It's about the extremes, not the ‘normal’ runs, but please, when you sign up for a group that ‘farms’: if you have to ask if we all have to stay together behind the same meteors, then you're not ready for the ‘farm’

Someone got mad that I replaced their kicked kitten in the latest raid:

[Akamadoshi]

In NA I joined a P12S reclear.... my first reclear.
Unfortunately, in P2 I started to make repeated mistakes. I felt anxiety coming up and nerves.
This never helps. Encouraging helps to clear it but instead people became impatient. Told me to focus up. I apologized every time.
Even when people wiped, nobody says anything. But I apologized when I made mistakes because it's how I am used to.
They started to make me feel more insecure and anxious, of course it will lead to more wipes!!!! After one more wipe... I said one moment.
At that moment I knew my apologies meant nothing. It was my bad and I had to .... "git gud" whatever they said was.
But I took on the advice "Focus up!" Because that was the problem. See, in P1 I made no mistakes, others did, causing a few wipes.
So by time we got to P2 my focus was lost where focusing and trying to keep up becomes difficult.
I never defended my wipes. If they berated me for wiping, I apologized for it.
But the berating became too much and anxiety built up. I told them "If next time I wipe the PT, please replace me! I will focus up!"
I drink water. Refresh self. They quieted down, fast-pulled again. We went.... we won!! I put everything I could muster to focus and made no mistakes.
Normally after a clear if I wiped a lot, I mentioned I performed too badly and would leave so they can be compensated for the long time.
I do not roll on loot and leave the instance because I feel I don't feel like I deserve the loot. This would've been the case if they had treated me respectfull.
Instead I decided to try my luck because I worked just as hard and they were rude. Incredibly rude.

I won the mount, the weapon and the music. They called me disrespectful and my response was: "Good game!"
The amount of wipes I caused P2 was nothing compared to P1 wipes - I worked hard for it. Regardless of what they felt.

I wish I'd taken a screenshot. I had someone in Sphene EX yesterday who kept removing my phase 2 "AFK" markers in favor of Coronation markers. I pushed back on this, which eventually culminated in them openly admitting that they are unable to find the corner of a square unaided. Spoiler alert: even with Coronation markers, they had absolutely no idea where to go, so they clearly were lying their way into a party much further along than they were.

Got the 87 dungeon for leveling roulette. I'm on DRG. I'm not a good DRG, but I have a vague idea of when to properly backflip out of danger.

The entire dungeon went perfectly fine up until the last boss. The tank said they'd never tanked it before. I told them to yell their name really loudly and pull everything. They did not yell their name really loudly, but they did pull everything and did just fine.

The healer, on the other hand, rescued me out of one of the final boss's aoes right before I backflipped. So I wound up backflipping into the death wall instead of where I wanted to go. I dashed to the boss to get out of the death wall, only to get hit by the aoe and killed. While dead, I said "please don't rescue anyone like that again" in party chat. The RDM ressed me, I got up, the fight kept going. About 30 seconds later, I died to unavoidable damage. The healer was just standing there and died to something shortly thereafter. They said something in party chat like "tired of people dying all run, go ahead and be butthurt about me trying to help you, this is why I don't use rescue". My response was "I tried to backflip to the safespot, look how that turned out", followed by me taking the res from the RDM. The RDM also ressed the healer, but they didn't take it and it timed out.

The RDM ressed the healer a second time, and it timed out a second time.

I was too busy trying to keep my scuffed DRG rotation together to notice how much Vercuring the RDM was or wasn't doing, but I credit him with the fact that we survived that pull. Both for all the resses and for him finishing the boss off with LB2 after I died to unavoidable damage again. Right before the boss died, the healer send a paragraph in party chat complaining about me complaining about his rescue, and telling me to "F off" at the end for daring to notice it amidst all the other "problems" happening.

Like, bro, the very first death we had all dungeon was during the final boss and it wouldn't have happened if you had kept your rescue to yourself. Yes, people were taking vuln stacks earlier (particularly the tank on the second boss), but it wasn't anything run-breaking the way you deliberately letting two resses time out almost resulted in us wiping to a boss we managed to kill without you.

So I commed the tank because the RDM left immediately after the boss died, said "now who's butthurt" in party chat, and left. I legitimately don't understand why my remark upset the healer so much that they decided to stop playing entirely for the rest of the boss fight, but that's for them to figure out. Easy blacklist, post in TfDF, move on with my life on my end.

this is old but it still makes me laugh every time

Just finished O6 and noticed there were...7 hrothgar. Wasn't able to screenshot but that might be a record over here.

Get E6 for my normal raid roulette and it was a circus as expected but what really made me mad was this one tank that had the nerve to complain about not getting an esuna for concussion (You can't esuna it in this fight, they failed the mechanic) when they murdered DPS at least five times with the tank busters throughout the fight by RUNNING AT THEM AS IT CAME OUT. I have half a mind to report them for griefing cause I refuse to believe someone could be that idiotic without trying on purpose.

I was on M4N, look over the party list, and...



This always makes me unreasonably mildly annoyed to be at the top of the DPS enmity list, I have the lowest personal damage in the game, I make one of you deal 10% more damage just by existing, what's the excuse!
