Watch your attitude on the DF or this...

2 wrongs don't make a right.... but you know what I approve of this 100000%

I honestly wish you had taken a SS of those people so we all know who to avoid.. i can not stand grouping with people like that..

Kinda want to create a Warrior, I liked how it played in beta.

I hope there was enough life left to wipe them. Did any of them message you after?

As a primary tank comming up through the leveling process, I mostly stick to dungeons/fates/class quests, I REALLY enjoy playing dungeons, and tanking in this game is piss easy compared to age of conan (what with the agro meter and MARKS!!!) I always start the group displaying my chat macros about watching your own agro level, following targets, and not attacking marked slept targets, and it is about 1 out of every 3 groups there is ONE asshat that intentionally goes against what I say. Usually because tanks are so overpowered in this game I can still work through it but sometimes depending on the douchebagery I just apologize to the other two players and leave. However looking at how often this occurs I can say the community is in a good spot from what I am used too.

1 person out of 3 runs is 1 out of 12 people bein a douce. Not bad at all for a MMO (guess the rest of the douchers are all AFK)

Way to stoop to their level OP. Well done.

[madolyn]

that is pretty funny lol.

I don't understand the attitude that a lot of people have in this game. ARR is essentially new to all of us yet people still fall into that mentality that people are supposed to know all encounters right away. Whenever I use the duty finder for something, I ask right away "is this anyone's first time?" and if anybody says yes, then I usually say np and then proceed to explain the boss / primal / layout so they can know what to expect. If we wipe a few times, I generally don't mind. As long as they eventually understand the encounter, that is one more person in the community who can reliably use the duty finder and clear content.

If after several wipes and they do not pay attention or listen to advice, then that is when I get frustrated.


I am a tank too BTW and I support you. There is never any justified reason to demean someone because it is their first time doing something. People forget that we were all noobs at one point.

People forget that we were all noobs at one point.

That's seriously what it all boils down to, when we get right to it. I hate how some people think their shit doesn't stink, because they may have played "so and so" game for "so and so" amount of time, and are "the best at what they do". I love it when somebody like the OP comes in and sticks it to the "holier than thous" of the gaming world.

I finally got to the part where you fight Titan and I had heard from other FC members of how awful it is and how bad it is to that one in the DF. I decided to try it since I wanted to get past it. After waiting about 30mins as a healer, I get in and no one knew the fight but the tank. He just tells us dont get knock off. The blm was getting hit all the time and he was taking so much dmg. After 3 wipes and him yelling at the blm for it, I had figure out the all the moves in the fight. But the tank and blm left.

I then go again with a friend who just unlocked and no one knew the fight. So, I explained it all in detail and we killed Titan with no one dropping below ~85% health. I do not see what is so hard about the fight. It was extremely easy.

I am not paying much attention to people being silly. I've had a copperbell mines run where both dps kept calling me a bad tank, and I know I probably didn't do everything perfectly (I'm relatively new to tanking). I also know that THEY sucked since they did my standart job. a dps does not run in first. a dps does not keep attacking when they have the aggro. a dps does not kite the boss away from the tank.
I'm not perfect, but I'm no idiot. I figure out what I did wrong without people like THAT telling me I suck.
if all else fails I join a good linkshell/free company that loves me on my whitemage or bard, and willing to be patient if I ever decide to 'seriously' tank


but back to the topic and 'idiots'. I tend to be friendly when someone doesn't know what's going on. I usually try to ignore meanies and hope my 'good example' rubs off on them. if it doesn't then I hope I never see them again and they stop playing so they can't be mean to others who get discouraged by their behaviour.

[DivineAyumi]

I do somewhat similar things too when a DPS does not listen to basic mechanics and purposely tries to get everyone killed in a party.

I simply don't heal the person and let him die and continue without issues.

It works best in other MMOs where re-spawning does not take you back to the entrance of the dungeon, but town.
