[IMG]Tank was wearing full mage gear.

UF. I feel you. It seems an honest mistake though, did you tell them ?

Yes I did. They walked out without a word. So that honest mistake falls short. Would honestly love of been a fight with an actual tankbuster so I could watch them drop to the floor and question it.

Sigh. Well at least you tried, I guess. I kinda pity them though, they will have a hard time the day they will have a non-patient healer in a dungeon.

It can't be an honest mistake. I'm not being mean or witch hunting.

When you unlock DRK at level 50 you get the Claymore that this DRK is using and 2 pieces of armour. Just hitting recommended gear should equip it, considering it's higher level than what this person is wearing.



You'd literally have to go out of your way to end up in a situation like this as DRK.

Yeah, uh.. I'm not too sure about that. I played a lot of MMORPG, and some people are just... completly lost about the whole gear thing. You know, the kind of people who are able to equip a thing because it's "pretty", and are disappointed when players tell them it's not enough for their level.

But oc, the troll tank is a possibility as well.

I have heard some horror MMOs stories,
one of them stood out, there was this one guy
who literally refused to use certain abilities,
because he deemed them "ugly".( this was in WoW btw)

That just makes them unreasonable morons. I know someone who ran through dungeons like AV with mogstore glam items equiped, and I still think she's an idiot because surely some part of her mind should have told her, "This looks pretty but likely has no stats."

Of course, Square helps to further it. You can get into any duty under level 50 with any gear. iLvl restrictions don't start occurring until level 50 duties like the MSQ roulette ones. Even when the restrictions do start popping up, people like this tend to have the habit of equipping the right side with the highest ilvl items they can cause it's quick but they end up being undergeared anyways. Road to 80 Buff enables it a bit cause it overlevels people enough that they can do that too. Add all of this together with the idiot mentors on Hali openly teaching people to YPYT and shirk "offenders" and yeah... new tanks are going to be a lot of fun during DT.

This is the game where people with no job stones run rampant, we have "Ice Mages" and Paladins who want to play a "sword and shield DPS" with their stance turned off, we have people who skip all dialogue and quest text then act confused about what's going on or what to do, we have folks who have no idea what a Vesper Bay aetheryte ticket is, people who run nothing but Crystal Tower every day but still think you can greed Phlegethon's Ancient Flare when he's at 18% HP, and of course the infamous Burger King crown wearers who seem intent to earn their bad reputation at every opportunity. Almost nothing can surprise me at this point -- we're in a barrel with no bottom.

That said, I can say from experience that the "equip recommended" button can screw you over in pre-50 content. I leveled a Warrior through ARR recently and I noticed several times it tried to put an Intelligence ring on me just because it was a higher item level than what I had on. MAYBE that Dark Knight simply never put on the armor that the unlock quest gave him, and the recommended gear button simply gave him the shoddy mage stuff they had in their armory bag..? They could also just be trolling though, I have definitely seen that as well.

If one wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, its possible their armory chest was full when the unlocked the class. This could lead to the armor being lost. I only say the armor, because you need a sword to equip the class at all so they either had room for a weapon or made room. Maybe they even left that duty embarassed and fixed their gear afterwards! That is, if one wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. More likely an idiot or a troll then an accident though.

[Jettinson]

Honestly i tend to be very patient on new players in ARR dungeons but seeing a DRK that had lower HP than me (with only 2 equipped tank gear, rest empty) as a healer and a single auto from a mob would hit him almost half... yeah I am not going to bother, sorry.
