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

Soooo I'm on the one time ShB relic step that wants you to either grind Zandor zones or older raids. Unfortunately I got 30+ of one crystal and 5 of the either so I've got my DF set to 5 different Eden raids plus I'm healing and just hoping for the best.

And it's been awful. I've dragged 4 parties from near wipes repeatedly. Last Eden's Eternity had to pop LB3 plus my co-healer decided to let my res expire twice while the rest of the party is eating mechs and I'm playing res roulette with the DPS. Got one commend after too which I know people always say commends don't mean anything, but to me it's always been an easy way to say thanks and let someone know that you noticed or whatever.

Reminds me of that one time I was in E9 on RDM doing that step myself a while back. People were dying, especially the healers, I raise people because I'm a nice person. This is a constant over the course of the fight. Suddenly it was just me, the two tanks, and everyone else dead because 'loooool what are mechanics?'. People were screaming for healer lb3.

I scrape one of the healers off the ground, they lb3. Entire party cheers on for the save when it was only possible if one of them was actually up. Another was telling everyone else to comm the healers for carrying the run, despite both of them being down when they were calling for healer lb3.

Bruh, you could've only healer lb3'ed if one of you was actually up. I had to inform the rest of them that I had to raise a healer for them to even get the lb3 off, and the realization for the rest of the party set in. A lot of 'oh...' 'Wait really?' filled the chat.

Since then I've kinda withheld on going on duty finder content as RDM.

Yeah, I've seen that happen. I'm surprised though because I've seen RDM just eat the dirt the entire time while somehow getting credited for all the raises.

I'm going to be toxic and say it. If people are bad enough that you have to carry their corpses through a duty, then sadly they probably aren't even aware of who is carrying them nor do they care.

For the most part, I'm fine with that because I'm getting rewarded via whatever the duty rewards or whatever the quest I have rewards me for doing said duty, but there's some duties where it just feels really bad and you need some appreciation. I don't want someone to grovel, I just want to know that someone cared about all the trouble I went through. That's pretty much it.

Anyways, the good news is that I finished 26 runs of various Eden raids(yes my crystals were that spread out), and now I just have to hope zandor zones 1 and 2 are kinder to me.
