I actually get kicked out of DF groups just for boosting?

Boosting bad.

Well I don't see the issue, besides the healer as already mentioned, didn't want to deal with the "undergeared". Needless to say, that your ilvl 260 is still overgeared for the place, even tho mobs hit like a truck but not within the first 10 minutes of the dungeon lol. Try this, since you got enough tomes anyway from regular roulette's, go update your gear to ilvl 270, not that you need it but hey just in case somebody examine you. Replace that ilvl 245 with either the ilvl 260 (can only upgrade one anyways), or get a ilvl 250/255 crafted, put some materia in it, aim for the V don't need to go for the maxed out VI's. Next time you get a healer like that, at least it won't be the gear that's an issue, and you will be able to get rid of the healer after 10 minutes

In most cases, moment a higher level healer/tank see's a bonus message, they gonna initiate the kick unless they do need the bonus tomes. Nobody checks anymore if somebody maybe came prepared, might be an alt, or hell even explain mechanics/fights. Can't be bothered and kicking is so much easier, I guess lol.

Sorry this happened to you . I hope you have better luck in the future with more patient party members.

Sadly, not every boosted will know their job so well (and sadder, even the non-boosted can be just as bad). Sooner or later, everyone's going to have a bad experience with a boosted player, and not everyone will respond very kindly. Yours seems more of a minority case, being someone that had been playing the game and just wanted jumped up, rather than new players jumping in with no knowledge (or desire to learn). But, not everyone is patient enough to sort out the good players from the bad, if they can just judge a whole group at once.

Point is, everyone gets kicked from something sooner or later. And there's not always a very smart reason behind it. At least as a tank, you have the luxury of getting right back in to just about anything you need.

People do dumb things. It's better if you don't try to understand them and carry on, imo.

[Nowakii]

and jsut to be clear, you cant really tell if some1 boosted their job or not.

[Exiled_Tonberry]

It's so hard to actually tell with these things, because the problem could be in either end.
Perhaps your use of CDs was bad which resulted in the healer having to spam heal you to keep you up.
Perhaps you weren't keeping aggro on all enemies.

I have never seen someone get angry over just a new character by itself, so there has to be more to this story.

It's easy to tell in a few situations, such as a level 60 DRK/MCH/AST with no other Jobs past 50, as you would need access to Ishgard to unlock those Jobs.

Another is NIN at 60 and no other Jobs past 15 or so since you can't start as Rogue or unlock Rogue until you get access to all ARR City States.

The 260 gear can be upgraded to 270 gear with items you can purchase with poetics, and you might want to consider glamoring and replacing the Filibuster ring with a triphane ring of fending.

People see the unaugmented, unglamored shire gear, lack of any other job at 60 or 70, the filibuster ring, and it screams boost.

Edit: well, you're level 70 now, so it seems you've likely gotten through the rest of SB content without issue. Congrats?

Rogue can be unlocked with level 1 if you start in Limsa. It's a simple side quest near the main aetheryte whoch brings you to their hideout.
