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

Void Ark

Me as DRK was terrified of our healers(WHMs both)... Let's just say they were too busy with Stone, Stone II and Stone III than healing me. I didn't MT anything.

I tanked the bush in void ark last night as my ilvl 180-ish monk. I did fine until I stopped getting healed during the hiding phase xP. The dragoon in my party took over tanking it when I died lol.

I just left a group for copperbell mines just now on my warrior, eating the 30 minute debuff.

At first when I entered I saw it was copperbell mines so I purposefully logged off hoping they would just kick me. I hate that place.

I logged back on 10 minutes later and AMAZINGLY they still didn't kick me.

I said somewhat awestruck "You didn't kick me"?

And one of them said "No you must have disconnected" and another "We had faith".

So I just chose to leave the group. They should have just kicked me and saved some time.

Literally the worst behavior. If you don't like the area, eat the penalty. Don't be an ass about it, just leave so they can get a replacement. You essentially just wasted 10 minutes, plus whatever time they had to wait on a new tank, of someone else's time because you couldn't eat the penalty for some reason. When you do roulettes, you have to accept that you'll get areas you don't like from time to time and, if you really hate an area, you leave.

You should have just run the instance and saved everyone involved some time.

Not gonna call ya the worst person ever like some of the others, but I do wanna say -

You can't kick someone for 5 minutes after the dungoun starts (they can't boot you right away)

Usually if you're polite and just ask politely to be removed, most people will oblige you. The reason doesn't really matter, just say there's something else you need to do if that's the case - only the truly spiteful will try to hold you ransom in a party (And at that point you can do what you like.)

I hate this type of behaviour. I would've waited you out on purpose (if the rest of the party didn't care. It is CM after all it's not like it's hard). If you don't want to do what a roulette, aka a RANDOM CHOICE will give you then don't do it or eat your own penalty.

As others have said, it's a pretty big dick move. You should just man up and leave but instead you wasted everyone elses time, nice.

Qued up into leveling roulette this one time as a tank and got Aurum Vale. I hated that place and wanted to leave but I didn't and chose to have faith in my teammates. We beat the dungeon no problem and had a good ol' time. \o/

Static is having a rough time today.

Our NIN appearantly lost power, so we had to seek a rep for our raid night. We put up in PF for A1S + A2S weekly clear party.

A NIN joins. Cool, keeps the things the same, works out. My girlfriend and I notice that he's on both our blacklists, but we decide to give him a chance - he was a carry on Ravana-EX, and had a really poor attitude. WE really didn't like him at all and blacklisted him.

So today we give him a chance. Take him into A1S with us. Does extremely low damage, gets carried for the fight basically with his low DPS.

Oh well. We get ready to do A2S. Only...

He says he hasn't done A2S before. He just didn't tell us because "He wanted to do A1S"

ugh. Some people. We booted him and everyone blacklisted him.
