There are a lot of douches in this game, and in this example it was the DDs, but more often I find the tanks being the real douches (mainly because they know they are more demanded and their queues are shorter and I suppose they somehow feel special). In my last Titan HM both tanks (one of them being almost full high allagan and the other one around i105) stood in front of Titan the entire fight. They were basically both on shield oath and competed for aggro the entire match, which meant 2 tanks getting rock bustered and mountain bustered every time. It was a clear example of the level of stupidity of some people. Problems healing them? Wouldn't have had any, but basically I refused to heal them, I don't like having to do extra work because someone is being voluntarily dumb. They were lucky the other WHM was a good guy and put up with their douche attitude.

Umm yeah, thats exactly right. Everytime I que up, I think to myself "well I got in no problem after less than a minute so I'm going to act like a "D" and make everyone bow down to me". Assumption is the mother of all "F" up's.

Could be just having to deal with your attitude. Did you actually try and talk to them and see whats going on? Or are we left to believe that you have the superior attitude.

Snip.

Eh you get it with all roles, was just doing a normal toto rak the other day leveling up DRG a bit, whole party was cool except one thing the healer did. Our white mage decided to do dps in addition to heals (always a good thing unless you let people die) and in order to squeeze out every last drop of dps they felt the need to run up to the mobs each and every one of them and use fluid aura... and repeated it nearly every time it was ready.

Yeah, tank got my commendation that time, for silently putting up with that level of annoyance.

There's a special place in MMO Hell reserved for people who spam Fluid Aura and pet knockbacks on non-immune targets.

hehe, this reminds me of what happened to me the other day while I que'd up for Whorleater Extreme in the DF for the very first time.

Once we entered the trial; I notified everyone that it is my first time here so anything that I should keep in mind or look out for? And the funniest answer I get was, "Oh Empress, you are most likely going to die."
and others were saying, "Won't need to explain, most of the time you will die a lot."

I said alright, LOL, fair enough but a bit of explaining would help. And they did not bother, o wells!

During the boss, I just observed and use my instincts, dodging this and that. Half way on the boss, everyone died after another except me and one other dps. After all, at least I wasn't the first one to die. Muahahahaha! Last one to die, Oh Empress, you are most likely to not die first.

snip.

Probably the nicest thing they could have said was "Watch AoE patterns, kill adds, etc." It's impossible to explain multi-phase mechanics in DF fights since no one is going to wait for paragraphs of detailed instructions to be typed.

On the other hand, if DF is used to fill the group, no one can be too upset that a player came in without reading up on the fight or watching a video. Choosing to take the time to help that person sometimes saves time in the end.

[EmpressCelene]

Yes definitely, well I wasn't expecting them to explain an entire paragraph. I just thought that reply was quite hilarious because in all of my DF que's, it's the way they said it, you will die so PFF! So in my head I was like oh really? are you sure? hehe k I'll show you! I had a good laugh in the end but not a mean laugh like in your face but oh the irony...

square needs to rework Quelling Strike

It doesnt reduce enough enmity regeneration. With it on, as BRD, it will either drop my enmity by a rough 10% or does nothing at all and keeps my aggro in place for the duration.

But once its gone, and tank still hasnt build enough enmity, it sky rockets way back up.

I agree that people need to start being more inviting towards newer/less skilled players, but there's GOT to be a limit to the niceness, I'll use yesterday as an example.

I was leveling my whm in dungeons, got to the Dzemael Darkhold range, queue in with DF, get a warrior tank, the entire dungeon, I'm pulling off him just with my cures (NOT Cure II, or Cure III, or even medica, just regular Cure.) I'm baffled to this and trying to figure out why

Get to the second boss, realize they're not using Defiance. I ask why not, they tell me they never learned it. (O.o) I explain that they have to have learned it if they're a warrior, as it's the l30 job quest reward along with the soulstone. They say they don't see it in their actions, so I must be wrong.

I explain it's under the "Job" tab of the action menu.

This kind of thing is happening more and more and more and more frequently. I have no problem with people new to the game, new to the dungeons, new to the trial, raid etc, I always put on my PF "Newcomers welcome" no matter what I'm doing. But THIS? There is a problem in this game, and it's not just the "mean" players that are the issue.
