A tank taking six centuries to solo a boss, just to end up dying.. Instead of resetting to begin with.

Thread necromancers.
Are you serious now? Why should I make a new thread every single time I want to post something that pertains to a previous thread. Ridiculous. For that matter, I'm pretty sure the last couple times I posted in this thread, I got the exact same post in response. Very funny. I'm laughing right now.

Nah, clearly we need fourteen or more of the same exact thread.
People who come on other games forums and brag how awesome their game is, then they get mad when i try their game and call it "meh" or "bad".
What things annoy me? people unable to use a single thread for the same topic discussion lol (no not this one but the elephant in the room)
Having the other tank wait to turn on tank stance until you turn on tank stance, so you turn off yours so they can main tank. They don't do a good job, and then when you decide you'll just main tank after all and start pulling, you get rescued away from enemies. What isn't annoying is being able to leave without a penalty.![]()

A few things. Two for each role.
Tanks: Hold the mobs/boss still. People have positionals in this game and need free movement around the thing they're fighting. You don't need to dance with it. When you dodge an attack, move back to where you were. Don't let the boss turn to face you after you've moved. And please pull the boss fully out of the fire so we can get behind it without standing in the fire ourselves.
Off-Tanks: Don't taunt the boss unless you need to. This goes back to the first point. By constantly taunting, you turn the boss to face yourself rather than the other tank. It can screw up positionals for people. You don't need to be the big man that has aggro all of the time. Turn your tank stance off for a few seconds every now and again to let your main tank keep a higher threat on the target. Check your ego at the door. It makes for a better run.
Healers: If you're going to raise someone, have a heal ready for them. I know it takes a second for the animation to complete and the character to actually stand up, but look back at them after a second or two and remember to top them up. Otherwise they're just going to die again to the first unavoidable damage they take. I know it can be easy to get tunnel vision while spamming glare, but keeping your team at a safe amount of health should be top priority.
Off-Healers: Don't be afraid to use your cooldowns. Don't be afraid to use your mana. If your other healer is busy with a mechanic or healing someone else and someone is dying, don't be afraid to stop and hard cast or use a cooldown. You have them for a reason. Blow through them. Keep your party alive.
DPS: Please play the mechanics. I find more often than not that it's the dps that don't stand on the rune to turn it off, or help with stack markers ect. I've also found that more often than not it's the dps that will stand in a telegraphed mechanic because they don't want to lose dps. They don't want to stop. I know a lot of people use third party dps trackers. I know they can see where they are in damage amongst the group and they want to be on top. Please don't stand in damaging mechanics because you know that your healer will heal you after. It's not their job to babysit you. The only ones that get a pass are Black Mages because they can't move and dps like a Samurai, and don't offer anything else aside from damage. As with the tanks, keep your ego out of it. It'll make for a better run for everyone.
Summoners/Red Mages: If your healer(s) die; raise them. You have the spell, use it. Save swift cast for an unfortunate use of raise. If your healers and tanks are going down and it means the difference between a wipe and taking the boss out, start hard casting. Please help the group out. Raise your healers first, then any tanks that fell and then any Summoners and Red Mages in the group, then the rest of your dps. Don't be afraid to raise the other alliances as well.
Basics 101.

- UWUS/ Furry/ Buns/ Weebs/ Cat worshipping obsessed people. Seriously nothing makes me further cringe encountering everything these type of people. I get it!!! You’re a fanatic & wants to be publicly known about it! Just don’t over emphasize it
- Almost everyone gets “offended” by anything. Being on duties, or interacting with the general public its like walking on egg shells in the hopes you don’t intentionally say anything that would otherwise be considered offensive & threaten with report; why can’t you just walk away? Blacklist is there for a reason
- ShB capped weekly tomes & now accessible & obsolete; I do blame myself though for burning out
