Gotta love the community in this game...

[17:17](---) Practice in a group for at least the very first time
[17:17](Me) Why would you expect beating it in DF anyway?
[17:17](---) THEN come into duty finder, to avoid wasting everybody's time

This was Ifrit EX, Duty Finder.

After that he accused me of buying Titan EX.. lol...

(Because I can totally buy a EX Primal when I only have around 90k gil. And why would I want to buy a EX Primal anyway?)

Before you say anything about getting an FC: I am in a FC, but like 90% of the members in it have a innate fear of Titan and panic a lot on it leading to them not beating it.

[DarkRain]

that sounds about right not everyone is a pro but it is what it is

[indira]

DF is obviously the place to learn the elites need to stick to PF or there FC. they waste your time crying bloody murder then leave after the first wipe.

[DenzelTaru]

everyone knows DF is for practise what the heck lol..

we tell new FC members to end game practise titan HM in DF then we will help you (so its not a complete carry) but theres no way we would say "practise in PF parties before trying DF" lol

People like this are everywhere, it's simply unavoidable at some point or another. Maybe I've been lucky and have had maybe a handful of encounters similar to the situation you described, but again, it's unavoidable. What it comes down to is the fact that they shouldn't be expecting an instant win (or a win at all sometimes) when queuing up in the DF. The real "elites" are queuing up in the PF or with their own FCs and probably couldn't care less about DF. Individuals like the one you described are probably not as great as they think they are skill-wise, and certainly not pleasant to be around I'm sure. Just ignore them and move on, they aren't worth your time. :P

imo you should at least have watched the fight on youtube, that way you waste nobody's time. Then practice in DF, although that is a bit douchey, since you should really just be making party finder groups stating "learning party".

Guess what I did. I have watched MULTIPLE videos on YouTube. There aren't exactly many with a Healer PoV on Ifrit EX. Most I see is lol DD PoV, which doesn't tell me much about what Healers do in the fight, which I know by now.

[Doo]

I expect to beating every duty finder content I enter. Whether or not that happens I don't know.

So...
First we wait until someone beat it
After that, watch their video and memorize the fight
Then we gain the right of making a premade
And finally, use the tool created to make content more accessible

Something is wrong there... I fear for the future of MMORPGs if this continues

Pretty much this, or if they do use the DF, they don't expect a win, but they won't be berating people for not knowing the fight, after all, they learned it without the videos more often than not.
