DF Ragequitters getting out of hand

[DenzelTaru]

I didnt realise the green glowing stuff was damge dealing AOE, I was looking for the red AOE marker :/
Now I know the next run on Sunday will go much better!

the game has one main rule... if it glows gtfo.. :P

I had someone ragequit out of Cutter's Cry the other day with 3 minutes left. Mediocre healer, couldn't figure out how to not get killed by every boss AoE (died 3 times consecutively to Dragon's Voice -- c'mon, man!). Too bad, really, because I won anyway with about 24 seconds remaining on the clock. Good thing that boss has no offense whatsoever. Would've been a bit of poetic justice had the chest dropped healer gear, but alas, it was DPS gear.

In my defence I'd just finished 7 nights shifts in a row earlier that day, hadnt slept much that day (or week to be honest) so I wasnt exactly at my best.
But I'll remember that glowing = death

Also nice to know Tanks are still rare, makes me think I can watch the cut scenes without much worry of people rage-ing at me lol, almost like holding a group hostage (mwwwhahaha)

My personal favorite is the tanks that pull 3+ packs of critters, die, lose agro, healer gets killed followed by everyone else and then quit.

Earlier this week I ran WP with two other members of my FC. We all have Relic+1 and full DL and at least two of us had speed-run it before (the third probably had, I just hadn't done it with them). We didn't have a tank, so DF'd that. The one we got was also well-geared, and (without confirming what we were doing) started to try to speed-run it. They rushed around the corner, trying to avoid pulling the first two tonberries, which inevitably aggro'd on the healer so we wiped during the first pull. And the tank was immediately gone.

We did quite quickly get a replacement who was fine, but I don't know what that tank expected - we were an experienced and well-geared group and we only wiped because the tank was trying to save a few seconds without having communicated anything. We'd probably have been finishing by the time their 15-minute penalty had been up if they hadn't had such a zero-tolerance attitude (to their own faults..!).

I remember my first DF Garuda battle...ah, well, it wasn't actually a battle. Cause similarly like you mentioned, someone left after I said 'Hey, I'm new, but I've watched several videos. Feel free to give me tips.' I had over 5100+ HP, so it wasn't gear.

Had to lie to a shout group about experience just to off-tank and learn the patterns. I almost understand leaving after an initial wipe, we've all got prerogatives, but before we even try? Sad.

Wow tc, I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say... You failed 12 times?

If you want a perfect party go to revenant's toll and form one yourself. Stop wasting our time.

I have seen this a lot, and all it will take is 1 little bit of advice to the tank, or positioning and we would win, but nope one fail someone ragequits.

Well you could do with out of the box tank SMN can tank WP with Titan providing you have 3 other members who works with you. Basically you will need a sleeper. Mobs will go at SMN when you pull, so sleeping the 2 adds works well. Your healer should stoneskin + regen titan and toss cure 1 here and there. It may take a few adjustment to your play style but it is totally doable to do it without the traditional tank. Blm + Drg, Mnk + Sch + Smn can works well with this odd set up. Whm + Drg, Mnk, Brd + Smn can also works quite well. It's not your typical set up but it's one of the most fun you'll ever have

Maybe try /shout Lfg Garuda HM?

Why would you ever use the duty finder for anything past AK or Ifrit?

In Rev's Toll there are always multiple ppl shouting for Garuda and just about everything else. Answer a LFM shout or grab any other ppl that are LFG. Not that hard. The time it takes to grab ppl on your own server is usually faster than the DF. And on the plus side when you are in a group of ppl from your own server they tend to at least act a little more mature.
