Required to read Guides?

[Jeeqbit]

Actually, let me prove it's a textbook case. You can find a similar example provided by SE at https://support.na.square-enix.com/f...la=1&kid=68216
This is a list of the sort of comments SE would not approve of.

• "If you can't do the mechanic well, maybe you shouldn't bother joining the party."
• "If you're going to talk like that, why don't you just quit?"
• "If you don't understand that, you'd be wise to leave the party."
• "Let's ignore them."
• "Let’s leave [person] out."
• "It's not worth wasting our time, you should quit."
• "Don't join if your equipment is that bad/such a low item level."

Thanks for all your opinions on this. Thankfully i recorded the fight and was able to analyse what went wrong.

First of all, to clarify some things: It was Haukke manor, Boss Manor Claviger. It was not a single mechanic that killed me... the healer went afk before the fight and i didnt notice, so i started the fight. On top of that i got hit by his big aoe which i thought i had interrupted, but that wasnt the case. 2 things i learned in that fight:

1) Wait for afk players
2) Move out of big aoe attacks

I know my death was absolutely my fault, that was not the point of ths thread. Its just about that other player telling me to read guides... i dont want to read guides, especially for story content. However I will read them for harder endgame content though, just to not be a burden for others.

Been a minute since I tanked that one, but if it's a big glowing red bar for the cast, then you'll interrupt instead of stun. Interrupt is Interject and stun is Low Blow. Low Blow will work on most normal non-red cast bars.

Don't read guides for story content. The only reason it's a thing for Extremes and Savage and stuff is that those fights are harder versions of the originals so you already have seen the mechanics in the original. But you'll still find completely blind PFs because people like to figure things out. You're a ways off from having to worry about that, so just enjoy the MSQ for now.

this post is incredibly suspicious because this sounds like what GM janitors would daydream about, and if what you say is true the person in question just committed account suicide

You've never seen pointless raging from unhinged people in XIV? lol

You'd be surprised what people are stupid enough to put into party or alliance chat.

if they are veteran players they would never do that because this would be immediate permaban
this whole scenario seems made up, I would like to see some chat logs (which I suspect the OP conveniently forgot to screencap) about the so called insults he threw before he left the duty

Oh they definitely would. They don't care when they have their rage on.

You are only expected to look up information about content that is EX or above in difficulty, and only if it has been out for a week or two.

Anything else you should feel free to do blind.

Trust me, friend, they exist.

I remember a run of WoD when someone told a sprout tank to "Stop being an idiot and face the boss away" during the big eyeball boss. So yeah, it happens.

I’m surprised a new player only at level 31 somehow found his way to the forums to rant more than anything
