Life after 50- being an ass?

[Akuha]

Last night I was in a Haukke Manor DF party with a MNK decked out in relic gear, obviously level 50. At each and every possible turn he made an open effort to be as annoying as possible, and all but sabotaged the boss fight at the end by constantly running in saying 'we'll be fine lol' before we could even discuss how to fight her (we had a couple new people). After the 4th wipe the tank and I left, as he was blaming everyone else for the wipes, responding with 'u mad?' when confronted about it. Is this the kind of people waiting for me at endgame?

Ofc such ppl won´t wait for you at 50. It´s not their attitude to wait for anyone.

Every comunity real life or not does have honest People, happy People, dumbasses, flamers, hardworking ppl, leechers and much more. Why should that be different here?

Make some good choices in BL, FL and FC and you can have the comunity you want. No Utopia available.

No from what I have heard there is a few bad apples but mostly ok

And if square were to add the experience penalty for dying from FFXI to this game, those bad apples, as well as bad players, would go away.

If I had to guess, it's a guy who's trial period is nearly up and intends to quit. If he was in the AF starter gear, then he probably recently hit 50 and realized he didn't care about end-game progression. I'm only 38 though, so that's just my speculation. He could have been trying to run a buddy through, but the story doesn't support that idea. Short answer, I'm sure there are fools out there and you will encounter them, but I wouldn't expect this type of behavior to represent the greater population.

No you're right, toward the end I believe the healer said the monk was a friend of his, but he didn't show any sign of trying to help anyone.

On the subject of unnecessarily detrimental party members, I've been hearing about a vote-kick feature coming, is that still in the works or do we already have that?

Still in the works.

Last night I was running Brayflox (boot attempt #20+) with me as tank and my brother as drg. Now we are both significantly overleveled and well geared for the run. As an inside joke, he constantly tried to pull hate on minor bosses. As a counter-joke I deliberately let the coerl boss take him. Now, when the healer kept trying to keep him up, I had to apologize for not filling him in on the gag. Now, we were sailing through this run and everyone was in high spirits. With that in mind I figured a little light humor was appropriate. The healer (once told) laughed as well. There's an example of how detrimental behavior can be intentional but for a good reason. It was on a bonus boss and an easy one. In retrospect, I should have let the healer know before so he didn't panic lol, but frankly, I was hoping my brother would KO. I hope no one was there and thinks Im an ass.

I personally think this is awesome, but in would have let everyone else in on the gag too, my lil bro and I do much of the same kind of thing
