So, uh, this time I was the complete idiot...Doing Abania on SCH for the millionth time for Ethica and I guess I just... zoned out. Got oneshot by an invisible AoE on the first boss, I guess it just didn't register to my brain, lead to a wipe. Died on the last boss to the meteor which was dropped right on my head and I was too stupid/slow to move far enough away, thankfully no one else died and we finished. Or, rather, they did because I was doing the run of shame back to the boss. Group probably thought I was an absolute brainlet and I don't blame them lmao. Didn't get Ethica, didn't really deserve it anyway after that performance. Got a pity comm though!

　I:m getting a super raised anger with the speed buff from range...

Wait like... what?

Back before I had Pelton keybound to something I could spam I always had people saying weird random stuff at me like “Bard...” or “wtf bard...” or “gee I wish someone could cast Peleton, like WTF...”

I didn’t realize for a long time that they were talking about me or what Peleton was.

Once I did... well I spam that thing anytime I am out of combat and suddenly started getting commendations when going as a DPS...

I cannot understand why anyone would not want that ability cast... and somewhat embarrassed that I didn’t read it and bind it until 5.0!and getting Dancer... :O

　I:m getting a super raised anger with the speed buff from range... I almost left a dungeon out of spite cause of it. I didn:t and just dealed with it but I can:t explain it. I HATE it to my core atm. I was screaming at the tv everytime the bard used it. I KNOW t:s all a me thing and I KNOW noone is going to understand it and call me names cause of it... but I can:t help it right now... it pisses me off. And I can:t not do dungeons cause I need the levels. Might be tied to something bigger but everytime it:s used I get instantly pissed and want to either kick the person for using it on me OR boot myself from the dungeon. Again.. I:ve NEVER done either or these but it:s how I feel. Maybe it:s just I:m sick of the - gotta go fast- thing people have in this game, even when you wipe or whatever. I didn:t think I still had issues with that as I just got used to it. But some reason right now.. I REALLY hate that buff and want to punch it off my screen with the most hate and anger ever... I:m talking 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 etc etc etc of force. THATS how mad I get when it happens. And yes it makes NO sense... but it:s honestly how I get.

I:m just gonna have to learn to get over it but right now this is how I feel. T.T

Just right click it off, dude.

Sometimes I forget to use it but no one says anything x_x.

@Insertcoins: pelaton doesn't slow down leveling.

This... is not about Peloton. I seriously suggest you seek some professional help. This has nothing to do with a minor speed boost in a video game. This is coming from somewhere else and you need to get this addressed before it ruins your life.

You need help.

If I were you, I would take a break from the game before you do or say something you can't take back.

So the healer set the boundary that if this DPS continued to pull in advance of the tank, they would not be healing them. (A pretty standard duty finder boundary, in my experience)

The healer submitted a report on this player after the fact. They were honest and immediate.
Today they were informed that they were being suspended for three days.
The technical reason given was "MPK" but contextually, they are being punished for failing to acquiesce with a troll's demands, and for not throwing a new player under the bus to accommodate a single impatient, selfish player.

I wonder if this would have gone differently if the healer hadn't set that boundary (in chat). But it seems like they have a very weird idea of MPK, since a DPS pulling and getting the party repetitively killed (in the context where they try to help) does not apparently qualify.

But who knows maybe that person also got a suspension?

You might want to take your own advice there.

　Vanishga all the letters

I'm all about the chill pace during a dungeon. Only times I've used it is when im on an alliance raid. At that point I find it funny to repeatedly spam it with other physical ranged dps doing the same.

Should and need are words that tend to irk people.

I mean, you SHOULD have interrupts on a bar if you get them. Fullstop.

Utter inanity.

Whaaaaaaaat?


Why dont you want peloton every moment you arent in combat at all times?

[Insertcoins]

Just right click it off, dude.

You can:t. I tried. I WISH it was that simple lol. Otherwise I:d never been mad about it.
