No one ran up to anything, mobs spawned on us. This isn't FFXI either, it's FFXIV. Notice the V on the end. That means it's not the same as FFXI. And we had a dead healer, with the THM struggling, I was using hp moves, the tank was in pure defence mode, and we made it through. Even if we died, it was still exciting and fun, but more exciting and fun because we lived. But we lived as a result of people knowing what they were doing and performing calculated tasks, not just mashing the x button to hit hte mob faster or heal faster.
