how hard is it to do the simple things?

[stebo104]

I keep getting put into grps where half the grp does not understand the simple fact of "stop casting and move out of aoe's", or for living healer to sc res dead healer instead of trying to single heal (using the excuse, he'll die as soon as i res him). There's a lot of other simple things I keep seeing people do over and over again, but not going to list them all here.

So if you notice some, please list them here.

Oh I also was in a low lvl grp (24-27) with a low lvl mage and all he did was spam sleep.

Following order marks, because targeting that giant 1 on top of a mob apparently requires too much effort.

I've run into far more people who don't number them and can't make up their mind which they want to do lol I don't mean the tabbing to keep hate that some people do, I mean actually fighting a mob like 10-20% then switching, then someone gets hate on that one D:<

I've yet to see someone marking at lvl 50 dungeons aside from Thornmarch, i even tried marking when one of my tank classes reached lvl 50 but no one seems to bother. On the other hand in low lvl dungeons most groups i get follow the marks.

99.9% of level 50 dungeon runs, everyone is severely over-geared for the content and can aoe things very quickly with no instruction. Only when I have very new DPS do I mark anything any more in low level dungeons. It's safe to assume most party members are experienced enough to not need marks on trash.

I did this because when i reached lvl 50 a few days ago i was undergeared (barely had the ilvl required for the endgame dungeons) and losing hate from the overgeared players from trash mobs, but after getting my relic and a few myth pieces this wasn't a problem anymore.

Does it matter? This is a serious question, what does it solve exactly by listing complaints of people making moronic mistakes or decisions?

I cannot find anything relevant.

Stress relief? Maybe OP doesn't have an FC to complain to (or it was their FC mates making the mistakes). ^_^

OP didn't really want to rant though... Seems they wanted to start another "List them fails here!" thread.

Misery loves company, I guess. XD

For low level content I can at least understand people not moving out of AoEs. Barring bombs, basically everything up to Titan (Normal) isn't actually that dangerous. I've tutored many new players in my FC through content, and so many of them have problems with Titan, half of which come from the fact they haven't developped actual dodging reflexes yet and it's the first time the game seriously punishes not having them. Even for Ifrit's eruptions it's like 70% of your HP at max and unless your healer is asleep at the wheel you'll be healed right back up by the next one. Hell, I don't even think many low level players even realise how much damage they're taking because it can be healed off so easily.

By the high level content, if there's not an effort being made though, that's just unfortunate. Tried and failed is fine; human error is inevitable even in the best. Didn't even try = ????

Also, re healers: Don't assume everyone has swiftcast (or that it's off cooldown). And in a fight like Titan HM, sometimes it is better for the healer to just give up on healing an ally who keeps eating AoEs and instead focus on people that demonstrate the skill to actually stay on their feet; cruel as it sounds.

All that said, I suspect this is just a venting thread.
