Yesterday's High Level Roulette Experience

[Saccharin]

I won't disclose who they are, but they're actually from my server, I'm glad I got a chance to kick them. I can't imagine how many times people have got sick of them and kicked them as well, I would think by now they would try to be a nicer person, but I guess assholes will be assholes.

Make a harassment ticket. This person will still keep doing it until they get warned off or permanently banned. We need a zero tolerance attitude to bad behaviour in this game to clean it up.

I congratulate you OP (and Praetorium person). Not enough awesome tanks like you guys. That's why I'm considering picking it up.

A similar experience happened a few days ago. I was on my i96 white mage doing the low level roulette. Well, I ended up with Toto Rak (for the third day in a row, but I digress). There was the tank who was maybe level 40, a black mage in the mid 30's, and an archer who had never been to that particular dungeon, and I'm guessing was around level 28-29.

Well, tank states he wants a speed run (of Toto Rak, I know right), so ok. We "speed run" the whole thing and get to the final boss room. We're standing there waiting for the archer (who was new to the dungeon) to watch her cut scene.

Well, the black mage decides to jump down to the boss area, which as you know, sucks everyone in, starting the dungeon. The poor archer was stuck outside locked out. She had a measly 30 seconds left of the cut scene.

I said, "really?" The black mage responds "yes, really." We finish, and the archer stated she was new and watching the cut scene. They locked her out from attempting the boss to save 30 damn seconds of their precious time. I told them it was rude of them to do that, and the response I got in defending the archer was to "quit crying." Unvelievable.

This is why you should be able to blacklist across server and not be matched with someone on your blacklist.

I saw the same thing this weekend where a BLM was bitchig, moaning, and calling people stupid but he was the only person who died due to not dodging aoes.
Oh... But I forgot, it was because the crappy healers didn't keep him stoneskinned through the fight.

The worst players will always blame others, that's why they continue to be bad as their ego won't let them see their own mistakes to improve. XD

I wouldn't have followed, those two would have died right there were I the healer. Even if I entered I'd have stopped healing right after he replied with "yes really" no one ruins baby archers first time.. >=C

We need more people like OP. People who actually care for new players.

I couldn't stop it. Once someone proceeds far enough in the room, there's this wind vortex thing that sucks everone on the platform in. The archer wasn't included because she was on the outside of the room wall. It's hard to describe. But, basically it sucked the three of us in, leaving the archer in her cut scene, then locked her out.

But, you're right, I could have refused to heal. That thought honestly didn't cross my mind at the time.

That thought always cross my mind as healer and tank. Sunday I was leveling tank, the healer and 1 dps was new. I could tell because the where level 32 cnj and arc. The dungeon was brayflox and the other dps was a level 50 monk. I marked every mob 1-4 and the cnj even slept the other mobs. Sounds good so far right? After 3rd boss it went down hill fast. I stated I'm here for exp only and going to do a full clear. Then asked is That's ok? Archer and conjurer said yes and no answer from monkSo I pull a pugil it was only one. The monk was like Tank Pull More. Then proceeded to pull the 2 lizards and another pupil. I'm like wtf dude? He says he's pulling for me. The healer starts to heal him pulls aggro from one of lizards I provoked did my combo got hate. Monk pulls another group we wiped he said I was a bad tank and the healer sucked. So I the next time don't heal him and told the archer not to help dps if he pulls. Funny enough he did it again he died bad mouth us for wasting his precious time and got kicked.

I have my bad days of being a shitty tank that lets slip hate on accident or some such, might even result in a wipe. But one thing I refuse to do, is ruin a new persons first time. Too often I had mine ruined by high level healers and dps's forcing me to go faster than I was comfortable as as a new tank. I refuse to let someone else ruin the game for anyone new if I'm tanking for the new guy. I'll defend the little bambi's till my last hp is stripped from my body. That is what tanks do.
