How has your mindset changed with regards to other players since your started the ga?

Ok Sturm Churro - It really sounds like youre not having fun in the game and generally unhappy. Perhaps maybe take a step away for awhile? I know that I cant play when the fun just isnt there because of a long streak/drought of unpleasant experiences.

Reason I say this is because youre trying to compensate so much. You can only fill so many other people's cups until your own cup runeth over.

Players are responsible for their own enjoyment. All is required from you is to not be a dick to others, not fixing their problems.

Also, the way to cluster farm is having a tank with that leech essence (I don't remember the name but that tank will not need heals at all) and everyone going nuts with AoE while using Spellforge and Bravery. And if you split the party in two (or three if a group of two can handle AoE farming) different areas even better.

I get annoyed by people, but I still like the game. I don't let some person ruin my experience to the extent I would stop playing the game entirely. I'll just move on afterwards. I'll be back in there presently trying to find another farm. I need gil for my glamours. I do not craft, this is one of the best ways for me to make several million a day! Maybe I'll be able to afford a house one day! Whether or not I will actually be able to find a house to buy, that's another story.

That person last night did not want to farm like this, they had a "new way", nobody in the party knew what he was talking about, the other tank didn't know what the first one was demanding, and the result was this tank seemingly griefing our players, and causing many deaths. The party was not happy with this, I left when I realized what was going on - the party was in shambles.

I know you should have bloodsucker essence on tanks. Not every tank is going to have bloodsucker though, and people shouldn't expect bloodsucker to automatically mean they don't need heals. For that matter, you cannot go into Borzja and just expect random tanks to have this essence. You adjust the party for what you get. I am not the type to leave people out, because they do not have a certain essence or aren't comfortable playing a certain class. I can fill whatever role that is needed. I accept any level into my farms, and I will personally move down to zone 1 so they can farm too.

There are many different ways to farm, one is splitting multiple zones. However, there are many factors involved. I can account for player habits, and I know exactly what goes down. For example, you try to have someone tank zone 2, with 1 tank (no bloodsucker), 1 heal, 1 dps. Unless they are a tank that knows what they are doing, and or there is a healer that is actually paying attention, the tank will be dying constantly. EVEN when there are 4 people there the tank can be dying constantly. I have had to micromanage pug tanks, and if they want, I show them routes, or how to safely farm. Sometimes I tank instead (w/o essence - I have used it all), so that everyone is comfortable, and nobody else is dying. No, I do not call anyone out if they cannot handle certain areas. There are enough alternative locations, that everyone can farm easily, and happily. Optimally, we never get into a situation where anyone is ever dying. If one area doesn't work out, we move on.

Starting out:
Oh gosh o hecc I hope I'm not too much of a detrimint being a newbie to this I hope I'm doing everything optimally and up to snuff

Now:
You're all expendable and just tools to my next level up on one of myriads of alt jobs, I'll do the bare essentials to make us not wipe and I'll probably alt tab mid-pull to talk with my friends or click a new youtube vid. Content is so neutered and ez mode outside of savage I can go entire chain pulls off of regen alone. I don't care if you're new, just go run into that pack so we can get this over with and I can go back to requeuing
