Why no one tanks...

[Kazamoto]

I was a PLD main in FFXI for 9 years, loved every minute of it.

PLD was my 4th 50 here, and I don't intend on using it often, too many trolls and critics.

If I screw up, I'll own it and move on. I don't need 20 mins of verbal abuse from some guy because he feels important.

I can always pew-pew on my brd, play songs as needed, and no one will harass me. (thank Altana I don't lag and can dodge red circles.)

Tanking is the most stressful role I've put my hand up for in FFxiv so far. I thought getting my DPS up to a respectable level was stressful lol, I now need to take a deep breath when I queue up for a dungeon on PLD. IMO it is worth it though .

Ill agree that i do see tanks get yelled at a lot for something that was not there prob but when you do start doing lvl 50 runs ppl are just more rude to everyone not just tanks hell some ppl just wanna rush other's attack random monsters like it's free for all. But at the end of the day it's the party your with that can make things good or bad so 1 play with ppl you know or 2 blast music and let the ignorance or rude ppl go by

For every coin there is two sides.

I may only have been playing two weeks (Vet MMOer however) but here's what I've noticed:

1. Some players are just awful, they are rude and just nasty. Ive seen Tanks behave jerkishly when I told them I'm new yet they go quiet when they realise I know what I'm doing.

2. Trolls roll tanks the most, why? Because they will always get a group of people they can troll. Ive experienced this 3 times already and every time it was a "Tank".

3. Some people may have ran into the trolls of point 2 and be having a bad day.

4. Some folks generally are new and have no idea how hate generation works, on the flipside they may know exactly how thus refer to point 2.

Its down to us to start fostering better relations and Blacklisting the trolls so the negative cycle cannot repeat.
