Ranting of a disappointed player (?)

[Zivren]

For the WHM, DPSing is important, but it sounds like they were fucking up and should have held off a bit if you were dying. For the BLM, I believe he was in the right. He's the only LB that matters in that party, and it helps clear crap faster. For the BRD, it would be nice to follow your targeting order, but I'm also not sure how you lost threat to A BARD (unless you're a PLD pre-40, then my condolences, those levels before Shield Oath suck). Like really, Flash or Overpower 2-3 times, you now have significant threat on everything.

No Shield Oath. Was running daily in Haukke, so even if I did have it then I wouldn't be able to use it due to level sync. My usual rotation is nearly always Shield Throw>Flash x2 and then following with whatever is needed.

Fair enough then.

Either way, I think every player's got bad habits. It's very rare I can't pick up on something someone does. Some are major, "Did this DPS really just get hit with this mechanic?" "Really, tank? No cooldowns on a massive pull and you want me to heal you through it?" "Holy crap this other healer is literally only using Medica II"; some are more minor, some are definitely more visible than others. And every player tends to include ourselves, even though we think we're faultless; other players are probably picking up on things that we're not even noticing, and there's always more we can be doing better. A lot of the times it isn't even that players are going out of their way to be a bad - it's just that it's never occured to them.
(I'll admit straight up - I went to MNK 50 without ever touching another role, and I learned a lot about playing a DPS from experiencing things from the healer/tank roles)

And remembering that and being ready to just shrug it off and move on is part of the deal, really. There're going to be players who just aren't ready for the content they're attempting and it's going to kind of suck, but, everyone's been there at some point.

Yeah, I can understand I guess. Truthfully I've developed this kind of mentality due to League of Legends, and it's... bad. Thanks for giving something constructive rather than demeaning like some others would. I'll try and give it a go again, now that I've cooled off and talked to people about it.
