How many times have you ran cutters cry? How many times have your groups not skipped it?

Ive ran it hundreds of times and can count on half a hand the number of groups where theyve fought the mobs in there.

Id say its pretty safe to assume most players who arent newbies know its skipped, and if a group wants to fight them, they should raise it. Not sure why anyone would want to, but still.

I don't think it really matters how many times you have run it. You don't know how many times someone else has. You yourself suggested the RPR didn't know the content well. Just communicate to the party, so everyone is on the same page.

Hundreds of times lol. I think you might need to step back and realize that not everyone has run dungeons hundreds of times in TOTAL, let alone a SINGLE dungeon hundreds of times.

The Cutter's Cry thing happened once on my end too. Think there was a post in here about it.

Healer (used loosely) in Cutter's Cry. We're marching through the room after the first boss toward the shifting sands and I notice too late that the group stayed behind to fight the optional enemies. After pointing out that the sands can be taken, one DPS defensively mentions people not being aware of that (without specifying who). While this claim is acceptable, it was somewhat inhibited by three factors: the group continued to ignore the sands and whittle away (with a SMN there to help raise), there were no first-timers, and everyone pretty much aced the eye mechanics in the last fight, which is pretty rare.

Edit: same role and duty the next day, only now a DPS goes on ahead to trigger the second boss so everyone can warp in.

No idea how often it happens

Imagine you get ARR Shiva (non extreme) trial at half past midnight where there is one newbie and threre is the MT tank that decided to be a scumbag by constantly cleaving the entire party and saying that we should stack during the sword form

Gotta give it to the mentor healer for still healing the troll tank instead of letting him die.

Maybe he got it mixed up with the EX version? Unless everyone died and he kept doing it.

Got a cohealer who literally just stand there in a normal roulette. It was living liquid lol. Just afked. Why are there suddenly an increase of afk players? Just the other day, there were two or three people who afk in Aglaia.

Had this exact thing happen to me once. Man swore we needed to gather up together to take it as a group and kept killing us.

Nothing much, but I did a Dzemael run yesterday and everything went perfectly. First boss killed without need to change location (first time it happens), second zone, usually difficult, not a problem, we did it! And again and again and again. Usually this dungeon is terrible to be done, but this time, nothing to say, tank and healer did a really great job!

I really miss those days when that was the normal way of tanking him. But honestly its only a problem now if the healers are half asleep.

Well, I don't remember if our healers were asleep, I know I was kind of down for the count after it happened, along with half the party. I dunno what transpired in the span of those 5 seconds, but it was wacky. We didn't wipe, but it was by the skin of our teeth.
