A difference of playstyles

[Ageofwar]

Difference of playstyles should not be considered a generic valid excuse to kick someone.

I was doing duty roulette expert on RDM (ilvl 313) last night and got Ala mhigo as a dungeon. Party consisted of tank, healer and Ninja. All was fine up to the first boss, I died due to getting hit by the front cannon while trying to avoid lock on (I don't like running around like an idiot for this attack) after the the group kills the boss the healer raises me which I cancel and return back to the beginning.
Before I have even got back to the group the tank has pulled the next 5 packs of mobs. With a large amount of mobs and me being on RDM my first though is they want me to LB the pack, which I do and get killed by the AOE's in the attempt. I return back to the beginning so not to cause the healer any stress. After the 5 packs get killed I was just kicked from the dungeon without no warning. I will admit that about half the materia dropped to me but it's not like I have control over that?

I would love to report these people but I fear it's considered “a difference of playstyles” which reading other posts in the forum is considered a valid reason to kick someone.

If SE staff want the names of those involved I am happy to give them

Kind of sounds like they thought you were just messing around really. Moving out of AoEs should be before DPSing honestly (Since you do less DPS when you're dead), and you dying and having to take time to get back to the group twice can be kind of annoying on some players' parts, as well depending on when it is making it take a bit longer to move forward.

Now to be completely fair. That was a lot of deaths, and each time you died you ran back to the entrance letting the Ninja take care of the mobs for however long you were gone.

Accidents are accidents, but you dying over and over and spawning back at the entrance is wasting time regardless.

I don't necessarily think it was worthy of being kicked, but don't expect a mod to go and ban these people for wanting a DPS that dies less.

Did you apologise for dying? I agree with others that the party may have thought that you were doing it intentionally, and you were making others carry your weight. I don't think you should have been kicked for a couple of mistakes though.

Respawning might've avoided the debuff, but the time you wasted getting back into the action probably outweighed the minor loss of dps.

2 deaths I would not consider a lot and try avoiding 5 packs worth of AOE's while ani locked in LB I would love to see someone try that.

the other thing is this was a duty roulette not a party finder party.

I just consider the vote dismiss rude wthout even saying a thing in chat

"Healers, adjust!"

Speaking as a healer, outside of certain instances like Steps of Faith, a dead DPS constantly returning instead of accepting raise is going to stress me out more.

2 deaths I would not consider constant

rasing right after a boss I would consider wasteful, as for the second time you would have expected me to wait for the healer to finish with the tank who was tanking 5 pack on them?

^What Naria said, you refused a raise because of the weakness debuff I'm assuming, as a healer yeah that could be annoying... usually AFTER you've casted raise and then they respawn Seriously, they might have thought you were trolling, you should have said something in chat why you refused the raise... personally, as a whm myself, I could see that being a lot more annoying than someone dying, just from my personal perspective mind, that might be the reason you were kicked. Not saying it's right of course...
