I'm a bad tank, but vote abandon.. 8 times in a row?!

[Richiealvian]

Well.. Even though the fact that I've gotten 12 Rowena's Token as a healer doesn't really help here, nor do I bring it up whenever I queue as a tank..

I've been trying to clear Garuda as a tank (XM), and everytime before I go in "I'll say Hi guys, I have done this before but haven't cleared it."

Then whenever a wipe happens, there has to be that one guy that does vote abandon.. All with different parties. Just after one wipe. 8 times in a row, all different parties. Sure we have the same people every now and then who chatsI think that's a bit much? (in case you'd think I was telling the story from my side only, there's nothing I hide really. I asked where they wanted me to tank, whether they wanted to have DPS take Chirada, stuff stuff.. I was just being the nice noob there.)

Its sad that people just cant stick with it, I know for me, when I join a group, usually the main reason is because we don't have enough DPS or the healers are just horrible.

[Richiealvian]

We weren't doing that bad actually, the first few times we died because I forgot to pull spiny off, another was I took the wrong add(supposed to be suparna but got chirada) but then onwards we always died because suparna didn't die at the 2nd add phase. But there had to be THAT ONE guy who always, always clicks vote abandon. I really hope when he needs help somewhere someone would just vote abandon him..

Are you using DF, by any chance.

[Richiealvian]

Yeah, was on the DF for E only cause I figured I'd need any extra advice or opinion on where and how they wanted me to tank it. I usually went for JE but since being a tank here isn't somewhere I'm very good at, I thought I'd need the extra communication..

[MichuAmane]

One wipe and poof is crazy. How are these ppl dealing with life? I failed that test let me quit this class. I understand abandoning ship after like several wipes (depending on instance, some ur just gonna have to eat some fail til coordinated) but one wipe quitters are just sad. I am not sure how to improve ur situation because it just flies in the face of reason with dps queues so long.

You used DF and expected communication.

/thread.

[Richiealvian]

It was almost instant queues for me, and well I never lie about my experience in DF. If it was my mistake I'd say it was my bad and went on to keep trying. Is it that gamebreaking for people not to win on their first few tries?

Edit:
If it was a JE DF, I'd be prepared for not understanding some of the Japanese players. But as a half decent person you'd think people be more communicative..

Counter-point.. if you're using DF you should have some degree of patience and not expect 1-shot kills either.. ^^;

Seen this plenty of times now. Gotta say FXIV is the worst mmo community I've ever played with.
