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

"People screaming at me to raise? Better hit Ruin."

If people are screaming at you to raise because they couldn't do mechanics properly on Forgall, it probably would've been better to wipe and explain the mechanics. If you got votekicked, considering they couldn't do those mechanics, you probably would've dodged a 50 minute bullet.

Wasn't the case at all, not entirely sure why you came into this thread with the slander. I was raising as much as I could. My MP was literally gone from it. I raised both our parties healers + our tank because the first healer I raised was busy raising other party's healers.

I wasn't vote kicked, but someone started it yes. People were fine for the rest of the raid mostly after that.

When stuff like this happens I always try to remember, that I have not the slightest knowledge about who is sitting in front the keyboard and in which situation this person is right now. Could be someone who lets his kid or partner play for the first time. Could be a 10y/o, or someone who suffers from a sever Illness and is under heavy medication at the moment, or a bunch of cats in a trench coat, or whatever. As long as someone is not obviously malicious towards me or others I just Shake Off (pun intended) these kinds of situations.

It was a joke, not sure why you read some of my reply as slander, even though you said people were yelling at you to raise and attempted votekick on you. Though my point still stands that it's quicker to just wipe and explain mechanics, and if you get votekicked in the process because people are stupid/unable to do mechanics from an old raid, then you would've dodged a 50 minute bullet. Spending 50+ minutes in a raid means something is going wrong somewhere.

Ozma can become an utter shitshow, and so can Calofisteri, if people are constantly dying to stupid. Not your fault if you're having to scrape people off the floor for their inability to do mechanics.

Got Dusk Vigil for lvling roul, healer was a sch that used adlo all of twice-after the mobs were dead -.-. The sam who apparently was just looking at my health get down to double digits and not looking at my buffs goes "don't forget rampart" /rage

I have a rather odd story...last week I ended up in the heroes gauntlet and the party didn't quite understand the mechanics for the last boss, mainly staying under the rock piles. Tanks runs over to me and kills us both. No big deal. I joked and said he owes me chicken nuggets....last night I was kind of afk sitting on a bench in ul'dah and someone placed a chicken nuggie in my hand...if that was you tank, thank you it was delicious

Had two people in Praetorium arguing over whether Nero loves or hates Cid. I asked why not both. The fourth person, who until then had said nothing the entire run, piped up that that idea just awoke something in them. We had to delay starting the fight because the first two both had to stop laughing first.

Three stories from today after an otherwise uneventful one or two weeks of roulettes.

Bruh why do I keep getting SGEs in level 90 roulettes that don't do damage and just spam e. diagnosis? It's happened twice now, completely different people. I don't play anything but WAR in roulettes, so it's not like a danger or anything, but it is annoying that I'm having to heal up the whole team with Nascet with any aoe damage comes out because they're going to slow heal the entire team with e. diagnosis one person at a time while not doing any damage.

First story is something similar to yours. Zoned in as a WAR, I met my Toxikon Mage in Stigma Dreamscape. E.Diagnosis uptime for *everyone* the entire run. How do they DPS? They errr... burn Toxikon II then spam Dosis III until the barrier on me breaks.... both trash pull and boss fight. I stopped using mits altogether to abuse Bloodwhetting and this Toxikon Mage just go panik.jpg with their Diagnosis button. The rest of the party weren't even doing any better the run lasts as long as any bad trust NPC runs.

Anyway... moving on...

Second story is from 5678 roulette: Fractaal Continuum. Listen, if y'all think "STD Ninjas" are bad, I've encountered another specimen that does even lower in this run: "STD & Caster Ninja". How do they DPS? Drop Doton on anything and everything then move out of melee reach and wait. Literally.

Third, zoned in as a SCH into E9N. A lot were happening but let's just say... this run lasts for 10+ minutes. Only 1 first timer who died twice and this first timer was the best performer in the party....

Yesterday i ran a dungeon after not doing any instance for the last 3 months or so. One writes "a level 50 duty with 3 level 90 chars. Classic." What do they want? Waiting in que for 30+ mins for a level 50 duty? Do they want the curebots? Thanks for reminding me why i barely play. Lack of rewards and community. At least i am rethinking if i should actually play this mog event. Wasting hours with passive aggressive randos for stuff that rots in different inventories.

Encountered a PLD yesterday in Copied Factory who opened with "hey can I MT, I've had a bad day and want to hit the bosses". They proceeded to lose aggro repeatedly in every fight and used Provoke off cooldown. I don't think they were doing anything outside of their 1-2-3 combo. No idea what their deal was.

Had a full crown mentor nin get upset at me for using Rescue on him to get him quickly out of an aoe in Thaleia earlier today and was told by him to let him stand in aoes since 'they knew what they were doing'. I'm sorry for using Rescue correctly on you, mentor nin, so I don't have to waste my resources on healing AvOiDaBlE dAmAgE that you decided to take.

Or those vuln stacks you ate.
Or that near death you had.
Or that floor bleed you decided looked delicious.
