    please don't do runs with your fc mates

    and leave spots open for randoms. especially if the healer is in your fc. 7 times out of 10 it's a case of people not wanting their friends to die or wanting them to do good. that's fine in the proper setting but not when you're taking up a strangers time. if you're a healer your friends don't matter, the only thing that matters is healing the right person at the right time.

    i get so many wiped runs because the healer and a dps are in an fc or friends and the healer will heal the dps before the tank, so tank dies, followed by everybody else because the healer still heals the friend before everybody else. also had one low level roulette run where the healer got mad that i was taking aggro from their tank friend so they wouldn't heal me. tried to explain that i didn't have quelling strikes so there really wasn't much i could do besides just not attack. completely ignored it and i had to heal myself with second wind, potions and even the lb.

    friend's in video games are annoying :l. if you really must include strangers in your runs please do us a favor and work on your favoritism. pretty pretty please.

    That's a VERY terrible healer if that's the case...

    That is just bad form. I will let my FC mates die if neccesary, and they know it. If I am on heals, the priority never changes. Tanks, myself, other heals <=> DPS, pets.

    I would like to add my own two cents to this: I don't experience this situation you've described when playing with FC members (though usually the amount I bring with me doesn't exceed 50% of the group, if even that).

    When I DO bring along FC Mates, I am expected to perform like any other member of the group, reaping the consequences of my inability to perform to expectations - with death being the most obvious one (I do not expect raises if this happens, and prefer the healers to rez me only when they have both the time and MP to spare).

    'Course, because I tend to die so damn much, FC mates usually tend to go with me so that my own lack of confidence doesn't hurt my ability to perform or treat the rest of the group like decent human beings (if I get depressed/stressed enough, I WILL snap at you if you aim a rebuke or scolding at me, regardless of whether I mean what I say in said outburst).

    But yeah, I don't go telling my FC/LS mates to give preference to me over the others - besides, my pride would never allow it. I'd rather take a death from my own incompetence than be the cause of a wipe due to bias.

    If a DPS from my FC is dying it means they've done something wrong in more cases than not.
    So I just smack them upside the head and hope they learn from that mistake. I wouldn't ever give a FC member priority over anyone else. When we're in an instance the only thing that matters is having fun and clearing the place together as a team.

    Agree, but I hate most people who run with their friends for a completely different reason: circlejerk toxicity.

    If they are terrible, it's your (and anyone else not in their group's) fault and they have all their friends testify. They got knocked out by landslide during Titan EX? Your fault, you pushed them! They stood in every one shot mechanic ever? Your fault, you didn't heal them well enough. They couldn't pass the DPS check and the boss enraged? Your fault, you're not doing enough DPS as the healer/tank! They got hit with every single divebomb, your fault even though you didn't have the indicator on you. I could go on forever but yeah, I can't stand people who group with their friends and blame their bad gameplay on everyone else.
