It's not uncommon for people running a party to kick someone without having the decency of speaking to them first (I've seen this occur too many times both in FFXI and FFXIV). When I've questioned it, the general type of reply I've received is that it "would be awkward" to speak to someone, so it's easier to just "kick them" as they "would figure it out". Needless to say, I don't tend to join a party being led by that person again.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad time. Not all parties are like this (although it does sound like whatever happened to your client probably made the issue worse), so perhaps try again in a little while when you feel up to it.

Okay, you were in a party with elitist jerks who would rather kick you out than give you some advice... or you didn't see what they said (if they DID try to help you).

Just so you know, it's a bad idea to nuke RIGHT away unless expressly asked to. I don't know how large your party was, but if it wasn't big enough to kill the mobs right away, the tank might have wanted to get hate. If they DID attempt to talk in party and you happened to miss it, or didn't respond, that might be why they assumed you were botting. The fact that you switched to healing when someone got low might have also increased their suspicions because bots can be scripted to fulfill certain actions under certain conditions. Is a player below 50% health? Switch to curing, etc. I didn't even know bots exist for FFXIV yet, though.

As others have said... I'm willing to assume your computer wasn't freaking out -- you were kicked from the party. In the future, watch the party chat more closely, and if you are new to something, be honest about it. Ask lots of questions. No one will fault you for asking questions, but they will fault you for making assumptions.

Oh, and if you were CNJ, they may have been expecting you to heal completely if it was needed. Again, it's dependent on the PT setup and who else was there.

I was CNJ. Are you saying that I should of been healing and raising and thats all? And your right, every thing was happening so fast that I wasn't really looking to what everyone was saying. With the input I'm getting I begining to realize I very well might have been at fault. Again I want to thank everyone for their input on this.

[Bowen]

Aw, best of luck to you. When partying, you should prob stick to healing and raise. Maybe a nuke now and then.

Join a LS party. LS parties will always be nice to you, help you improve, and usually not kick you! Also, LS parties have an interest in helping you to get higher level, so that you may do higher level events with them!

Notice the search feature is barely used? It's because everyone has just learned to party with their LS/Friends.
