.

...

NO. NO, NO, NO. THIS IS NOT "GG". THAT WAS A FREAKING TRAVESTY. PLEASE, PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR GEAR! FOR OUR SAKES, AND THE SAKE OF EVERYONE ELSE IN YOUR PARTY! YOUR DPSES TANKING FOR YOU IS NOT OKAY.

[Crushnight]

Just a bad lazy tank

The tank either boosted after getting to 50 or alt job never got gear because its impossible to go into Bealsar's wall unless unsyncd with that bad level of gear

[Cincierta]

Just got out of a cutter's cry pt while trying to level up mch. Got a drg that never used Disembowel, Doom Spike, and Life Surge; but would occasionally use Lance Charge and Jump. Tank masspulled, thinking it would at least coax the drg to use aoes. Nope.

Was a very strange sight, and a slower dungeon run.

Annnnd i just read that and my 50/60/70 roulet pops... Hullbreaker hard. ok hate it but whatever. Notice the gnb has just 1k more life then my sam, the dnc was low too... checked since they had the same last name and both D... they filled the gabs of what the job dont hands you for free with lv 1 garbage and some random lv 30-40 drops.
