Ranting of a disappointed player (?)

[Cakekizy]

Sadly these reasons alone are why many tanks refuse to DF outside their FC's, All us tanks have had this abuse on more than one occassion and we don't deserve it so we decide to stop helping out randomer by Grouping with people we know.

All Tank's share your pain and we need to have extra layers of thick skin.

Aye, I only tank with friends, and never use DF as a tank.

Aye, I only tank with friends, and never use DF as a tank.

Yeah I pretty much only tank with my FC and LS's now, the abuse is not worth my time also this is a BIG reason why people complain there's a shortage on tanks.

So all in all people you want more tanks in DF it's best to keep your abusive comments to yourselves and maybe then tanks will come back out into the wild :P

Were these completely new player? If so everyone has to learn at some point. If things are that bad, just politely say something in party chat.

BLM LB1 can actually be useful with trash pulls, since you had no melee dps in the party, it wouldnt have had that much impact on saving it for boss fights.

BRD sounded new or didnt care. If you said something to them about attacking mobs in order and they still didnt listen, let them pull a mob off you and let that mob murder them dead, sometimes people have to learn the really hard way.

WHM should have prioritised healing>dps. Nothing much can be said about this, but again, party chat is there to communicate with your party members.

Tank Abuse is real, but then again...

Cheer up buttercup!
DF will always have its woes.
If you want to decrease your woes, queue with friends.
Don't have friends? Try to make some. Mor Dhona is a good place to meet people!

It's possible from your story that you were actually the one making it a rough run for others! Just remember that you can't force people to play the way you want them to.
For example, Limit Breaks are not requirements for most Duties and can really be casted whenever without seriously impacting your ability to complete the duty successfully!
If you have high expectations from Duty Finder you will get disappointed all the time. It's a game so you should try to have fun and not let bad DFs bring you down.

If you insist on being a negative nilly, you could always level up in FATEs, where you could play alone if you wanted to.
