What things annoy you?

[Makeda]

Watching an old Zepla HQ video on youtube I've got inspired to ask you guys what things players do inside game that annoy you sometimes?

Answering the question, I would go for:

- when I'm a monk and the tanker goes around the mob like he have some fire in his boots that prevents him to stay still in one place. That disrupts my positionals all the time.

You don't have to even be a toon with melee positionals for that to be annoying... Oh hey, thanks for that free tank cleave BTW, can I get a rez? Oh wait, I was the healer... right...

That noted... I was this tank just the other day on some trash pulls because I couldn't get them lined up in front of me and I kept having to move around for more of them coming and I was sitting there watching our monk have a heck of a time with it...

When tanking:
- I hate when there's that one add that sits at my 190-210 degree position and then moves partly into my toon when I'm tanking... no matter how I try to position...
- I hate that there's that one add that even though it's in front of me, seems to always walk into my toon forcing me to backup so I can hit it because the game randomly decides it's on my front or back even though I have under 50-ping and no latency...

When DPSing:
- See the monk poster above. Like... move when you gotta move, but buddy stay put otherwise.

When Healing:
- So like... I'm back here because I was doing something or something happened, and you're way up there, out of my range, pulling 10 more adds. And that's fine if you got mitigation buttons, but I see you forgot to keybind ANY of them. So yeah...
- Hey tank, we aren't playing hide and seek. Yeah, I am playing seek, but I'd rather be casting.
- Hey other healer, it's great that you know how to DPS, but is that the ONLY thing you put on your keybinds?

When on anything
- Hey tank, you are allowed to have aggro on more than one enemy at a time. In fact if you pull 101 of them, it's kinda preferred that you get threat on them as well. Every tank job gets an AoE skill before the level of the first dungeon so... use it.
- Hey you, if you have that icon over you head that says a bad thing is going to drop where you're standing - that is NOT the time to stack on the healer. And if I run out of it, don't chase me down...
- Hey you with the stack marker over your head, why are you running away from all of us?
- Can somebody rez that guy over there? Like we have 2 healers and 4 red mages... so... what exactly is going on here?
- Oh great, my Duty Finder queue that I've been waiting 372 minutes for just popped with a 30 second timer to accept, and this cutscene that reveals EVERYTHING has 31 seconds to go...

Scholars as raid co-healers...
I know there are probably great SCH out there, but for some reason I'm always stuck with leechers.
All they do is cast Broil, while they leave me to do about 90-95% of the heals. How do I know? If I don't heal, someone in the group dies to a raid wide or tankbuster.
They never stop casting Broil. And before you say, they're good, well I'd rather bring a co-healer that has some AoE heal that can be weaved every now and then,

That's some bad luck, because SCH has a ton of AoE heals and shields - both instant and hardcast.

I still can't find a reason to bring a SCH over WHM or SGE.

I was with you until this because I've seen what you're noting from pretty much all of the healer jobs. Don't blame the class, blame the luck of your roulette getting you bad players.

I predict that by mid-expansion, the popular class to get blamed for this will be sage - because they have just a tiny bit more DPS rotation than the others, and the tooltips make less experienced players think it's a "copy of the WoW discipline priest". It might be Scholar getting the blame now, but in time people will assume it's the sage getting "too in the zone"...

Though Sage also has an insanely good instant cast healing toolset. Which I have already seen some players totally ignore...

A little gripe I've had while playing through Endwalker's main scenario, is companion chocobos crowded ontop of quest npcs which makes targeting the npc very difficult to almost impossible - how hard is it to dismiss your chocobo when you don't need it (like when inside a town or hamlet on a quest?). Gyshal greens are hardly expensive so that's not even an excuse for keeping them out. It should be common courtesy to dismiss the chocobo when speaking to quest npcs so this does not happen.

But it's a minor thing so I don't know, maybe I'm just getting less and less tolerant of minor nitpicks like that.

Tried doing extremes again. Went pretty well all things considered, but the typical party finder stuff happened, of course. Pretty good prog group, we were mostly getting it down for our first few tries, then the healer just up and leaves, and then that prompts everybody else to leave too. Back to square one. If I am going to actually do any extreme+ content again, I am going to have to find an actual group or something, because this is just going to end up burning me out on them again.

The sheer amount of pointless cutscenes this game has. It gets soporific sometimes.

[hynaku]

The super long queue times when only get 2 to 3 hours a day to play.

[Warpstone]

People pulling for me while I'm tanking. and then get mad because I let them die. and then continue pulling for me.

[Endariel]

People pulling for me while I'm tanking. and then get mad because I let them die. and then continue pulling for me.

Ah I see, intentional griefing

[KizuyaKatogami]

Players who have the inability to handle criticism for themselves and the game.

Sages that don't cast Kardia at all (yup...) and only use Eukrasia on Dosis and nothing else.

Like, ok I get it, Sage is the new Glare Mage and no one wants to actually cast a heal, but at LEAST toss out Kardia to help someone not die a horrible screaming death of chronic sword-to-the-spleenitis? (also, you'd actually do MORE DPS if you toss out some shields, because Toxicon's a thing...)
