Tanks and Healers: Check your privileges

[Mahri]

I leave if people are being jerks whether it be to me another member or the party in general. I play this as a game to relax and if someone is going to be like that I have no issue leaving and doing something else. That said if its haukke or less as a healer I have no issue voting a mouthy player out even if it's a tank because before Brayflox guess what... You aren't important and I am more than happy to heal a party without you if you are going mouthy and ruin the atmosphere of the group.

Overly idealistic as this may sound, it's really important to stay positive in random groups. Because there WILL be jerkoffs, and abandoning a group due to one bad egg compounds the frustration for everyone else, whatever your role happens to be. If nothing more, it's at least more likely you'll get commended if you stay upbeat, or at least politely firm when it comes to making the run go well for people.

It's a small thing, maybe, and we're talking single dungeon runs that take about 20-30 minutes tops, but games like this one only stay good as long as there are those who are respectful and pleasant and aim to spread that, no matter how many jackasses bumble in.

If you want to avoid boring, why are you doing low-level dungeon roulette, aka faceroll party everywhere.

why

whyyyy

Because it's not the low level that's the problem. It's that some people ALWAYS get Sastasha. Some people always get something else. The idea behind roulette, while intended to fill DF groups, should also get you some variety, but in many cases it doesn't. My experience has been Tam Tara more times than I care to count.

when someone's a dick I stick it out until they leave just in spite.

I stick around for the boring dungeons, its quicker to clear them then eat DF cool-down for quiting

I stick around for the boring dungeons, its better than being a prick screwing over 3 other people and quitting

There fixed that for you.

For the record, Halatali is that for me. Imagine a careless newcomer stumbling into that one snake patrol...forever.

But, even so!

The low level dungeons are in a lot of the ATMA books, too, so you tend to have people trying to double dip. They queue for low level roulette hoping to get the dungeon they need for the book and kill two birds with one stone. If it's not the dungeon they need, they drop.

I get Tam Tara every single day of my life when queuing for low level (healer bonus). It's starting to get on my last nerve, but I still don't leave.

My biggest pet peeve of them all, and it happens all the time, is when the tank (it's always the tank in my experience) leaves immediately when they don't get the dungeon they want. Normally, it's in expert roulette when the dungeon isn't Brayflox.

I'm also really tired of joining Titan EX groups, and someone leaves after like one or two wipes, just as you're getting into the groove (and gaining Echo). Then you have to start all over, by exiting and sitting in PF again.

In my experience with this, working together isn't the problem. In most cases even. Many people can tell after 1-2 attempts if the group has a shot at doing it, getting in the groove isn't going to help 1-2 people that always mess it up.

This, also no amount of echo will save you from falling off.

On the topic I think people are being a bit overdramatic, ive only ever had this happen once. Its like taking a pledge to never murder anyone.

Also what is this, Tumblr?

So far, only dungeon I've bailed on is CT. Couldn't deal with the crap. And it was only when four people continuously spammed sounds, and three in my party were being complete jerks.

Otherwise, as PLD and WHM, I stick through until the end. Never bailed on a 4- or 8-man I entered. Because if I don't have enough time, I just don't go in.
