Not everyone rushes in 1 week in of a new content to clear it.
    Through late September, the month of November, and December leading up to the patch.

    This was hardly new content. Half of these attempts were done after I had 6 relics on Hitome.

I mean you seem to get trolls, and uncooperative players all around. Then again, it might be because I'm queueing with Japanese players. I see you are on an American server.
    Trolling attempts were not taken into account. By definition, a trolling attempt will not be successful.

    No mention of people being uncooperative either.

    I queued (and still queue) in all regions. I was put in quite a few JP and EU parties. I was also able to speak with the Japanese players. Most of the EU players spoke English so the language barrier wasn't really there.

    You know you are covering chapter 3 next week. A good student will read chapter 3 (maybe even skimming over it) before going to lecture. A bad student will do nothing.

    The good student will always be more prepared and, overall, be a better student.

    No need to know complex statistics about a company before you interview with them. Researching what a company does beforehand, though, is a wise idea.

    Not sure where I've seen this requested in this thread at all. All anyone is saying is watch a video before you come to a fight. You don't have to study the video (though many of us do): you just need to look at what goes on and see what you can absorb.

But that's a different case altogether.
    No one is forcing you to watch a video just like no one is forcing you to read chapter 3 ahead of time.

    A good player will watch a video. A good student will read the chapter in advance before discussing it in class.

    Mediocre players/students will do nothing to prepare and it definitely shows.

    Being a new player is a negative thing right now. If you announce this in the wrong crowd, you're gone. Why would someone do that? How do you blend in, then? Do some research beforehand so, even if you are new, you still have a vague idea and don't look completely clueless.

    "Oh...those DPS all stacked up near Ifrit before the eruptions went off so that they could fill only half of the arena with eruptions instead of having a randomized mess."

    Know what a new DPS player does? He goes in and tries to attempt Ifrit like he had in the past on HM and easy: sitting anywhere he wishes on the flank/rear of Ifrit. Know what happens when howl goes off and searing wind is placed on the healer, signaling the start of the eruptions? He has the potential to stick an eruption on the MT, OT, or even healer (while being hit by searing wind during his attempt to dodge his own self-placed eruption).

    I apologize if I seem argumentative. There is no argument here: just facts. People on the OF seem to be afraid of the truth because it just might insinuate that they aren't as good as they thought they were. Surprise: that's exactly the case.




    Trying to justify your need to waste other players' time won't really fly. An adult realizes when his or her actions affect other people and accommodates. A child doesn't necessarily care about his or her actions affecting other people as long as they are happy themselves.

    None of this was aimed specifically at you, juniglee. These are simply the attitudes in this thread that have been observed.
