What things annoy you?

[NessaWyvern]

Players who say "waste of resources" whenever someone suggests something new on the forums, or when SE releases a new PvP mode.
More diversity in the game attracts more players, which attracts more money, which results in more money for more resources. Plus "waste of resources" is such a fun police statement. I always get a little annoyed when I read it.

2 things in my mind right now:

1 - When i play as Healer ( Main Tank ) and cast Asylum, Sacred Soil or Earthly Star and the tank move out the bubble and stand out of it. That drives me into the madness.

2 - There's someone in my server who stand dancing AFK everyday at same place in end-game point ( Mor Dhona, Idylshire, R'Reach and now Elmore ), i don't even know the reason why that person play to do that, i thought the user died while was playing but there's no way since maintenance force you to log out and he's doing this since ever. That annoys me, always that i go to the same zone i turn the screen away from him to not see his character Dancing AFK at same place and position without end.

I know the dude, he's not always AFK though, sometimes he does move from there. He also talks occasionally, for example, when I told him he could /visor the coeurl mask to make the eyes glow.

Also, there is actually more than one person who dances afk for seemingly no end, that one in kugane is a different person, I think.

YES! I've suggested a couple fluff things over the last couple years that annoy me that I'd wish they'd change, like enabling both genders unsheathed weapon poses so I can stab my sword in the ground as a male DRK or use my lance as a leaning post as a male DRG. Pretty sure that thread got a few "waste of resources" posts, even though my main post that started the thread has OVER 100 LIKES and MANY replies in support (so clearly this is wanted).

So a couple of my annoyances are forced visual things, like making certain poses gender locked (as mentioned before) and things like the green glowing hurricane effect of Greased Lightning (I don't need a visual indicator covering my entire character swirling around when there's a gauge that tells me how many stacks I have), and also people that think making things like that optional is a waste of resources.

Maybe waste of resources is the wrong term, perhaps then just saying it should be lower on their priority list. There are huge glaring issues that need to be addressed first before anything. Nobody is going to sub to a game for idle poses, sad to say. Not to say I wouldn't like some more, or special running animations for every job if they have their weapon unsheathed (ie RDM and MCH) but I'd rather they worked on that after stuff like, ninja and healers.

1. Dancers who think they are melee so stand right up front near the boss and clip the actual melees with aoes who have to actually be close to the boss.

2. Healers who only keep dpsing when everyone's health is getting low, the tank is mid health and others are dead, but at least we're tossing stones at the boss.

3. Day one of ex drops and pf already with clear only, please don't suck, etc etc "although that one is more funny to me then anything"

Not always the case I'm sure but I imagine some dancers are close to a melee so they can use their cure stacked with their partner or like if a dragoon has tethered them. Or they might be using their upgraded AoE skills from that one "unlock everything" utility skill lol.

There was a healer that detethered me from my dragoon buddy because they thought I should be in back XD. I was like "....no?" and ran right back up into range so I could heal share and be in contact (not inside the boss's circle or anything but still fairly close).

Of course ideally you position yourself so you can avoid stuff, like if I get a marker I'll dash back out of range drop it and then dash back into range again while attacking the whole time- something a melee couldn't really do.

Another might be they're afraid their dance wont hit the boss so they move in closer, although technically the range on the dance is really really big so.. unlikely unless you're across the arena lol.

Was just trying to add that they might have a reason to at least be semi-close to the boss lol. I'm sure there are cases where they're just messing people up though, people being people.

We have to get in melee range for a few seconds every minute to make full use of our Flourish CD. Show me a dancer who stays out of melee the whole time and I'll show you a dancer who can't read a tooltip.

I wanted to say something... There seems to be a prejudiced towards Party Finder ppl. Throughout those years, i've seen many thinking that they won't be able to pass this "duty" if they add a random in their group but from what i've seen, those randoms usually are the ones that have practised harder for a boss fight and they are the ones that they don't expect for someone else to call out their mechanic to do it right. I honestly don't have a bad experience through PF. The only big problem i see is during heavy mechanics fights and unforgiving boss attacks, which is not easy to get used to the new group with zero mistakes and it's easy through PF to give up.
Don't hesitate to give them a chance please though and be clear on what you are looking for!
You have the option to recruit ppl for practise, for duty completion, for the ones that have already cleared it with duty complete, the option to add comments, the specific jobs you might need... Do consider to be more open with Party Finder!

And for those that are already in a static.. give your leader a break! For one person to call out all the mechanics all the time endlessly, wipe after wipe, perhaps because the rest didn't take a look at the fight ..is not how it should be in my opinion!

Yeah and I've never insisted these kind of things should be a high priority, but it hurts no one to request the things you'd like to see happen. Will I quit if they don't implement my suggestions? No, at least that wouldn't be my reason for quitting if I eventually do.
