Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

EDIT: Yeah, just checked my contacts, and everyone except me and the other tank were from Sargatanas... what is with that server. Some of the most ridiculous encounters I've had are from there. ><

LMAO the people that caused trouble in my last post were from Sarg, but I love that server, I have alts there and a bunch of friends. :P They're just sending their worst to the DF tonight.

As a long time player from Sargatanas, these stories make me sad. (T_T ) Ever since i started playing this game (started during the Alpha version of 1.0), the amount of times i came across rude players can still be counted with my own 2 hands. People in general (from all servers) tend to be quiet, nice or funny, with an impatient person here and there.

Every community has its share of bad apples, but when you gather all of the good ones, you'll get a very nice apple pie. (^_~ )

( Please don't eat us.... (>_<; ) )

I hope that we'll be able to bump into each other, while queuing up for content and have a blast running it.

So... um, this happened to a friend of mine.

I don't know what it is with me but I have the worst luck on The Navel (Normal). Yeah, normal. Last 2 times I've gotten it in leveling roulette I end up with a healer who clearly does not repair their gear since their heals restore almost no HP. The game even warns you when your gear is in need of repair! Ugh. Wiped 3 times on the most recent one.

Also had a run of Brayflox that went a bit less smooth than it could have and it was entirely my fault lol. 'Equip recommended gear for PLD' button apparently means 'equip dps gear'. Like the big stupid that I am I sold my tank gear thinking it was outdated and I went in and immediately died trying to pull 2 packs. I feel so bad for that WHM... but we finished it without issue after the initial death of mine despite me being a complete idiot who can't read what their gear is. Learned my lesson not to trust the equip rec gear button! :|

Yeesh. When I pop into a dungeon I always ask the healer if they want big pulls or not but if I was greeted with THAT I might do the same.

Lmao uh nope they're getting vote dismissed. What a lazy, awful person. They need to be running the dungeons with trusts if they're gonna be that guy.

Good god almighty it looks like a Tank ToS from healers.

Mmmk listen: first off by Laying ground rules you negate your right to report anyone because you started the malicious behavior by haviung to wall of text out 'ground rules' Most of these are common sense things. second 3 of these are implied based on a dungeon per dungeon basis and one of those is just him refusing to make an effort to try.

And while I don't like being that guy, I'd have left rather than deal with that healer. if you're going to have to grounds rule me like this you need a bit of a break. If you want me to pull smaller just bloody say so it takes 10 seconds. less actually. I do not care on pacing. what I care about is people wasting my time with a salt rant or some other variation of disruptive behavior. if you want controlled results do party finder farms. don't bother pugs with this crap please.

[Heliantheae]

I love me some Billy Badass tanks. I was with them on number 1, we've all had to deal with tanks who are undergeared and overpull and never pop a CD. But number 2, I don't like. Especially if you're a WHM or SCH. Holy and Art of War means you are up there in the fray. And Indom and Medica come from you. And number 3, sprinting gets them out of harms way when doing big pulls. Man if I'd ever get this message, I'd pop sprint, pull the first mob and run back to the healer.

Good on that tank though for leaving. Don't blame them. Can't imagine a dungeon with that healer being done is 30 minutes.

So... um, this happened to a friend of mine.

The reasonable side of me would yeet outta there after seeing that.

The sadistic, you-just-effed-with-the-wrong-guy-with-that-text side of me would've massed pulled and make absolutely certain to keep running until I reach a wall, no cd, in absolute silence.

I don't have to vote dismiss you. You just have to vote dismiss me. You don't deserve me eating that penalty.

This may be unrelated to topic but healers have become the needy tanks of old...more complaints, bad play, vindictiveness, under communicating, over communicating, its just like 90% of forum using the "Entitlement label and not knowing what it actually means"

At first I thought this was kinda funny but now its clear that healers have became gen x of ffxiv...just sad..
