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

Healers purposely let me die to Doom in Dun Scaith. I was watching the statuses, preparing to remind the healers to esuna the doom. The dooms were being cleared, but i noticed that when i got doomed, it wasn't being cleared. At first i thought it was probably a fluke, but when it happened a second time, i concluded it was being done intentionally. I didnt' say anything during chat during that fight, do I didn't know what i could've done to offend the healers (or the 1 healer who knew to esuna the doom) It's just a game, why do people feel the need to be mean/troll random people online?

Because they think they're anonymous online so their worse tendencies come out of the woodwork.

A warrior couldn’t have started a vote kick on you since you’d be in separate alliances.

sorry i mean he suggest everyone to kick me out, which everyone agree

Just short one, but just now I wanted to do a leveling roulette on my alt's SCH before getting off for the night. But just before the pull after the first boss in the Vault I DC'd and couldnt get back in for a couple of minutes because it said the world was congested. Normally I don't DC, it just happened out of no where. And once I did get back in, I was found I was kicked. They couldn't wait 5min...

Was it actually 5 minutes?

What I mean is... you get d/c'd, so you have to log back in.. go through menus, and then you said there was a queue to get on to the server. Add to that the fact that a rapid d/c straight won't allow you to log back in right away because the server takes its sweet time removing your character from the game world for some reason.

5 minutes isn't as long as you might be thinking it is.

If everyone agreed, what's the problem?

just had funny run in DF castrum abania, tank lost his aggro and when to brd, the tank revived but the brd already run way back with all the mobs. he just run waaay back like 3-4 mobs location back lol.

i dont care if i got kick since iam tank i can get another party in almost instant, if iam downright troll (no stance, no combo, etc) by all mean kick me out. what i dont like is how i already keep saying from the start that i still dont want to be MT, iam still learning when it come to raid, i already watch the vid guide, so all i need to do left is try the raid experience itself by being offtank for a start at least i can fill in temporary in case MT die or something else and later the MT pick it up again, but if you really want me to be MT ok i can try but dont expect smooth run.

and they comply, they even said its fine. but a couple of wipes later they turn 180 degree on me and said my everything is bad, instead of just switch MT role to someone else they just blame everything to me like iam the only tank in the whole group.

That's how it works in that DC. They were gracious enough to give you a chance, but when it didn't work out they found a replacement.

Worry less about the kick and more about what you can do to fix the problems you encountered.

If your taking caused that many wipes, then you have some research to do before attempting it again.

Kind of backwards thinking I've noticed in some of these stories. A bad DPS/Healer "He's fine let him play the way he wants!" or "It's his first time" but a legit person says "I would much rather not MT this the first time" they get hung out to dry. How can one learn if they are forced out, especially if they all kept insisting they do it but then burn em the moment they screw up. She already watched the videos and wanted to get OT experience.

It is pretty usual see terrible dps got not called for the full duty, but a tank missing a single thing get the full course of bad comments.

I once did a little joke on me not want MT because my gear, just to receive so much vitriol comments on alliance chat to let a Morbol breath be fresh air in comparison...

Because there are 15 DPS in Alliance, so a bad apple doesn't matter much (and will probably go lost in the crowd unless it's something like the mechanics at Thundergod Cid) but there are only 3 tanks and 'missing a single thing' can wipe the party pretty quickly.

If the Alliance would be an army, the tanks are the leaders and everyone is watching them as they control the battlefield, with the healers as their second-in-commands, taking care of the whole group but with the tank as their priority. The DPS are the soldiers and a few deaths or underperformer won't matter as long as there is enough firepower left.
