Biggest pet peeves when it comes to dungeon runs?

DPS pulling.

The tank and healer are the only ones who actually have to manage big pulls, so it's 100% their call. Dismissive as this may sound, DPS don't get a vote.

People who give others a hard time for not using abilities they don't actually have at that level. No, I can't use Verraise when you get yourself killed fighting Nidhogg, try stacking up like you're supposed to.

Also, people who get mad about not getting raised when they fell off the edge on Titan, Ravana, Bismark, or Sephirot. Your corpse is down there. Nothing I can do about it. (Also, see above.)

Tanks not immediately sprinting to the mobs and not pulling wall to wall. Tanks that mad when they get rescued into more mobs, as it's the nicest way of telling them to pull more.

I would say the nicest way to ask about pulling more is to use the handy feature known as the chat to actually ask the person directly.

Preventing defeat as a RDM due to reviving a tank and/or healer only to walk away with zero commendations as a result.

Not that I necessarily need any, since I already have all the achievement rewards linked to commendations but they're a nice way of displaying gratitude.

So many times this.

This is going to be strange but its being in a full team of Lalas. I don't hate them but just being in a full group of them gives me super puppet master vibes.

Both the weirdest and most amusing time I've had....just a bunch of Lalas....then I realized quickly they're all grown men in their 30's..everyone has a "thing" I guess.

Because many people are on console and don't have a keyboard to respond in a timely fashion, so it's easier to literally drag them along to signal them to pull more.

Pretty much how I work as a tank and healer. I follow the big guy or as the big guy/girl, I expect the healer to follow me.

Yeah, no. That's not a good tactic at all, You risk pulling mobs unexpectedly to the tank or even worse, having said mob attack the healer. How about creating a macro before you dungeon dive? I've played DPS since, well since FF11...what you're not gonna do is pull more mobs to an unsuspecting tank, that's bad tactic all around.

I am doing that as a healer, and a decently experienced at that, a mob or two hitting me while moving them to the tank isn't a big deal. I also find it's a pretty good way to build confidence in tanks by pushing them to go beyond their comfort zone and to better prepare them for endgame norms.

I'm cool with it, if you can survive, ala a Paladin-healer pulling mobs to a tank in MMO's like WoW. But communicate first. There are plenty of dungeons (low level) that will prepare a tank for multiple mobs/incoming, I don't need or want my squishies pulling another 3-5 mobs when I'm already dealing with a big group. I see what you're saying, but I can't agree, breeds bad tactic. Also in raids this kind of behavior gets you kicked.
