I had a nuh moment in PoTD, seriously one of those moment that leave you wonder if you could just go rage and Knock them off once and for all.

PoTD last 10 levels-SCH (me)-DRK-BRD-SMN

for the entire 10 floors tank never tanked a single time, BRD was runing allover the place BUT with the rest of the group and so did the SMN...they were all in different places never together, leading to a few death, afterall I cant be in many places at the same time, and when those few times together tank never tanked a single time so I ended up having aggro all the time during those moments and those mobs can hit pretty hard, of cousre when he attempted to regain aggro he never had the proper stance on and so couldnt and so we often then not ended in the brick of a wipe..if ti wasnt me it was the BRD kiting like a mad gorilla. You would think that Titan EGi would have been taken out ? well nope...it was Ifrit...to add to the rest.

At lvl 43(I couldnt hold back me being who I am ) I asked why he couldnt tank..his answer was, these levels you dont need to tank as they can be done with 4 dps. People can kill mobs on their own (true story) Is that really so that people dont require to do their job, and can do whatever, careless of the rest ? from the looks of it seem so.

One thing is sure, next time I meet such people, I will just forget I am a healer and will just dps based on that premise that well since it can be done by 4 dps, they dont need a healer ? right ?.

We made it, barely, but we did.

What is more worrysome is the trend as that answer wasnt the first time I got such an answer and thus why even have classes ? is not necessary let us all go there naked since no class is required...seriously I was just NUH...

I hit level 60 last week and wanted to finish the available Main Scenario Quests before heading into the endgame content.

I unlocked Nidhogg and queued up in DF.
Here, my desperation began:

(side node: It was terrible weather outside, warm as sh't, muggy as hell and I had a slight headache. I watched a guide to see what awaited me and went for it. I just wanted to get it done before going to bed earlier than usual.)

1st party: Didn't even let me finish watching the cutscene before leaving. I finished the cutscene and found myself alone on the Steps of Faith. Around 10 people in total joined - only to leave immediately after spawning. I abandoned.

2nd party: Luckily, I found some relatively patient people who didn't abandon after the first wipe. Unfortunately, it didn't end with just one wipe. One of our healers thought it was a good idea to stand in the big black holes of doom all the time. After they died, their only responses were: "WTF" or "lol". Our party members tried to talk to them, to explain the strategy - they just wouldn't listen to us.
After a while, we found out that they were a German. One of those who didn't speak the tiniest bit of English. As a fellow German, I tried to explain the mechanics (DO NOT STAND IN THE AOE) to them but do you think that it helped? No! They just repeated the same mistakes over and over again until they asked the party in German:

"hat das schon jemand gepackt (did anyone manage to complete this fight yet)"

I translated it for my other party members and then they left after desperately looking for excuses.
(side note: I'm German but my hatred for my countrymen in online games knows no boundaries)

I said, "Screw it!" and went to bed. On the next morning, I wasn't any luckier.


3rd party: A typical HURR DURR one wipe? ABANDON!!! party.

4th party: A mix up of German (sad face) and French players, plus a single English speaking one. We wiped once, but people didn't leave (yet). I was really surprised at this point. But I was a fool to expect any positivity or patience. The German players started insulting the French:

"hach, typische Franzosen mal wieder (oh my, typical Frenchmen again *insert typical arrogant German smiley*)"

"Noobs bleiben Noobs xD (noobs stay noobs xD)"

And then they left. The French wrote something in their language and did the same. The English speaking person just said "gtg" and was gone in an instant.
I was really getting frustrated at this point because I had already ranted with some friends and they were just like "Well, it was easy on patch day".

Luckily, I found some people on my server with party finder (should've done that in the first place) who, although they were mostly in for the tomestone bonus, were really nice and helpful. Then I took a nap to calm down, but thinking of it made me wanna vent again so here I am!

Also, yes, even though I am German, I really despise most of the other Germans in online games. Before I started playing XIV, I frantically looked for some information on which server has the fewest Germans... Please don't think too much of it (as it's part of me venting right now).

I am feeling withyou, our "people" make me cry. /(which is why i avoided Shiva when i startd the game at summer 2014ish.. highest Popularity of "Germans" and 99% of them are idiots to say it the nicest way possible)

Saddens me to say stuff like that to my own nation but it is how it is.. "the evil french people"sure... Most germans are not better, and with most i mean "ALOT"

Your story is similar to someone i encountered in the DF. I loaded into trial roulette in my Monk. A Black Mage was new. Everyone left except me and another dps. I literally could not spam click "refill party" fast enough, We must have went through a revolving door of about 10 people. Eventually I asked "hey man what server are you on?" Cerberus he replied. "Cool wanna jump out and party up and I can queue with you on my healer?" Sure that would be great thanks he/she said. We loaded into a fresh instance together and cleared it in one pull.
You know the funniest part? The newbie BLM played better than some of the other dps that already cleared it. He dodged everything.
Afterward I added him/her to my friends list and if he/she needs help in the future they know where I can be found

I also had a handful of players belittle the "noobs" in World of Darkness. And this all kicked off after one wipe. One wipe on the LAST boss :/
It's a small wonder that new players find it hard sometimes starting out in this game, the hostility toward them is unbelievable.

So I just found out something new.

Apparently if you use dragonfire or spineshatter dive on Ozma when your starting position is on the outer rings, then you die.
