Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

[Absimiliard]

Queued for EX roulette, got Lapis Manalis. Loaded into a group with what I would quickly realize was a low tier FFXIV YouTube personality and frequent lore forum poster. The first thing they say to me is that I will be kicked if I take any amount of avoidable damage at all. Normally I'd just leave after reading something that dumb at the start of a dungeon, but I was in a hurry and just wanted it done. So we get to the first boss. What happens? Everybody but me eats a bunch of mechanics and bites it.

I ask if they'd rather I die on purpose, as it will probably take longer if I solo the boss. They say to go ahead and try to kill it, because "Lapis Manalis bosses can't be soloed" and "WAR players are all bad at the game anyway." Easy solo clap, to the surprise of no one with a any amount of neural activity. I get kicked almost immediately afterward, which also shouldn't surprise anyone.

Not exactly worth the amount of wasted time, but it was still pretty funny.

You should report that entitled YTer.

The hell, lmao! I'd have been properly incensed if I was in your position. Sorry for that experience.
