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

Qued up for Trials as healer. Every auto titan did took the tank to half health. Don't remember titan normal hitting this hard. Tank was wearing full mage gear.

UF. I feel you. It seems an honest mistake though, did you tell them ?

[MitsukiKimura]

UF. I feel you. It seems an honest mistake though, did you tell them ?

Yes I did. They walked out without a word. So that honest mistake falls short. Would honestly love of been a fight with an actual tankbuster so I could watch them drop to the floor and question it.

Sigh. Well at least you tried, I guess. I kinda pity them though, they will have a hard time the day they will have a non-patient healer in a dungeon.

It can't be an honest mistake. I'm not being mean or witch hunting.

When you unlock DRK at level 50 you get the Claymore that this DRK is using and 2 pieces of armour. Just hitting recommended gear should equip it, considering it's higher level than what this person is wearing.



You'd literally have to go out of your way to end up in a situation like this as DRK.

Yeah, uh.. I'm not too sure about that. I played a lot of MMORPG, and some people are just... completly lost about the whole gear thing. You know, the kind of people who are able to equip a thing because it's "pretty", and are disappointed when players tell them it's not enough for their level.

But oc, the troll tank is a possibility as well.

I have heard some horror MMOs stories,
one of them stood out, there was this one guy
who literally refused to use certain abilities,
because he deemed them "ugly".( this was in WoW btw)

It's... okay, it doesn't even make me angry because it's so absurd.

But really, I think we're forgetting perhaps a little too much that the stats "tenacity", "armor value" (etc etc) are part of a language quite specific to MMORPGs. I've already had to explain that armor isn't just a cosmetic, so I know it's not entirely impossible.

Having said that, if in this case he left the dungeon without saying a word, there's a strong possibility that he's a troll or just a guy who's going to become very unpleasant because he doesn't listen to anyone even though he has huge gameplay problems.

That just makes them unreasonable morons. I know someone who ran through dungeons like AV with mogstore glam items equiped, and I still think she's an idiot because surely some part of her mind should have told her, "This looks pretty but likely has no stats."

Of course, Square helps to further it. You can get into any duty under level 50 with any gear. iLvl restrictions don't start occurring until level 50 duties like the MSQ roulette ones. Even when the restrictions do start popping up, people like this tend to have the habit of equipping the right side with the highest ilvl items they can cause it's quick but they end up being undergeared anyways. Road to 80 Buff enables it a bit cause it overlevels people enough that they can do that too. Add all of this together with the idiot mentors on Hali openly teaching people to YPYT and shirk "offenders" and yeah... new tanks are going to be a lot of fun during DT.

Idk may depend, when I heal roulettes I sometimes ask my tank to remove armor so I have something to heal. Maybe they wanted a little challenge. Doing no gear runs can be fun.
