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

I've cooked a frozen pizza during Prae cut scenes before. Preheat the oven during the intro, put it in during Gaius's first speech before the colossus fight, take it out during Gaius's speech on the elevator and set it to cool, cut it after the first Ultima Weapon fight, eat while Lahabrea rambles.

The problem is when you prepare in advance but then you don't get Prae and you don't have enough time to eat comfortably. xD Been there.

What's up with young tanks lately. Been getting alot of them in duty roulette that are always turning the tanks stand on and off on and off on and so on in a middle of a fight's and though i and other players try to explain to them how the t-stand work they keep on doing it ?????

An exploiter was very happy to tell us how he did it, during a Castrum fight.
And no, it wasn't even the dcing, apparently there are more methods, but of course I'm also not gonna write it here.
Obviously we kicked and reported them after.

......but why?

-Didn't read the patch notes that stance dancing is no longer a thing

-Fat fingering

-Fat fingering and didn't read the patch notes.

-Confused about why they lost that one mob, clicked their stance because they think it was off but really it was on, now they lose more mobs so they click it back on, they manage to grab but they forgot to move themselves to grab that one that they still didn't get in the first place, they finally check the enemy list on the right of their screen, click on the mob they couldn't tag, finally hit provoke and nab the little bugger. One party member managed to die during that whole shenanigan but at least balance was restored.

That last point was not based on a true story. Nope, totally not mine.

It's an exploit which SE has said before that they will take action against. Why not report it?

MSQ roulette is extremely serious business. I have sat through and watched them 300 times and cry almost everytime.

Ah, so it's on the principle of reporting.

This community truly needs shining beacons of integrity. Lord knows what these degenerates do the msq roulette when they insist on cutting ahead through their own means. I shall remember to do the same the next time I hear Nero getting whacked away during his cutscene while I may or may not be catching up on some Netflix shows.

Agreed. Reporting is not enough. Next ne'erdowell to skip these glorious cutscenes, I shall skip myself so that I may personally give them an earful.

And if you do it enough, some disgruntled people may or may not report you.

The game is like life. It has rules, and while sometimes intentionally and blatantly breaking rules can benefit you personally (often at the cost of other people), it is always risky. The "nobody cares" logic only works until somebody cares, and then you find yourself in trouble.

Were there new players in the MSQ run? Cause thats the only situation i could see skipping "costing" others something.

I said often, not always. My point is that breaking rules is always risky. The question is not whether or not it's risky, but rather how much risk is involved.
