message from a player to part of the community about jobs

[Pyroclastic]

I'm making this message because I ended again with some overblown heads who kicked me out because of my playstyle as thaumaturge, which mainly consist of never being manaempty (rotating bliz and fire).

And here comes the overblown ego heads that claim it's actually better to spend the whole MP casting fire1, then transpose as it supposedly restore the whole MP bar, which does not happen when I tried it and I didn't like it. Fine, I can understand that some players love to play it like that, but get it in your skull that there's more than one playstyle!

Giving advice is OK, but telling the other exactly what he should do, how he should do and how to play is called ruining the fun. If you are one of those with the overly inflated ego, please, just stop believing your way is always good. There's more than one good way to play, each player has it's own.

Yes, you're right, they were being dicks. But for good reason. They, just like you, are paying a sub for this game. Maybe you like wasting time with terrible "playstyles", but most people don't.

The reason why you are getting kicked so often is because a thaumathurge /blm's MAIN JOB is to dish out tons and tons of dmg. By alternating fire/ice you are basically doing about 20% of the dmg output you COULD be doing. This is why people are annoyed with you in dungeons and turn in to dickheads and kick you.

You say your main is whm? Imagine you meet a WHM in the DF that heals ONLY by spamming regen. And then that WHM says: "Srry, curing is not my playstyle!". This is you.

Imagine a tank that pulls 3 mobs, and then ONLY attacks 1 of them, resulting in the healer drawing aggro. And then the tank says: "Srry, this is my playstyle!" This is you.

Imagine a bard that ONLY spams heavy shot, never singing or using dots or aoe's. And then the bard says: "Srry, this is my playstyle!" This is you.

Yeah sure, EVENTUALLY these "playstyles" will get the job done, but that doesnt mean they were any good, I mean, my 5 year old sister could prolly finish a low lvl dungeon succesfully by spamming 1 button....

Imagine you trying to explain to them they should use cure to heal, use flash to aoe taunt, and use dots to increase dmg output, but all you got was a stubborn response like "Srry, this is my playstyle!", would you remain happy as you were? Or would you become annoyed and pissed off about the fact that you're paying a sub for a game and this person is holding you inside this dungeon much much much longer than it should normally take. Would you start considering kicking this person so that you may get a decent tank/heal/dps? I think yes.

Do you understand now why people become massive dickheads in your company? I'm preeeeeetty sure they weren't like that before they entered the dungeon.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and stop pissing people off in dungeons with your terrible, suboptimal, cringeworthy "playstyle", and ATLEAST read your tooltips. Perhaps reading a small guide would make things clearer. But PLEASE do not expect to be carried on everyone's back. You WILL be kicked with "rotations" like that.
