Hurtful though: When I mentioned I'm actually a girl, the tank is all surprised about a girl playing a male character... its not a male character... its my beautiful FemRoe... I AM NOT A MAN!

probably use to roe/galka being male only form 1.0 and 11


Was lvling my whm the other day and got Hakkue Manor. mrd with bad gear, blm (but knew how to control their hate thank you), and a dash happy ninja who kept running ahead of the MRD pulling extra stuff despite being told by all 3 to stop. SO i stoped healing him. Does this make me a bad person? MRD and blm saw he stop healing him during that pull and refused to take aggro off and aoe as well.

Met yet another lvl 60 NIN who apparently never learned the value of Huton (seems to be a recurring thing these days...). Halfway through the dungeon, even though I said I wasn't going to do it anymore lol, I kindly tried to give said a NIN a tip. And guess what?

They started using it! Not only that, they seemed to be able to keep it up most of the time too! And things started dying faster...as they should.

I don't understand why people leave parties because of one bad player. I was in a Bismarck farm today where it turned out the tank was new (as in, ilvl145 weapon new) and had no idea what he was doing - when we got out, instead of removing the newbie and picking up another tank, everyone left. What?

Rather than come off looking like the bad guy and trying to convince enough people to "gang up" and kick the one member, a lot of people would rather just bite the bullet and leave. Or something along those lines I would imagine.

Okay wow. 2 tanks leaving in one week.

I queue up expert as NIN, because I need Ninja drops for my psuedo ilvl 250 bis. 15 mins later I'm in Sohm Al Hard. So we pull the first two mobs, tank uses Unleash, I Death Blossom while we pull, they die quick, I'd say it was me but our SMN probably did that(especially since tank pulled the mobs right out of my doron <.<).

Pull the next to set of mobs. I use Death Blossom while catching up to tank to help damage the enemies....but the tank didn't use Unleash. That's not an issue at all, ir's nothing really. He continues walking past mobs and I use Death blossom again but he still didn't Unleash, which again is still no big deal since it would only take 1-2 unleashes to get aggro. But mobs all kill me.

Okay....still wouldn't be an issue....then the tank says "Ninja why.", then after I respawn, he had basically given up on getting aggro & says "f*** it im done" & does nothing until the mobs are almost dead and then says(as if this fixes it) "I dont wish any ill on ya but ill cya" & left....healer followed...SMN wished me luck & then I was alone. ???????? WHAT? If you didn't wanna bleeping do bleeping expert then dont bleeping queue for it since you are quite literally wasting two dps(especially bc those queue times) & a healer's time. SERIOUSLY?? Maybe the next tank to queue would've wanted to do the duty but NO this person chose to queue up....I need a minute to breathe.

Had a wipefest Dun Scaith run where the top DPS was a THAUMATURGE. Not exactly a knock on everyone's DPS considering the guy was somehow pulling like 2.2k+, it was a wipefest because the alliance in general utterly failed at mechanics repeatedly at Scathach.

I have no idea what kind of crack that person was on, but I think I need to re-evaluate my life choices if I'm losing to a Thaumaturge of all things as a Bard, even if I was only like 100 behind. (Though I was singing foe for him, and he had an Astrologian in his party, so there's that I guess. Just a bit dumbfounded, and quite frankly in awe at that person's obvious skill level.)

Trial roulette as a white mage, I get Sephirot hm and there is a new player in the party (dps).
One of the tanks bails immediately, we kill the boss in one pull with 7 people, and the new person died only 1 time because they didn't stack with everyone in the second phase.

I guess that tank thought the 30 minutes penalty was really worth it, as we killed the boss in less than that.

Dun Scaith just now.
Roll 95 on void matter,97 on minion.
Lost both of them ...

This really infuriated me. Ran trials with the fiancé last night. We got Titan HM. My cohealer is an ast who switched to Diurnal. Thank goodness. Anyways I noticed all she did was use one Helios and just DPS without CS on. Okay... but I didn't say anything since I can still catch up healing.

Then one DPS dies. I swift resurrect. Then cohealer dies right after. Everyone else started dying from the exploding rocks and tumult that my physick sometimes will pop after someone dies. The tank then says "Bunny stop DPS". Excuse me? Does the green swirly thingy while casting look like I'm DPSing to you?

We wipe. Second try. Not even a minute in, 2 people dead already - both DPS. Anyways I swift cast Selene since no really time was given as Titan was pulled right after protect. Somehow some people still die from mechanic, including the ast. And yet the tank started nipping at me again. This time, choice of faerie.

I feel you on that. Last Dun Scaith I ran, rolled a 97 on minion and was sure it was mine. Lost to a 99. First time I saw the minion drop too.
