    It's like that on Leviathan. Come on over. But with the type of attitude you are showing I'm not sure it's the server that is the issue.

    You know, that's a funny thing. I main as WHM, but recently I leveled up a PLD so I could help my MNK girlfriend to level. I play this game since beta, and I've always felt in my skin the hashness of jerkish assholery tanks always throws at almost every party I've been in. SO I decided I'd be a nice guy and spread the love with my brand new shining shield. All was well until I got to lvl 50, and then all the shitstorm began.

    I entered my first WP saying "Hello! you guys are lucky, you got a nice tank! I even brough cookies :3". This was met with a "just pull plz". I started marking mobs and pulling, the healer would just run ahead and bring like 5-6 enemies to me. This happened for half the way up to the first boss, then I just said "OK healz, next time you do that I'm not gonna pull mobs from you. Stop doing that please" the answer? "then pull faster". I admit I got pretty angry with that reply and got back at him with "you don't get to set the pace of the run, I do. Now stand back or die. Or leave and suck on your 30 mins timeout." The rest of the run was smooth, tho my GF almost quit the game over it and the assholery we'd have to put up with the next 2348723409230947 runs. And god forbid I forget shield oath, people would even leave after 1st pull.

    It was really mindbending to be on the other side and knowing ppl can be just as jerkish WITH Tanks as tanks can be to the rest of the party. Funny.

    I wouldn't have tried to argue with you either but if you're going to continue a tirade, why not? You're right, right now isn't always available. Sure your learning party may not fill up but you can meet people while you wait. Talk about the fight, learn from one another and friend each other while you wait for others. If they have to go then the next time you're setting up a learning party, you can look for them. The reason these things rarely get off the ground is because no one wants to join a 1/8 party and sit on their hands when other possibilities may arise. If you can start that same learning party with 5/8 people, it has a much higher chance of filling. Is it actual fight experience? No. Is it a step in the process, sure it can be.

    Are you joining DF groups? Yes you're going to meet people who are jerks but so what, they don't really owe you anything and words on the internet aren't going to kill you. Are you going to meet people who are worse than you and stymie your progress? Absolutely but if you bitch about them doesn't that make you something of a hypocrite? Are you studying videos and trying to learn the ins and outs of the fight while you wait or are you sitting on your hands getting upset? If you know what to expect when you enter, then all that matters is execution. You just need to see the whole fight once or twice to set up a clear party which has a better chance of filling with experienced people.

    Finally, I find it quite ironic that in the forum where elitists/raiders have this stigma of being mean-spirited, spiteful people towards others. Your posts seem to spout unmatched vitriol.
    The fact you responded this way just reinforced my point. Where in my argument was I complaining about my progress; getting clears or not getting clears. I myself and in a FCoB Bahamut Static with my FC myself. This was never about ME. My problem with the OP, is that she makes posts that are easy to bandwagon on. It doesn't matter if she's right or it's wrong, she sinks to the lowest common denominator and makes this post to get rise out of people, not actually say anything to be constructive. The OP has no point. She addressed an obvious problem but doesn't see that to fix said problem you might create two more problems in the process. A MMO is a WORLD, and all worlds or complex organisms that have multiple things going on with it at any one time. It's easy to say "these people are starving", "stealing is wrong", "war causes misery and violence", "drugs are bad", "we need to fix the environment". The world is a giant rubix cube, trying to "fix" one side will adversely effect the other sides. Loads and loads of people since time immemorial have taken to "street preaching"; whether its a soapbox, a talk show, or radio broadcast, to use emotional appeal to sway others. The OP is a "casual gamer" who just wants attention as a guise of an elitist player and go "look at me daddy got me a pony, aren't I'm special?"

    The ponies are a stupid award for these fights, but that's an argument for another thread.

    The kind of elitist the OP actually is.

Don't let the jerks get under your/her skin.

    But I will say this: while lashing back at the healer dealt with the situation that time, it's not a good idea to respond in that manner. The golden rule, eye for an eye, etc. etc.

    There's a difference between 'elite' and 'elitist' though. >.>

    It's really quite poetic: the only thing as whiny as a wanna-be raider is an actual raider.
