Rude Welcoming.

Pray tell us, what is so ironic about this thread?

Is your whole family gathered around the pc reading this thread? I noticed you used "us" instead of me.

The problem with some people is that they expect everyone to be pro on the duty finder. When you que using the duty finder you're not always going to get people who know the fights in and out, some people won't know them at all. These are the risks when you're pugging stuff. If someone wants a perfect group they're going to have to put one together on their own.

You just have to learn to take the bad with the good and not take anything to heart....I used DF for Brayflox two nights ago and wanted to chop my head off cuz I had the worst WAR on the planet tanking...let the NM sit in the poison the ENTIRE time after repeated attempts to tell him to move the mob and he got nailed easily 8/10 AoEs so being the WHM i was getting frustrated after our third wipe....so i told him he sucked re queued and found a PLD that was a boss and went 1/1.

You can report harassment in game. That sort of language is seriously unacceptable. I don't care if people just say to ignore them, they should not be talking to other people that way. Report them.

So I enter a hard mode ifrit fight, which is easy, but the other healer kept healing with cleric stance and only used cure once in awhile and would stop it if he thought i was healing the person he was, while I did the heavy work.

I just have to say i find this funny, if it was really that easy, it wouldn't have mattered what the other healer did, and you wouldn't have wiped. Unless my definition of easy is different than yours. Oh well. /shrug.



Sounds similar to what i experienced in Sunken Temple, never been there before, and we wipe on first boss. Tank asks me if i've ever been there before, and i say "No". He then goes off and among other things says that's "Sad." (how do i go from never being there before to being there without first going??) and how i "need tactics", which no one explains until we wipe again. Granted, they then explained them wrong (saying to not kill the adds, when we needed to, and explaining the debuff wrong). That was probably the worst run, with the best ones where no one in the party knew what to do, and even with many, many wipes we beat it. (Titan, had to basically die to things to learn what happens, and one kept getting hit even though he was clear of aoe, lag?)

So out of a all my runs, only one terrible experience, and a couple where everyone dropped for whatever reason. Most went great with people being patient. End game i'm sure is different as they are probably going to get sick of the gear grind, but so far i've had good experiences. Only people i've blacklisted are those gold spammers, ugh. They need to make that better. Already up to 20. :\

Compared to my WoW experience, i'm more happy here, as most there were basically quiet runs. Fast runs with no one saying a word, unless it's go, go, go!

There are people out there with certain expectations for end game content as far as personality or attitude and people forget that just because you may come from a hardcore guild in your previous mmo (ie; lineage/guildwars/*insert korean grinding fest mmo) that this is final fantasy and the community is going to be generally more casual attitude and/or RP friendly atmosphere. I say this because I originally came from the sort of game where bashing noobs was like a norm and if you spend years playing that sort of game I imagine some people forget how to communicate with normal mmo players lol. I was never an asshole personally but had plenty of guildies who were that way (having been in the most powerful guild on my server) and i'm used to seeing situations where 1 guild can control both the economy and the gear in an entire server. Ofcourse eventually i got a life and i look back to those days like wtf was wrong with us lol. I bet you probably ran into people like that.

[Ryokyu]

the game is so easy i dont understand how people are having trouble in anything even for new players this game is a joke shouldnt been having trouble in completing anything
also if people talking bad about you just leave u dont need to stay there do u? just click duty finder again after 15min and you got a new team?? not hard everything is hand it to you. you can do anything you want quit or stay

[Kuvu]

OP's post is an issue of the DF. With out the DF we would be finding groups on our own servers and stuff like this would be a minority but with the DF there is no need to worry about how people will interact with out on your home server because of your behavior.

I feel the DF breaks a community more then it helps it (cross server filling slots) if it was only your server issues like this wouldnt be as pronounced.

Nobody really looks for a group with the DF going so there is no real community built.

Don't listen to people telling you to delete the thread, there is nothing wrong with you creating this thread.

It strikes me as unnecessary drama, particularly the way it was approached. She berated a group of people not present to say their side, posted a carefully beneficial to her excerpt from what was undoubtedly a longer conversation, and exclaimed how great she was and how much they stunk, while she was entirely innocent.

I'm pretty sure, at the very least, this was poorly went about. There are less antagonistic ways to discuss these issues.

[Sakurai_Koji]

Wow, that's bull. Them I mean. Well I'm not 50 yet, but many in my FC are and we are on the same server as you. You want to do the end game stuff? Hunt down the Lush Knights. One of the Friendliest groups you'll meet, and feel free to add me as well in case you want to run some other things or what not.
