CT Horror Story?

How about:
Every.
Single.
Run.

Had a DPS drop between Bone Dragon and Atomos. Replacement was a BLM iirc. Myself and another tank said him with the healers and a BRD on the platform, others on boss. After that, he proclames he gets to do Atomos, and when we wipe he rages at us. We tell him to stand his ass on the platform when we get back, and he either got locked out of the fight or did the same thing, don't remember which. Initiate vote-kick, boom he's gone. Smooth sailing the rest of the raid.

Another:
I was in Party A with a few FC members, 4/8. Parties B & C wipe on first room. Thankfully our group finishes off the mobs. 4th guy from FC dc's, system auto-kicks him. 2nd room, again B & C wipe, myself and FC WAR buddy finish off the room with our 3rd FC friend. 3rd... again, B & C wipes except for a tank in C, but then something happens where A wipes and C's tank is last man standing. Cue Vote-Quit, rejected. Make it through to Bone Dragon... everything smooth until the end where he has ~1% health... and the shit hits the fan and everyone wipes. Another Vote-Quit, and it passes.

3rd:
Atomos again. Again Party A with the 2 FC friends. Don't remember how try 1 goes, but we wiped. 2nd a tank from B or C rushes in and about half of each party is locked out. Think this was the one where we had the worst healers ever on KB fight, too. Wipe at least twice, no healers healing the MT, IG running around rampant. 3rd time I'm on NE tower, tossing up SS and my pitiful PLD Cures on the MT when I can. We somehow survive.

worst ct run? a group made us whipe on the very first pull about 4 times then there entiergroup called the rest of us noobs and left fully we had to wait fr a new alliance to join before starting

[odie]

I prevent problems on the first pull by immediately going after the Valefor first. I find that if I don't, almost always someone will invite it to join our party and then all hell breaks loose from there. I'll meet the Valefor on the far pad, turn it appropriately and hold it until the party finishes the elementals and is able to dps the valefor

idk the last run I did the group was nit picking at each other wiped like 30+ times after I got what I needed I just gave up and spent time with my wife

Healer dropped from my party. I was on a DPS.

After waiting quite awhile, including several wipes from Behemoth because the only healer left in my party was undergeared and my party's two tanks were stuck having to tank behemoth and giants (because the other four tanks that had a full set of healers were lazy), I left on my DPS switched accounts and tried to queue in progress on my well-geared scholar.

It didn't let me in. My premade that was still in there told me the healer still hasn't been replaced but the Duty Finder queue never matched me into a run :\

[Hysterior]

Joined an ongoing party with nobody... some people like me started to join with no idea what happened to people before.... very weird

Also about 30 requeuing... thanks tanks...

[Zaels]

And yes, they still need to do something about the tanks that keep withdrawing from in-progress runs. They are clearly trying to abuse the system to get a free ride to the end of the dungeon with no risk/repercussions to themselves at the expense of annoying just about every other class trying to queue for CT.

What is your worst CT run in recent memory?

Worst run was not getting past the first trash group.
