The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Pooky_Bear]

I have this one lolwut moment that will never leave me. Was just to bizarre.

Shortly after launch I was in a dgn. Ppl still learning what you need to do. I can only assume that this person was having trouble changing chat modes cause there's no way this was not a mt.

"I hope rainbow sparkles come out his ass"

Everyone just stopped 'lolwut??' After several moments the guy finally said "sorry mt" and we went on. But I was laughing and definitely forwarded the laugh to my FC who were also 'lolwut' lol

I derped my first run through Brayflox at the two firedrakes. We entered the fight raring to go... and suddenly I had no tools. My entire first-row toolbar was blank! Nothing! The rest of the team was yelling "Tank! TAAAAAANK!" and I said "I lost my toolbars!" and they were saying "HTF do you lose your entire toolbar?"

Anyway, we wiped and re-assembled and the DRG asked me "What number is out to the left of your toolbar?" and I say "Uh. It's 10. Why is it 10?"

That was the moment I learned you could "roll" through the base toolbar

I'd apparently rolled my toolbar with an errant mouse swipe - to the L10 bar.

But... the DRG and his WHM girlfriend were great sports, good humored folks, and I got my toolbars re-set and we proceeded to kick arse for the rest of the run. The DRG got my commendation for leadership under pressure!

I've abandoned titan ex quest twice while trying to abandon failed duty runs.

The other day I ran Copperbell Mines (normal) as MNK for my low-level roulette. Tank didn't even seem to be trying to hold hate. Every time the healer would throw out a heal, she'd instantly get mobbed. I had to switch targets all the time because I kept stealing aggro. Eventually the healer told him to use flash. She told him again. And again. I noticed that he had been spamming his Riot Blade combo - the one that restores MP. I mentioned that the other one is the one that builds enmity. No response. Some time after the second boss (which he somehow knew how to handle - he only killed the Blasting Cap once), he said "sorry, i'm distracted," in party chat, but he didn't change anything. The healer and I decided to just zerg the boss, the other DPS was on board. I ended up tanking the boss, the whole fight. I thanked the healer for keeping me alive (that guy can hit hard). Tank takes the loot and leaves without a word.

A while back I was running Cutter's Cry as BLM I think, and had a group with a 38 CNJ in it.

When I asked why she wasn't WHM, she said;
1: She didn't have time to do the quests
2: The job spells WHM gets are useless anyways
3: She'll lose out on her favourite cross class skills if she goes WHM.

I responded to one with "If you had time to level to 38, you had time to do the quests.

I responded to two with "None of the WHM spells are useless. PoM is highly situational sure, but the rest are amazing.

And I responded to three by telling her the benefits gained from the soul crystal outweigh any cross class skills.

Then she proceeded to tell me to shut my mouth, as if I was being some elitist douchebag. I tried to explain further, but I could tell she really wasn't getting it, and felt like I was picking on her, so I just let it go. When we got to the first boss, I explained the healer kite method to her. She was confused by my telling her not to heal, just run. Finally I told her to use Regen since she can cast that on the run. But I forgot that was a WHM spell. This was a perfect opportunity for me to prove to her that she needs to unlock WHM. But I didn't have to. The tank, who it turns out was her husband, piped up with, "I think he's right babe, I was wondering why other healers had regen but you don't."

Then suddenly add her fourth excuse to the list: It was her husbands fault for not making her unlock WHM, considering he knew what Regen was.

lolwut? /facepalm

Does Party Finder count?

Hoppped into a Brayflox HM speedrun party and there was a WAR there fully decked out in all Allagan equipment
First pull, all he does is try to position the mobs for Overpower and of course loses hate to me and the other BLM resulting in a wipe. I ask him why he didn't do Steel Cyclone, he responded with "You do realize I need 5 stacks of wrath for that right?"

All I could do was facepalm and say "{Infuriate} instant 5 stacks of wrath." The WAR didn't say another word the rest of the run :]

And yes I'm aware of Infuriate > Unchained (optional) > Berserk > Overpower spam, but this guy was ONLY using Overpower

Had a healer in a Garuda HM (for Duty Roulette Trials) go off on me yesterday. (The other healer died, presumably never did it before) and I was tanking garuda and the closest add that spawns during the first phase after Aerial Blast. I eventually died, and the healer goes off on me for the rest of the fight "Wow you got allagan axe and don't even know how to tank". I was like "excuse me?" and he responds with "You just MPKed half the party by facing the mob to everyone". Of course, I respond with "Maybe because I'm DEAD due to lack of heals?" For the rest of the fight he kept ragging on me saying I got carried through my twin kill etc, and the rest of the party is sticking up for me and is like "He didn't do anything wrong, lol"

People are extremely silly.
