Yesterday's High Level Roulette Experience

[LeonBlade]

Yesterday while doing my roulette as a tank (love the queue times) I ended up getting Haukke Manor Hard Mode. I took a look at the party and noticed that the black mage's name seemed very familiar for some reason, but just as I couldn't pin-point why, I ignored it.

We get to the hallway with the floor that electricity flows through and enemies will spawn when you walk on to it. Someone accidentally triggered some enemies or something, and so I just decided to pull the whole hallway, but I ended up dying. It was only then I noticed the white mage was pretty under geared with some pink gear still, and so I made sure to take it more slowly.

Anyways, we get to the boss with the disco floor lights and stuff and the white mage ends up dying some how, I didn't really see. Well, the black mage chimes in and says something like, "wtf kick this white mage" and the dismissal window came up to kick them out of the party.

It was then that I remembered who they were...

Months ago in a Titan Extreme party before 2.2 this very same black mage was being a real pain in the ass to everyone in the party. He eventually started calling out Titan's rotations and bitch to people saying "I'm not going to help you any more you need to figure it out on your own", something like that; basically acting like the entire party's success was in their hands and saying how much we all need him. Well, funny enough, he got hit with something and kept bad mouthing people or just being an overall pain in the ass. Eventually someone suggested to just kick them, to which he of course responded how much we need him in the party, and I gave him some response in return before he was kicked.

Fast forward back to yesterday, and I told him "I remember you now, you're that asshole in the Titan Extreme party I was in months ago that bitched to everyone and then got hit with everything", and proceeded to vote kick him for harassment, which of course went through almost instantly.

Turns out, this was the white mage's first time in the dungeon, so I reassured them and we got a new DPS pretty much right away and ended up finishing the dungeon just fine.

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.

Nice one LeonBlade ^^ It feels great to get a little support from strangers going into new content!

Yes it is, I started on PS3 back in beta phase 3 and currently play on PS4. I'm guessing you're asking because people like this are all over MMOs, I just wanted to share my experience with some people on the forums, I guess a better place for this thread was in the New Players section.

I always love helping out new players, I'm glad the other DPS in the party didn't vote to kick the white mage out as well, I wouldn't want them to feel bad about themselves for being kicked out.

"I remember you now, you're that asshole in the Titan Extreme party I was in months ago that bitched to everyone and then got hit with everything".

Sounds like something I would say. /emote thumbs up to OP.

It's always nice to stick it to those players that really deserve it, I just wanted to share this experience to anyone that has encountered someone like this and hasn't really had the opportunity to give them what they deserve.

/thumbsup to you too!

Well done, it's about time people started giving new people a helping hand. My hat off to you miss

I am glad someone has the decency to be nice to a new player and not kick the whm for not having high level gear. Where were you when I first started playing?

[TheMunimai]

Nicely handled Leonblade!!

People like that are annoying, what's more is they put off newer players to the game, I'm sure the white mage is extremely grateful!

I Roulette into a Main Scenario dungeon and the first thing I always ask as tank is, "Is anyone new." one day like three people said yes they were new. So I said to the party. "let's take it slow and let them enjoy this, its a fun dungeon and they should be able to experience it as it's meant to be experienced. So me as main tank, the off tank, two healers and a dps all start running the dungeon as normal and starting fighting the first set of mobs. The rest of the DPS's all use the materia device to teleport to the next section then realize we didn't go in with them. When they realized we were not rushing with them, they got frustrated and told us to skip everything. When all of us (Technically a majority) said no, we wanted to run the dungeon legit and finish everything and let the new guys watch their cutscenes, the three dpses left. leaving us 5 alone.


We actually had fun running it as a five man dungeon all the way up to Nero who ended up wiping us because of too many hands. But I sent an all call out to the Odin/Behe linkshell I'm a member of and some cool cats came and joined and let us go at the pace the new guys could enjoy. I think it was probably one of the first times new players got to see the mobs during the Magitek stomping scene in a while based off how fast everyone wants to run those dungeons. We still finished the dungeon in less than an hour and actually had fun not rushing it. The new guys thanks me and I walked out of the dungeon with 7 player commendations. which I was seriously shocked at.
