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

So you intentionally didn't do your job because the healer (and likely the dps) wanted you to do a standard double pull in a level 80 dungeon? And you forced a wipe on top of it, which is considered harassment and hindering the play of others?

Talk about egotistical and childish. You have to hit one button to take aggro, it isn't that hard and you need to shape up if you want to not repeatedly get kicked - not to mention reported. Because I sure would have, and you'd be the one hit with a strike.

1) I was already quit because I misqueued, but was gonna do the instance anyway so that’s moot.

2) Maybe if he voiced wanting to go faster instead of just pulling my character around with Rescue, I wouldn’t have wasted his time AND got what he wanted. But he didn’t. I repaid his rudeness in kind. I had no problem taking a 30 minute cool down, I had alt jobs to level.

You still actively griefed and harassed your party over a petty issue with the healer. You are the rudest one in the situation and you are the one who would get punished had anyone in that run reported you (which they honestly should have, egotistical children like you need the slaps on the wrist).

You blame the healer for not saying anything, yet you decided to actively be a prick rather than try to communicate with your party at all. You really can't defend your behavior on this, because it's verbatim trolling and negatively affecting the playtime of three other people.

Grow up.

Had another PLD in Matoya’s Relict spamming clemency instead of letting excog pop. What’s with the diaper baby tanks? Should they even have MP to cast clemency this often if they’re doing a proper rotation?

I have unfortunately run into many PLD tanks like that.

I put a recitation excog on them and then proceed to spam aoe while I wait for the excog to pop to heal them back to full. It's a sound strategy in every run, except when you get a PLD tank who spams clemency on themselves the instant they drop below 90%. The excog eventually expires and the PLD inevitably proceeds to ask me why I waited until the fight was over to finally heal them.

The way you act, I'll put rescue back on my bar, just for you. <3

Expert Roulette, Paglth'an. I'm tanking, I get matched with a solid ast and two no-button Andy returner dps.

I notice things are dying exceptionally slow on the way to first boss. No worries though, maybe if they're only single-targeting types they'll still be able to handle a single-target boss just fine.

Nope, the AST and 2 dps die on the first roomwide. Boss is at 90%. This is going to take a while.

I don't get many chances to goof off like this, so I solo the boss while the ast cheers me on as a corpse. The two dps get frustrated and leave by the time the boss is downed, and are replaced by two DPS capable of being an asset beyond Brayflox Longstop.

The rest of the run goes perfectly well; better than it would've gone otherwise. And for once, I didn't have to kick anyone.

I'll just say I'm so glad Bloodbath exists because I'm honestly getting REALLY tired of WHMs that don't heal.

[Ayuhra]

Whenever I see unnecessary movement, I think “ wow player”

But I'm a dancer! Being able to do my whole rotation while wandering around is part of the fun!

Part of me wonders why they left. You were clearly capable of carrying their sorry performing selves to the finish line without their help. You would think that people performing THAT poorly would be happy for a presumptive easy win. Of course, you could always have kicked them after(i certainly wouldnt have blamed you), so maybe they decided to break up with you before you could break up with them. So tragic.

Big pulls are the standard for level 80/expert roulette. Which I'm sure you qued into, no? If not, then I'll take a hit here. I can understand the healer rescuing you into another mob--which isn't okay btw--, but you added fuel to the fire with forcefully wiping the party. Instead of communicating with the party you weren't okay with it, you just set yourself up to be reported. Though, I do understand the healer's frustration from a healer perspective. People don't want baby pulls in level 80/expert roulette. It's boring, it's mind-numbing, and just flat out wastes time.

Reminding myself to black list players like you next time I log on my Aether alt. Smh.

I agree with this 100%. I do understand the whole rescuing the tank into another group of mobs is not okay. The guy above should have said that, and if the healer didn't say anything/still continued, could have kicked them. Though...I can understand them wanting big pulls since level 80 dungeons. It's not a leveling dungeon in ARR anymore; People don't want to be forever in a dungeon that can be done in less than 20 minutes. Just sayin'.

Drama like this is why I wish they'd remove Rescue from the game. Most people just use it for griefing. Or at the very least give us the ability to turn off the effects in options. I can't count the number of times I've seen a healer drag off some DPS into the depths of the abyss because "xD so funni guise so random you died haha" or just to be spiteful.
