Yup yup! About attempting to assist players..

There was a run of Toto-Rak me and my partner went through where the tank chose to wear crafting gear. We confronted them and were told "this is all I have". We offered to craft them gear after the dungeon if they wished, no reply.

Sooooo.. we became curious and inspected their search info only to discover they had all of their crafters leveled to 80 and most of their jobs leveled to 80 as well. We became increasingly suspicious when they seemed to seek out every poison pod in the whole dungeon even the ones in side rooms to run face first into.

Our poor sprouty healer in miscellaneous gear who was there for their first time was being most precious about it. They did not know they were being actively griefed. They were struggling to heal and we wiped but I never once yelled at them. I was actually quite proud that they managed to find time to stone enemies when the tank had.. that on. My ire was for the tank who felt that griefing sprouts in Toto-Rak was acceptable behavior. If they truly did not understand the importance of defensive gear on a tank then something has gone very wrong in FF14.
