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

[Dreamsoap]

Encountering tanks that are pulling the new dungeon one pack at a time. Pls, mobs don't have mechanics. Do what you were doing before in expert, we're all lvl 90 and have the kits to handle this.

Apparently people still believe in the cheese.

Oh it doesn't work anymore?

Was a long-standing complaint that, if you queued up with a certain ilvl, no matter your base level, you can force the alliance roulette into always giving you the ct raids. If I remember correctly, SE ninja-patched this some time in 5.3/5.5 where it takes into account your max level and gear anywhere in your inventory. I remember because I once queued for Breach to get my weekly coin, and some people loaded in completely naked followed by sudden holes in their hp before abandoning the instance.

Supposedly people have found a way around this, I don't know how exactly, but some people still strip before queuing to cheese the roulette.

Tale #1
- Be dragoon
- Have full 640 melded (not pentamelded) gear
- Struggle to outaggro dancer with non-melded 625 gear
- With dancer buff

Tale #2
I met a melee red mage. Only thing they were casting is vercure. And used acceleration. Outside of it - melee weaponskills and ogcd damage abilities

Did I mention that both of these tales are from Expert roulette? Now I did.

I had the weirdest cohealer today while running P12. They were quite literally spamming Glare even when people were dead for a while now, so I had to pick up all the dead people up on my own and heal them up. I think I've seen them use Liturgy of the Bell once, and used swift raise on me when I finally died from getting hit multiple times by adds mechanic and can't heal/ress the party. If I didn't know better, I'd think they were trying to parse on normal mode and neglect their primary role on healing when people are floor tanking altogether. I think one of the tanks noticed the odd behavior too, cause they gave me a pat at the end of the duty lol.

Alliance B thought they were being cool to slow-walk the entire alliance including when fighting the boss, I pray these people were 15 years old or less

Had a melee only Red Mage in Castrum[MSQ], that was fun.

Why do I keep getting CT raids on my healer main but Orbonne/Dun Scaith while leveling dps job on my alt via AR roulette for the past week? And of course the ones on my alt's dps always land in a disastrous run that I could've otherwise salvage better if it was on my main's healer... ;_;

RNGesus, why.

Ah yes, the 'woah bro, why are you so upset? ' attitude. Super frustrating.
