Considering the scroll is going for quite cheap right now on Primal (11k-26k last I checked) it'll take what, 5 daily roulettes just to buy it if you go as job in need instead of asking at the end of the run as people are opening chests and then dropping that off when you don't win the roll for it?

Also one from a few months ago that a friend went through. Note: they were on brd, play on controller, and rolled Longstop normal. He typically mains SCH. Also note: offending healer has since disappeared from the Lodestone entirely.

This is one about a party finder group rather than a duty finder one, but i need to let this out. i dont have many friends and i dont want to burden the ones i do have with my whining.


i join blue mage groups for garuda and shiva extreme very often. almost once a day. so i'm very acquainted with the fights and patient with teaching people how to do them. they are many players' first synced extreme.

got into a group for shiva and the first thing they tell me is to change to blu (i was drk) so the spell drop was 100%. i'm used to that, so i let them know it only has to be level synced.

we get in and it's the usual fair of people running out of the stack sword, standing in overlapping aoe circles, sliding on the ice floor and into the wall, or being in front of the bow. it's completely fine, though some players do die to the same thing over and over. they implied that they're on voice together, so i didn't feel the need to explain mechanics to them.

a healer-spec'd blu kept turning on mighty guard and i told them to turn it off or i can't keep aggro. they turned it off for about 5 seconds and turned it on, and stole aggro back from me again. after that wipe, they left the instance and changed jobs, resetting our echo.

this repeats a few times, job changes and echo resets included. still lots of deaths. and i'm truly fine with it. i enjoy seeing new players overcome the cryptic mechanics of extreme fights and earning their blue magic.

on our final run together, i messed up towards the end. as shiva dropped the aoe circles on the floor in 5 places, she prepared her stack sword instead of the aoe wand. i wasn't mentally prepared for it, as the last 7 or so runs in a row she did the wand, and i couldn't make it to stack with the group. so i tried to invuln and died. we wiped. they silently left and kicked me immediately.

my single eff-up was enough to make them decide i was the problem when that was the only mistake i'd made over those runs. i have kept my subscription going since i made my account, even when i felt like taking a break, but this alone upset me so much that i've cancelled my sub for the time being and will probably no longer help any blue mage groups in the future.

i don't like being treated like trash when i'm just there to help, and even doing my job right.

To the DNC (and the healers) that partnered with me (MNK) during that rough Copied Factory run a couple of nights ago, I promise that I'm usually a better dance partner than that.

Please forgive me for dashing into the pink balls of pain, for rezzing at the worst possible moments, and for moving too slow out of AOEs.

It was like prom all over again.

Mmmhmm. I think we've all been there before getting balls blasted in our face.

SPeaking of prom that reminds me. I was invited to two different ones that year and me and my date got dressed up to go to both...and ended up going to neither to go see The Hulk in theaters instead.

No. Not the good hulk either.

Was still fun. Man that popcorn was good.

Wait, wait, I'm confused.

There was a good Hulk movie?

Thank you for understanding. Those robots and their balls are vicious.

You went to go see The Hulk twice? ...Yeah, I would have done that, too. My prom was boring and awkward.
