(b) did you try to help them help YOU? Calling them a "cretin" here is not going to help.

What a strange response to this story. A Sage putting their heal on themselves, watching the tank die, and then using their entire kit only on themselves is a troll.

If what defines someone as a striker is that they're on strike from (i.e., refusing to use) matchmaking, why would you think a player you got through matchmaking was a striker?

This is like going to a senior home expecting to find only children and complaining about its residents as said children.

A) how do you know that the healers you ran with were strikers? (b) did you try to help them help YOU? Calling them a "cretin" here is not going to help.

A.) I don't, but how do you know they were not? B.) What I wrote was not a hyperbole and it definitely wasn't someone new trying to figure out how to play, it was 100% intentional griefing. What can I even do there to help them to help me?

I apologize for the existence of these types, but I REFUSE to take responsibility for them. thats their failure.... not mine, nor, as far as I am aware without knowing who they were, the responsibility of any healers actually participating

And you shouldn't take responsibility for their actions! It's all good, there are plenty of cool healers out there. I try my best to do all I can when I queue as one. It's just a shame that there is a section of players who would intentionally make simple runs that much more difficult, be it under the guise of the strike or not.

Unfortunately there are just some griefers in this game, and healers have tools to grief harder than the other roles. For example, a couple weeks ago while tanking when I got a Tankbuster a bored healer pulled me into everyone else with Rescue. The timing was intentional.

Witholding healing as purposely and obvious as this person is also griefing.

Unfortunately we have some players like the person above who honestly believe that this person was learning (lol), as though if you played enough to unlock sage you wouldn't know that the tank should be healed.

What a ridiculous response to this story. A Sage putting their heal on themselves, watching the tank die, and then using their entire kit only on themselves is a troll.

Excuse me, but YOUR response is ridiculous. What I clearly said is that it was useless to post here that the people in your party are "cretins". If you encounter behaviour that isn't helping you, you have 4 choices- help the person (if you can) , put up with it, leave, or kick them.

Personally I would prefer to try to help someone before choosing the other options, as I have benefited personally from other players helping me (and I'm sure will do so in future) , but you do you.

That person was a cretin. Why should we coddle griefers like this? It's what results in people playing terribly and no one being able to say a thing about it. Sorry not sorry.

There are plenty of people who are unhappy with the current state of the healer jobs, partake in the strike discussions but also queue into duties as healer. Some of them to cut the insane DPS queue times, some to do stupid shit because "the game doesn't need healers and it's ez anyway so it's whatever lmao." It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. We can't control everyone taking part in this or sharing the sentiment to act the same way.

Then do tell; How could have I helped a person intentionally griefing?

You have got to be kidding, "healers have tools to grief harder than the other roles", this is coming from someone with a tank at level 90? I mean this discussion is pointless, anyone can come up with stories, but that is just wrong.

Tank's can't rescue tankbusters into an entire raid. Can they manually try to run into the raid? Sure. I mean you can just move away from them. But they can't yank other people into deaths, against their will, like Rescue can. I've seen Rescue used to troll more than any other instance of trolling in this game.

Tanks can what....just not use their stance? That may work once before the dps and ehaler just wait for them to turn it on.

Do tell, how many years have you been playing this game? How many parties have you joined? Here are some helpful options if you haven't found them yet https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game_...ght%20players.
