Why Does It Feel Like Poor Play Is Acceptable (I'm Venting.)

[Absurdity]

The closest to Icy Veins would probably be SaltedXIV but



1. It has some community drama on the front page


2. From what I've read the site is going to shut down with Endwalker's launch

These wouldn't be issues if advice is taken, but so often, I'm either outright ignored when I try to help, or backlashed back for daring to try.

This issue is getting completely out of control. Today I spent 5-6 hours running PoTD floors 51-100 to level some jobs on my Primal alt. I probably came across 10 WHM or so. Not a single one of them made use of Assize, Afflatus, Tetragamation. For all of those runs except the last one I refrained myself from bringing it up or even asking if they'd like some advise because of how deeply the "U dOn'T pAy mY sUb" mentality has been ingrained in the community.

The last run we were on floors 81-90 and it was getting pretty late, so after the MCH in the party fails to establish communication with the WHM I spoke up.

This happened:



Both the WHM and his friend decide to log out. Not leave party. Log out, hoping that we would kick them in order to circumvent the queue penalty. I took screenshots and reported them both because at that point that is purposefully griefing.

Me and the MCH didn't kick them out though and just proceeded to 2 man the rest of the floors, so happy end.

Woah! These threads always seem to explode with the posts!

Also thank you above person speaking about potd, you have re-enforced my desire to never ever ever not do this with only friends and family. I am so happy there is content that can be cleared with alternate group sizes because it is difficult for us to coordinate schedules.

Making it allllll the way to floor 131 (I think? The one where the last boss is the hydra again) on our first try was most fun. Unfortunately standing under the hydra or at the times inside of the hydra does not mean safe from "Fear within" apparently... Welp. Not when the ping is 160+ I suppose.
