    Players dropping out of dungeons when you don't play their way...

    So last night I finally got to Brayflox! I was stoked to get in and see a new dungeon that was to be more challenging, and what happens.... A Bard wanted to be the boss over our tank, seriously? He was telling the tank to only focus on the mob he marked and leave the rest to the DPS (me). Unless I am mistaken..., a tank is supposed to pull all the mobs. Which makes it easy for me, a monk, to run my rotations. But no... I have to run around like a nut case chasing mobs trying to attack them.
    So after the first boss, the tank doesn't go to the NPC Goblins the exact way the Bard wants.... the SOB ups and rage quits.

    Now grant it, this was my (and the tanks) first go at Brayflox, but we are not complete newbies. The tank, whom I know, is learning to play better and better. I know my role. The healer was great. The Bard, yeah, sorry SOB!

    Sounds like the guy was just a massive douchebag. Sorry to hear that your first time in that dungeon was bad, I quite enjoyed that one myself as a healer. Thankfully I haven't personally seen that many people like that so far in FFXIV so don't think this is the norm, just a random guy who wanted to be a tosser.

    I agree, sounds entirely like Bard player was/is a complete tool. In most cases you are better off without players like that in your group anyway. Hopefully people like him/her will be in the minority and remain that way.

    only leave I had was a healer that didn't heal any of us, so I told her/him to stop being lazy and got the reply "you got no idea how my class is to play so STFU" I then said that I know exactly how to play conjurer since I got a lvl 36 WHM and then he/she left (was in the second instance btw)

    Just want to tell people healing is such an easy as fuck job in early levels.
    That was a lame ass excuse. I play on PS3 and have fun healing 2 people with poison and heal them and all that stuff, it's pretty fun and gives you something new to rather than spam heal.
    Kick the guy and get a new DPS haha.

    @ Above
    It's level 32.

    I had this problem in my first ever dungeon run. Not nice. The poor tank was getting wiped out. Enough eventually became enough and I just had to bail. I didn't want to be that guy, but we weren't getting anywhere and the football had started. It was the tank I really felt for though.

    The only time I get ticked as a WHM in Brayflox is when a tank shows up as a class (MAR/GLD) with lv25 grey gear or lower. They don't tank any better than me at that point with paper armor. Typically they pull, get hate, down to 1/3 life after the first round of hits, I cure, boom I'm tank for rest of the fight. Needless to say bosses go nowhere. When I get tanks like that I kindly ask them to go get their Job counterpart at least, which gives them at the very least more HP, and I swear a hell of an easier time holding hate (internal enmity+?)

    You have people stay in your dungeons long enough to at least be douchebags? Most runs duty finder puts me in have people that just go "oh, no BLM? /leave"

    Which level is Brayflox? Just making sure I have proper gear as a tank before I hit that. I'm still learning, but I want to make sure I get better as I go.

    It is a level 32 dungeon in Limsa Lominsa. I am not sure what the "proper gear" would be, but being a MNK and keeping the highest gear per level I can, I was dealing damage easy enough. My friend tanking was holding mobs well, but this guy was just plain mad cause he couldn't be the boss of the party. You wanna be the shot caller, be a tank! I follow the lead, else peeps be dying a bit quick.
