    That's certainly a quick way to get kicked/reported, as you're now choosing not to do your Job and potentially causing a wipe on trash (for no good reason). Being exceedingly antisocial is no excuse to being toxic and choosing to make the dungeon last longer than it needs to. Just use your AoE rotation and then ask the DPS/Healer to not pull for you if it bothers you so much... just know that if they're pulling for you, they are expecting you to go at their (the party overall) pace.

    Also if you're a healer and the tank is sprinting, then you should be using Sprint as well (everyone should. It's there for a reason). Dawdling and potentially letting the tank KO because you decided to take your time is also pretty toxic.

    Tanks that don't stand still and jump around in circles.
    I also include tanks that make no effort to position the boss, like not even turning and angling the boss so I can hit my positionals but just staying in the worst position imaginable so I have to choose between getting hit by aoe or hit my positionals.
    Please have some awareness if you're going to tank about this.

    Dps that are extremely impatient and run ahead and pull.

    Tanks that are extremely slow for no real valid reason.

    Boosters that clearly haven't even read what their abilities do, it's very obvious when you have no idea what you're doing at all on a very base level.
    Please look up a guide or at least read your abilities.

    Edit: Also, people afk:ing without saying a single word.
    If you're going to afk can you at least tell people that you're going to afk?
    ESPECIALLY if you're a tank or healer...

    I feel like this one has stood the test of time, in all my years healing and tanking, it alwas happens. You get some gung-ho archer or lancer, run ahead and boom, dead, because they thought the team would follow them.

    I would second this one. It does not bug me to much in FF14 yet because I am still new and don’t know my way around to well yet. So sometimes I rely on those that run ahead a little to let me know the right path. Even though I have hardly had anyone run ahead and pull before I get there.

    This sort of thing was so bad in WoW though, people are so fanged impatient there and it used to drive me absolutely nuts when they did it.

    Mine is the inverse of this. Tank pulls mobs, AST immediately puts down a star... we're not even at the wall/next group yet, then gets mad that I'm not in the star... smh. And I've seen fully geared, experienced ASTs do it.

    It also bothers me with every other field AOE that people complain about. Did you Doton too soon? Sad for you. Star too soon? Not my problem. Garuda puddle on the first pack while we're still in motion? Get bent. There is no need to be antsy with field AOEs. No pulls are going to die so fast that you won't get the majority of their damage out and get your gains.

    There are some cases where people have buffs that are about to run out and they need to hit mobs to keep them up.

    Altho quite frankly I think that in most cases that's not what's happening and in reality they're just being extremely impatient.
    It used to be worse, nowadays the devs have gotten rid of a lot of those buffs or made them easier to keep up even without hitting mobs.

    Actually I can't think of any that really needs it anymore?
    But I still see people making that excuse.
    DRG can refresh before time runs out and I think it extends it, MNK no longer has GL, NIN can just re-huiton and hide to refresh Mudras, BLM has their refresh etc...
    Maybe I am wrong and there's some Job I am not remembering where it's still a thing.

    Edit: Oh, SAM I guess...
    Kinda not a big deal at all worth pressuring the tank because of tho.

    When the mobs engage they aggro to you.
    It's not rly normally a problem but I guess in certain dungeons if the mobs are more spread out it can be if you can't catch them in a single aoe ability.
