Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

I know it can be funny to troll for those doing the trolling, but if you are going to be disrespectful do it with 24 other people who are in on the joke. It shouldn't be hard just invite the rest of your fraternity.

It can be most difficult for these types to understand that not every time we queue do we wish to Sisyphus the struggle buss up roulette mountain. Ohhhh you know! Some of the time you only wish to give about hmm, 80% of your total power level. You kinda wish to do simple roulette and turn the brain off for some time. You are contributing but not playing at peak perfection.

Nay says Square! We design content so that small group can carry others! You go do this now even if you are experiencing the burn out. What do you mean you will stop queuing? But.. but bodies for the grinder? Skulls for the skull throne! You go carry now!

Placing waymarks most random appears to be new hip meme all the young ones are indulging in. Just put waymarks everywhere and spell out cab with the letters forcing wipe because the sprouts have no fricken clue where to go. As friend said, I am certain after that experience and another 110 quest of ARR grind they are really going to stick around. Totally did not ruin their first time there by being troglodytes nope!

Worry not for the newbie healers kept them alive with utmost confusion. Go ahead, single target in aoe and aoe in single target. The newbie tank will maximize cooldown usage to cover for your lacking deeps whilst silently wondering if they are the problem causing wipes.

No no please, do continue to Netflix and unga bunga your smexy new mechanical keyboard with such fervor that each keystroke shakes the very Earth. Ohhh it is okay that everything is burning down around you. Please forgive the Ninja that just soloed the boss from 20% to dead by themselves, I am certain they wished for that experience.

You can play it your way! We here at Final Fantasy only wish for one whopper of experience for all of our players!

"But we cleared!" the GCBTW cries down from on high. Every victory re-enforces my play style choices after all, because a win is a win. Never you mind that I was carried by someone who only signed up to enjoy game they happen to love. They committed the sin of not playing with full pre-made while the schedule permitted.

They are the main character too! Do not forget it! They are entitled to experience all of the content and you are entitled for wishing that they would treat the team game as team game. Now get out there and carry the stooooopids!

You have killed me

I can not even, I laughed so hard at this it made me feel better. My stomach hurts now. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Small petty story by me.
I ran expert as tank (WAR) a few days ago.
The others are WHM, DNC and SMN.

I do my usual big pull and we kill everything quickly.
Same goes for the adds before the 2nd Boss.
Before the last adds die, i notice that no one opend the chest, so I slowly move towards it with the remaining 2-3 adds.
These adds die and the way to the boss opens.
I walk the remaining yalms to open the chest and when I turn my camera i see the DNC sprinting and dashing towards to the boss and pulling it.
I move (without sprint due to cooldown) to the boss area, turn off tankstance and start my rotation and watch the DNC die.
He also did not get healed, dies get rezzed and we continue as nothing happened.

No one said a word, the DNC opend all chests afterwards and I got a com at the end.

Dancer probably did this so you could get free tele into the boss arena to save time, which you promptly slaughtered them for. Heck is wrong with this community seriously? Hope they reported you and the healer. Maybe perhaps keep the short guy syndrome in check.

DNC probably didn't see me open the chest.
No one complained and everything went on as usual afterwards.

In my eyes it was a fun little moment, that the DNC dashed into the boss in leeroy jankings style and the random WHM had the same idea as me.

Rare situations like this just makes the plain and boring expert dungeons more exciting.
At least I would not be mad when something like this happened to me, i probably would laugh about the absurd situation and then just continue.

Ohhh I am certain you would! Just like you did when you deliberately killed the dancer in a moment of petty rage right? Sure sure, what ever helps you sleep at night.

This what people are doing when they wipe groups and tank bust the party? Is so funny! I kill whole party I waste time we wipe now. Is so funny hahahaha lol xD *winky face emoji*

Change the tone all you wish. You pk'ed the dancer with the healers support (well.. lack of support really). It is not funny it is just sad.

There was no rage or whatever towards the DNC or the group. It was just the unusual situation of a dancer running first into a boss and attacking it while the tank was to far away to do anything, and I just let the situation play out and continued.

Do not compare this situation to someone who wipes a whole group with uninvolved player.
That's defenetly not funny and just a time waste for everyone.

Also, what did the DNC lose due to the death?
His rotation? So should I now always do a 17sec CD as PLD in a dungeon so I can play my rotation correctly?
Time? This 10 sec longer Bossfight in a group who was already quicker then most other groups?

And the players wonder why there are not enough tanks anymore. If someone want to pull in advance of the tank, for example set a dot on the boss, then you have to watch that the tank is also in the range of the boss.

lol idk I've had people dash way ahead to a boss alone whenever I went to get a chest or something. not a big deal tho just pop sprint and go, I don't let them die or anything like that. most people just.. wait.

it's super petty to actively let them die, but it's also whatever lol. you're acting like he murdered in bright daylight, it's not that serious. you're spending more energy on this than the DNC likely getting slightly annoyed at dying tbh
