Watch your attitude on the DF or this...

You sir are my hero!

I was be-littled in the Final story line dungeon because I watched the first cut-scene. After I got out some told me I needed to skip cutscenes so we dont time out, I told him I would click fast but first time and honestly they are some cool fucking CS's so I was going to watch them. Then I got told how retarded my name was I got asked if I thought I was cool for leveling Bard first ect ect. I just kept saying "lol" and we finished the dungeon "me watching cutscenes" with an hour to spare. People : /

They actually said that? They give you two hours for that quest, someone could go afk for a half hour and you'd still finish with time to spare.

There are two groups of people in this game: Those that are terrific, and those that are retards, there is no in between.
The majority of the community falls into the first category.
Thus far, I have managed to only see those from the first group (I am quite lucky).

Sorry to hear that you encountered those from the second group that I mentioned

This same problem happened to me my first time trying to do Ifrit Hard(WHM50)

I don't know if it's just that this first batch of 50s are the hardest of the hardcore and won't accept -any- failure or if this is a glimpse at the future of the endgame PUGs in this game. (I've since joined a FC and they consoled me, because I literally wanted to cry... I know, big dumb baby, blah blah, I was holding out on a FC because several of my FF11 friends play and I was the first to 50 so we hadn't figured out if we were going to do our own FC or just find a good one) I was so berated and insulted for getting hit by his AoEs once or twice it was horrible. I was seriously hurt(I know I should just ignore the jerks but damn) I've yet to try doing it since(this was Saturday)

I never died to the AoEs, I healed myself back up, my MP was fine the whole time, but man they tore me apart. The Paladin accused me of not casting ANYTHING(we were constantly getting through Hellfire so obviously I was curing like I was supposed to.) The problem was we had all melee DPS and they were just dying too much. It's like how I remember WoWs heroics to be except that was like when an expansion was long in and people had all the best gear and just wanted it over. But a week?

I'd just like to remind people that there's another human being on the other side of that avatar so be kind? Try to be lenient on first timers, (nobody ever told me about the charge move, that's what was hitting me) and I understand that grinding it dozens of times to get your weapon sucks don't take it out on the other players... They did nothing to you.

Now I know there are genuinely bad players but most of us just need a little time and experience then we can handle the fights just fine! I don't claim to be the best WHM ever, but other than getting hit occasionally(I use Stoneskin so I'm okay for when it happens) I keep people alive fine and stuff...

Anyway, I got tired of being berated, waiting until the 4 nails dropped(we were using a blm to not wipe there) and I wasted the limit and quit. I felt like shit for doing it but they deserved much worse. :/

I loaded in garuda at a lvl 44 glad with 3k hp and the healer was trash talking me for being under geared... at 44 and having 3k hp is pretty decent but anyway the guy was pure crap for a healer and ended up bailing on us after wiping us 3 times.

[Ryuko]

I support OP's actions. You shouldn't be able to treat people rudely and get away with it.

But, I do have one thing I would have changed about OP's story...

I would have left a bit earlier, maybe around 15%. At 5%, they still could have managed to pull off a win. I would have wanted to make sure they COULDN'T win.

[maniacal1]

I wish I could say I was lying, but people like that get to me pretty badly. I don't group in MMOs anymore as much and prefer the solo route, I stay away from guilds, and stick to DPS roles as they are the easiest to please all due to the negativity that came into MMORPGs when WoW hit mainstream. : /

I don't like that people can get to me like that, but they do.
So basically, OP, good for you. I hope they wiped and cried and you drank their tears like Ambrosia.

Yesterday I attempted the Temple for the first time. (having skipped Brayflox) and right away the healer says "I can already tell this isn't going to go well, tanks still wearing lv 20 gear" Sure enough I was, more liek some 28, some 20, etc... so the healer takes off. I say "Man, what a jerk!" and then one of the dps guys says he was worried and I really should have lv 30 gear. Now i didn't know at the time that I skipped Brayflox, as the temple became available to me before I hit that part in the story. So I said let's try anyway. Guess what happened. Not only did I successfully tank the whole dang dungeon, but I also got key upgrades to 5 of my armor slots while I did it. Give your tanks a chance! (P.S: now I'm a pro at the temple and tanked brayflox in one try) im on a rollll . See you in game?

I agree with an earlier sentiment that there are two groups of players: Those that are awesome or have the potential to be awesome and those who suck and will always suck. My first ARR Garuda Hard victory came from a duty finder pickup group where we had to teach half the people the fight, and about nine wipes later, we won. Nobody was salty about the wipes at all, because we got closer each and every time.

I move on to Titan, in the exact same gear I just beast tanked Garuda in, and the first thing I hear is "lol ur gear sucks. quit trying to use duty finder for a group to carry you.". This, of course, coming from a tank in full darklight and Ifrit's sword whom then proceeded to get the group killed by tanking Titan in the middle of the arena and turning him towards the mages.

Gear doesn't make the player people. You'll find good, under-geared players and shitty beast-geared players.

its the legacy players and the no lifers, just wait untill normal people progress that far
