1. When you approach a zone line, do you try to hop over it or just go through it?
Just go through it.
2. Between pulls in a dungeon do you jump, prep buffs for the next pull, both, anything else?
Nothing. I might prep buffs.
But in Thornmarch, when the moogles all start dancing I use /mogdance.
3. If/When/The last time you did/do Syrcus Tower, before and/or after the first trash pack, did/do you take the left staircase or the right? (Or impatiently spam-click the teleporter because screw walking.)
I don't know about other data centers, but in ours A alliance always goes left and C goes right.
If I am in B alliance I just follow the leader.
4. On a related note, for Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower, do you walk/run to the first trash pack or do you use the teleporter?
I walk or run. Depends on my mood.
5. When you have to go to an area that's set below you in ARR zones (Camp Drybone, Witchdrop, 789th Order Dig, etc.), do you take the "intended" exit/entrance ramp or just drop down?
I almost always use the intended exit / entrance ramp.
6. In dungeons, are you chatty, just say hello and goodbye/good game, do you not say anything, or do you wait until something goes wrong to speak up?
I always say "hello" (よろしくお願いします)and "good game"(お疲れ様でした~).
If I notice there are people in my server in my group, or if one other person is a friend or FC member I will talk more.
7. In a wipe, are you likely to be the person that caused it, the last man standing, a casualty of the wipe-causing mechanic, the person that tries to salvage the fight, or do you see the inevitable and give up early?
The person that tries to salvage the fight. Even if the fight requires two tanks I will pop Keen Flurry and Shade Shift and try to use Max-Potions and Second Wind as much as possible to take damage.
When I am ninja I am rarely the last one standing because I am often 2nd on hate list, so the boss will come to me next.
I never give up early unless I am in a raid and raid leader says "wipe and start over", because we have limited time.
8. In trials, during a boss's ultimate attack, what do you do? Dance, emote, buff, anything else? Feel free to include Shiva's Diamond Dust as a separate case because getting frozen in different poses is half the fun.
In Thornmarch I do /mogdance. Other than that, nothing.
But, when I get petrified in the Aetherochemical Research Facility, I always take a screenshot.
Before I cut my hair...
