As others have said, it started for me at lvl50 and endgame. I've dialled it back a bit and I'm playing much more casually and enjoying it :-)

I can't remember the dungeons name, but it was the one with the flying eyeball that patrols the caves and AOEs all over the place. I warned the group it was my first time tanking it, and the first thing out of someone's mouth was "lol no AF gear"... The mood is set, and it just continued getting worse throughout the dungeon, even though we were still doing half decently. I finally couldn't take it anymore and left 75% of the way through the end boss fight. Was also the end of me tanking for a few months...
To those who say "get better" how? If every time a new player enters an instance, they get yelled at for not knowing it? How are they ever supposed to get better? Endgamers need to step up and help people out. I'm still taking it slow myself, but I don't have a problem with repeated wipes while teaching new people how to do something. They learn, they get better, and they feel good about the game when they pass the dungeon. Then when we move on to the harder stuff, they are better prepared and not stressed out worrying about some jerk calling them a noob or worse. If you want smooth runs with only people who know the run, then don't DF it. Pre-make your group and leave the new people alone. They don't need your bad attitude.

I had a bad party in Garuda HM once when I was farming for the weapon. They told me I didn't know my job as it was my first time MTing it and you know what I did? I said, okay... solo tank this. And I left. Now when I'm in a new fight I watch closely to what's being said and ask for any tips and I do get them.
Did you let them now t'was your first time tanking it? First time I tanked Garuda HM I said so and asked for advice (had killed her previous times as BRD). They ran through it with me. showed me where to take after each stage, trial run, then a kill. Then I passed over 100 kills tanking her trying to get the sword >.<I had a bad party in Garuda HM once when I was farming for the weapon.

Day 1 but for me thats common its online afterall.

Not often. Meet a lot of nasty people in shout chat but I do get one hell of a kick out of winding them up.
I've only run into one person that was obnoxiously rude. Most of the time when I do duty finder everyone is either silent outside the initial greetings, or jokes around. Today I had a CT run that almost every fight was a near wipe, but man chat was hilarious.
Questing is like participating in an Old Spice Commercial - Talk to me, talk to him, talk to me, talk to him, Now Talk To Me...Sadly, you are not done, back to him, look there, its that mob I never liked, back to me, back to him...I'm in the Waking Sands.
I was on Halatali with a pug group, i dps and my friend healing. The tank was awful and asked all of us like, is this your tenth dungeon or something (yes, it actually was for me :P ) A lot of rudeness like we were so stupid an did my pet even attack?? (Yes it was) Since I had been playing very lithe then I felt it was like a blow to my face and this guy made me sad. After that it took a loooong time for me to go into dungeons with ppl I didn't know. Now I've had som positive experiences also, but still mostly like do stuff with my FC.
It is the Internet. Met one on my first login in Beta.
MANTASTIC: I got 1017 problems, but playing FFXIV ain't one.
