I don't understand...

[Double]

These last few pages were pathetic and had almost nothing to do with what OP asked. Nothing more than personal attacks on other players here and people bringing up the most unrealistic analogies.

The most simple and effective way to avoid this is to make your own party.

Not playing up to par is subjective and the only viable defense I've seen thus far was OP's example of the BLM only casting two starter spells during the run. We can all agree that was more than likely the actions of a troll and not someone who went through -49 levels of content only to find every other spell vastly inferior to what you did for the first 10 levels.



Play the game properly and use Party Finder. You can even set the pre-requisites to be as serious and "optimized" as you like instead of crying why everyone in Duty Finder(The most uncontrollable tool in the game.) can't be like you.

There's no excuse and it doesn't take a 30 page thread to tell otherwise.
