Go ahead.... Admit it

Took me until T5 to realise I should use the pet CDs. I do not deserve to be a SMN.

So, for a few months i hated to go to market board in Ul'dah because it was so far from any aetheryte.. i would tele to the weavers guild and run there to use the mb... then after about 4 months i discovered you could zone through to the market area a few steps from the adventurer's guild... *blink* i felt so dumb

I also was fooled by the big aetherytes and ran to smaller ones to move about the cities.. i also just recently learned about checking the market board from my retainer. so many wasted pages of notes later.

For months I was healing endgame content without realizing that I didn't need to manually target myself for heals.

It saves me so much time now to just de-target and heal myself. xD

Oh man! Been playing for 6 weeks and only just now realised you can reply to the last person who sent you a /tell by using /r..... Would have saved so much time!

[AlrikRouge]

ummm.. I'm already past Titan Ex.. where exactly is this so called aggro meter?! X.X

This is in reference to the threat bar indicators under the party members' names.

I too had no clue what these were for, for the first 5 months I played. I only used the color dots when cycling through mobs (when I was tanking).

^the reverse of this, I only knew about the aggro meter bars, but not the color dots until just a month or two ago! I mean, I knew they were THERE, but not what they meant. Deeeerp.

I remember awhile ago I was talking with an FC mate, and we got onto the subject of Eye for an Eye. I told them how awful it was, and how it's usefulness was just far too limited for any practical use. They seemed rather taken aback, but I don't think they played a SMN, so they just shrugged and assumed I would know better. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I realize how stupid I was.

I misread the tooltip, and thought it simply has a 20% chance to reduce damage for one blow, I didn't understand that it caused a debuff that reduced damage by 20% for more than a single blow.

And on that day, I became a SMN who actually buffed the tank... When I remember to anyways.

About 90% of the things posted in this thread are all things that could have been leaned while reading the little pop helps, or even just mousing over a new symbol on the screen. it is no wonder that so many fights are so much needlessly harder then they need to be so many players literal don't pay any attention to their job or even the game and how it works. I mean seriously you count mouse over something and read the help text? holy cow people. I mean seriously now I know why it's so hard to get people to play their job right in a dungeon, they "know everything" with never bothering to read what it actually does.

Thank you Mr knows-it-all-noobs-should-die.

This is a thread where people own up to things they missed ingame and you come into the thread deriding them.
It's like walking into a weight watchers meeting and telling everyone they are all ugly fat slobs and should read the fine print on food packages.
