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

I make horrible duty finders. I have read every post in this thread to see if someone posted about me.

Loads of bullshit...

Do you need a medal for your behavior? Because you sure sound like you're fishing for one.

If I ever find a person who's behavior is worse than yours, I'll make sure to make him give you a medal.



Also, just curious: How is this attitude working out for you in real life??

9. I am the guy that you hope you don't get in your duty finder if you suck. Believe me I don't want you in mine.

Just give me 5 minutes babe, you'll want me sucking in your Duty Finder group often.

Most people can't muster the nerve to act the way they do online in person unless they know they can get away with it.

It's why you see people being abusive to Customer Service employees of any major chain, because corporate will most likely back the customer at the expense of their employees in order to keep the business of such an intolerable person.

I was in Sastasha and we had a newbie archer who was a Japanese speaker. She pulled aggro, ran ahead of the tank and ddn't hit targets as marked. Tank didn't say anything at this point, so me and the other dps were explaining to her how to play in a squad setting. Things improved a little until up to the point just before you unlock the room to the captain's chambers. Tank pulled, archer attacked, and instantly, the target changes to the archer. Tank sat down at this point and said something along the lines of " To hell with this, I'm gonna sit here and let her tank everything." Even though the mobs were killed, he just sat there refusing to move, cussing the newbie out with choice words best not repeated here. TLR, he refused to accept the archer's apology, insisted on throwing a tantrum, saying we disrespected him as a tank and "ya'all can go find yourself another tank!". After a few minutes of trying to convince him to just let it go, we did just that. And to top it off, I found out much to my dismay that he was also from the same server as I was, as I got a rude PM from him when I got out, to "learn how to play your healer, nub".

Another instance, in Garuda Ex. Tank told everyone to ignore mechanics and just DPS. Whenever we followed the mechanics, he'd scream at us, saying "I've never seen such a huge group of pussies in my life!" Not surprisingly, we wiped, which lead to another round of cussing, snide remarks about our capabilities to run DFs, and "please vote dismiss me". I still remember the tank's name to this day because he was just so bloody rude, and so badly geared to even run GEx to begin with.

Thanks to the mod who deleted that horrible post from earlier. o/

I think it might actually be a good thing! Now you can blacklist him and you never have to worry about ending up in his Party Finder groups or hearing him in /shout /say or /yell. c:

It dépends on the kind of people on are facing and how strong they are. I personally prefer to punch the guy in the nose then let him insult me or threaten me, last time someone tried that he became fast persona non grata. In an online game though, abuse is only possible if you let it happen. I have never met anyone that deserves this kind of attitude but as far as I am concerned I am the type of person that would remove the fairy altogether just to not let her heal the *Fersaken* type of people.

Ultimately, he can do what he wants or even say what he wants only counts what happens and the conséquences of such attitude. in his case it would mean lots of death and unless people are all weak people he would be kicked or just let be there and die.. one dps less you can do without they are not important (of course the rest will ned to work a bit more or will take some more time), even tanks arent and those if they are get kicked....shrug...where is the problem ? they are not Worth a single ounce of time spend in energy and breath, and if really there are no enough dps to finish a given place, you still ahve the option to abandon and start over...I dont understand people that allow abuse to take place no matter the type of it, the sheep mentality is also a sort of abuse,athe * Ikick a player because otherwsie I will be without tank and I will not finish my dunegon* type of sheep attitude, you know...is being EXTREMELY weak..and many are just puppets and weak people that hide behind the anonymity of a place...we all met them we will still meet them not sure why we even speak about them...me included..lol

Thornmarch HM story (granted it can probably be done with one tank at this point, but this is DF):

I que as a WAR, there is another WAR, I ask them to take the king since that way I can focus on tank moogles and it helps to divvy up who tanks what when you are with strangers. Said WAR is not in a tank stance and doesn't respond.

I take the tank moogles and the king is also on me, I take all the damage while the other tank still stays out of tank stance and attacks a random moogle next to the king. King peels off since a healer is spamming heals to keep me alive, and thats after doing enough damage to where I go down. Wipe happens.

Now we start the run again, other war is still acting like they were, but the summoner has summoned titan and is keeping it alive with sustain as it tanks the king. The yellow nugget proceeded to do a good job and this time we got a clear.

I commend the summoner, compliment titan and go on my way, wondering what in the world just happened.

Unless something else changed, you can't get Rogue until you get something else to 10 anyways, so it would be entirely possible to go, say...Full tank gear, and have nothing a Rogue can equip.

If I recall, they made starter gear have item level 5 recently so..technically..you could yeah..It was item level not gear level.

Just qued up for the Expert Roulette as a SCH. Got in to Pharos Sirius Hard with a WAR and two SMNs. I'm instantly a bit cautious because I've had more than my share of trouble with WARs in the past while healing. I had no idea what I was in for.....

Right off the bat, I put protect and stoneskin on everyone, and then the warrior proceeds to pull almost every enemy prior to the first boss and we wipe because I simply can't put out as much healing as they're taking in damage. We wipe and come back and they start taking it at a normal pace and we don't have any more trouble. Until the first boss. The two SMNs would link the enemies like you're supposed to, but when the adds spawned I suddenly found myself tanking them as a SCH because the tank wouldn't grab them and the SMNs wouldn't attack them. Not TOO unmanageable but still a pain....

The dungeon went fine from there. Until, you guessed it, the next boss. The SMNs once again wouldn't attack the Slime adds when they spawned, nor, obviously, make any attempt to plug the gas leaks with them. This lead to damage accumulating quickly, particularly so when the slimes started to explode. To make matters worse, they weren't attacking the kobold adds either, so it was a constant effort to dodge the bomb AoEs, while spamming every healing technique I had just to keep us alive. We somehow got through that one with no casualties, but it was close at times.....

Then we proceeded through the last third of the dungeon with little issue on the trash until we got to the bomb incubators. With the way the run had been going, I marked all three with "1","2","3" marks to indicate that they should attack them. The SMNs proceeded to ignore these marks of course, as any dutiful DPS player would do, and the only incubator that died was the one I had marked with a three that got caught by the edge of their AoE attacks. Cue adds spawning from the walls, combined with tank not making an attempt to pick up said adds, combined with bombs from the two undestroyed incubators, (I had harmed one slightly in between healing the tank, but not managed to kill it), and you add all that together to make a very unhappy healer.....

AFTER THAT, we managed to make it to the final boss itself, which was a cake walk after the rest of the run, despite the fact that the SMNs wouldn't attack the Grey Bombs until they were almost exploding, (and would have if I hadn't of been pure DPSing them to get their health low before hand). We ALMOST wiped during the second phase because they made no attempt to keep the Remedy Bombs from the Grey Bombs, but I managed to keep one from detonating and was able to use all my cooldowns to prevent a wipe there.....

Long story short, no commendations were given to my party for that run.....
