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

I offended a tank in tam tara normal by going ahead as a MCH. Sprout healer was even onboard. Before we even got to the first... boss? if it can even be called that, they then ate a 30 minute penalty and I guess the arcanist left after the tank did.

Got replacements easily but hoo boy people need to touch grass. Almost demonstrated how painfully easy it is to do an early dungeon with an aoe-capable dps and a conjurer. Their loss since I got out of the duty not even 1/3 into their penalty. Remember boys and girls (and robots) that by refusing to tank you're technically griefing the party even if your presence is optional! I've opened that can of worms, not sorry.

Well its finally happened after all these years. I've finally been yelled at for using Holy as a WHM. Never thought I'd see the day. The tank goes as far as refusing to turn down effects from other players to help solve the problem. Go figure. This was in a run of Sohm Al (Hard).

It made dealing with the slimes at the last part a pain from having to spam Repose instead of just popping Holy every now and then. Dungeon also went noticeably slower than usual because of the lack of all that extra DPS from Holy and the extra healing necessary (tank was practically being eaten alive on several of the bigger pulls).

Healer AoE DPS definitely makes a difference as much as these two might think otherwise. I've tanked dungeons plenty of times with low or no-dps healers before and its always quite a bit slower than with ones who do go all out.

If one person casting holy is enough to hurt that tanks eyes, how the hell did he get through CT?

No clue. The fact they refused to consider turning the effects off is what really had me scratching my head if its such a problem. I wonder what they do if any of the more flashbang-y DPS classes end up in their party.

O.o What do they do when a SMN joins the group??

Tank: SMN stop summoning I can't see
Smn: what
.....: what

I would say you keep doing you and don't worry about this "new generation" (lmao, what)

Healer drops a "literally", tank says "I like all effects but not all effects", and VPR apologizes for capitalizing an acronym. Good show.

Guess that tank hasn't seen a Red Mages LB3 yet...

So this isn't a tale from Duty Finder, but instead, a tale from Party Finder. I had joined a farm party for EX1 Friday night, and said right off the bat, I'm rusty on the fight, please be patient, because I haven't touched the fight since 7.0. PL said that was fine. We filled, we went in, and though we wiped a couple times, mostly because again, I was rusty, so I took the blame for the wipes, on the third pull, we cleared, and the mount drops, everyone rolls.

I win with a 74, then I said I'll stay for a few more runs, because I didn't want to loot and scoot. We went back in again, mount didn't drop. Then when we get out, this happened.



Apparently offering to stay for a few more runs after winning a mount isn't courtesy, but charity.

Were those 3 from Excalibur all friends or something? lol Wouldn't be surprised if they were losing their minds in private chat or something then one of them decided to pipe up with...whatever this is. lol
