Lazy players in dungeons.

[Malevicton]

I love being lazy when I'm a 58 SCH doing LL roulette and I get Deepcroft. I just /follow the tank and afk for 20min as Eos heals everything flawlessly. Healing a level 19 dungeon is probably the most boring thing in the game.

But that means I have to do stuff.

I tanked Tam Tara NM once with a bunch of over geared i130 50s. That healer got really buissy when I started pulling entire floors like is was Bryflox HM. lol good times.

Linking that alone doesn't really prove anything since you can be carried by friends,FC or pay for carries.

Or he could've linked it out of his chatbox from a linkshell or FC chat. It proves nothing. :3

This is sadly a common experience for me. I see:
- Healers never prepare for big damage spells, they rather wait till the players are very low hp.

- (This is more of a choice then lazy) As a healer whenever I do Leveling Roulette or High Roulette, I have always 90% mana left, so I help the group by doing dps. When I tank or dps in a Leveling Roulette, I get a healer who sits on 90% mana left and does nothing in a fight. I know that one plays a healer to heal, but standing there doing nothing is pointless, so why not help and finish the run faster?

I tend to be really little in cleric stance tbh.
Why? Because there is always that 1 person that gets hits by everything.
As an atrologian i have 1 shit button and i don't wanna use it on stupid nonsense like that when the tank might require it a bit later.
However when i was a scholar in 2.x i was in cleric stance a lot more, a fairy backing you up does wonders.

Honestly, and I mean no disrespect to anyone here or the OP, but I see 2 things.

1. is the lazy player as you call it.
2. is the impatient and angry 'pro' player.

Both are problems. In your example, you asked if he were using a skill. He replied with something. It was actually you who then starts to be a little bit elitist/rude.

This is just as bad to be in a party with. It doesn't help that he was wouldn't take your advice but honestly, i'd rather be in a party with someone not using a skill (which often, like in my own case, is because they are new and doesn't know necessarily they should use it) than someone who complains and starts arguments in chat the whole run.

Honestly that is worse to me. Like we did camp westwind yesterday and about 5-6 people were new. The tank got majorly angry and shouting at people after 1 wipe. 1 wipe in a trial which over half the people hadn't seen yet. That made the experience worse than the people who caused the wipe in my opinion.

I agree both are about equal in terms of being an issue, I see it a lot on the Trial roulette...it is extremely fast source of Law even if you wipe once or twice and people will complain while the first attempt is still going on that people weren't perfect. That is a frustrating behavior and can only hope the person is very young and not some older, immature person.

Snip

Except the DRG did all the talking/bragging lol. I just asked why wouldn't they use BOTD, the rest you can look up the rest of my posts in this same thread. It's really simple thoug; I asked, they complained and tried to look good by linking an item, then thought I was gonna kick them and threatened me with a report. It's just that simple. I'm far from being an elitist, but lazy players? Hell, no.

Well you don't know the others' mind set. Your healer might simply feel uncomfortable switching to Cleric Stance, fearing to be unable to bring their healing when needed. A legitimate issue when you're not entirely familiar with healing in this game. Personally I never try DPSing as healer until I get a feeling for those random players in my group.


Generally I do not think it is our place to judge how others play, at least not as long as things go fine. If that's not the case you may start giving advice (!), not before. Who cares if you agree on how Fred Anonymous uses his CDs as long as that doesn't wipe you? I certainly do not, and I don't want others to judge my play style just as well. There is no definite right or wrong to these things, as much as some want everyone to play by the doctrine of class guides.

This! Particularly during the first half of a duty, I hold off on DPSing to gauge how much damage the group takes and how much I'm needed. Once/ if I'm comfortable, you'll get your gosh darn DPS. If you still see me not turning on CS but you're not taking much damage, more likely than not there'll be a special snowflake in the group who drops to 50% the minute I start to cast Stone.

It's better I stand there for an extra two seconds and keep everyone topped up rather than throwing out a flimsy Stone and end up with half the DPS on low HP just to please grouchy players.

Really, I've seen a lot of players whose actions make me go "...?", but if they're doing their job, it's not my place to tell them how to play.

I wish I had the mentality of someone who enjoys spending 50 minutes in Neverreap/Fractal. That amount of patience is godlike.
