The Real Problem with Zodiac (Tank Speedrun Woes)

[Isius]

I would have to agree with this thread. Any of the dungeons now associated with the new zodiac class weapons has become a haven to those that want nothing, but perfect runs in their minds, and anything less is just...well you are a trash of a player wasting my time, and I will make it appearant I don't like you verbally or nonverballly. This has been noticeable in the last 2 weeks. But this is nothing new honestly as others have said this has been around with all the new relic quest lines, and it won't change. But this type of attitude has always been around during the first week of the game with "HQ only gear parties/CM farms" to get philoshopy tomes, and later "Relic + HQ gear only parties" then "Relic+1 only~~~whatever parties" and it just grows, and grows, and never stops. People's hunger to get the new shiney the quickest, and fastest way possible will always be there, and it won't change.

Yes, what I stated up above is what people advertise in PF groups, but people also force this type of mentality into DF groups. They don't care if people are new or undergeared it's just rush, rush, and more rush. This only causes both sides to possibly getting sore at one another, and no one wins, and everyone that plays the game knows this is true. "Mmm...boy, new person +sol lolz." "Don't rush plz." rush anyways* "Your gear sux." "This healer/tank sux"

When I tank in DF's I always check my parties gear to see how much I can pull. If I feel like I have to make a adjustment to my pulls after the first one I will do it, and proceed at that rate THE WHOLE PARTY CAN HANDLE, not just one person. And I never really get a complaint about it. I even ask parties if they are all lvling if they want to do full dungeon runs so they can get more exp, when I am just doing it as a roulette or something for my relic questline, then just speed run it. I am even one of the guys what will queue in progress for a particular dungeon for people when someone goes anal and leaves a party.

But yeah, I have my limits, I'm human afterall on how much I can take, and just this morning a healer that decided to not heal me because I didn't skip a couple mobs, and this was just the first pull. He didn't say anything to me to skip them just stood there watching my hp pool drop as if he was teaching me a lesson this is what I get for not skipping a few mobs that he only knew/wanted to skip. I almost died if I didn't pop Hallowed Ground. I was under 10% my hp after all if this and all he did was /laugh at me, then he finally started to cast Cure 2...I turned the game off. I have better things to do then deal with people like that, and all I got to say I am sorry for the other two guys.

Frankly guys, I do not pay monthly to a GAME, a game which is something meant to be RELAXING to be ENJOYED. I do not pay monthly to deal with people's egos, or to deal with people's insecurities is it really that hard to realize everyone is different and to respect eachother for those differences? If a group wants to go faster or slower. I do it. If a guy needs a extra mob kill for his Grand Company hunts. I do it. The other 3 to 7 characters on your screen are people not NPCS, and I never call people out if they are doing badly.

But the type of person I described above is rare that are just plain rude, and will attack people over little reasons, but still it really bums me out everytime I meet one. It's just becomes more tiring to deal with every new one I meet.
