new trend happening in dungeons

[Spawnie]

ive noticed its been happening alot lately...

ppl join dungeons with duty finder first thing they do is ask if 1st timers?

if theres a first timer in the party they leave instantly.... not a good thing in my opinion = = honestly at some point its every1s first time = = how they gonna learn or know what to do if more ppl start doin it <.<

I've tried this and it's seriously annoying

another current problem is the people that goes afk because they aren't happy with somthing, and then just waits for the party to finish the instance without moving at all

yeah another thing annoys me is if a tank dies once they just leave lol i nvr abandon a dungeon no matter how well or bad its goin ;/

Agreed, 90 minutes win or lose. At a minimum everyone learns at least one point they need to improve on. First time I tanked Haukke Manor we finished with 3 minutes remaining after wiping 6 or 7 times on the last boss, we learned what we had to do and managed to finish, had more fun in that group than any dungeon that I completed in 20 minutes.

thats the way it should b xD i mean whats wrong with takin a dungeon run a little bit slower ppl benefit more from it in the long run lol some ppl r playin classes for the first time so they cant b " pro" instantly it takes time to learn the do's n donts of each class or dungeon lol

There was nothing more rewarding then beating SM Titan with a group that didn't give up after a couple wipes.

Same here, ran it with everyone not knowing a thing about what to do. It was awesome. All the wipes at every new stage, with then saying "Okay, that's what happens then. Let's go again." We finished with about half an hour left, but no one raged, and people actually said it was what they hoped the game would be like, even with all the wipes. So i now laugh at anyone who quits after one death, especially if they mock people for being new to a dungeon.

That was almost the the most fun I have had on this game is the SM Titan. Me and a Black Mage from our FC DF'd for a tank and healer and wiped several times because none of us knew the fight yet. (I like to try fights before I "research" them...if someone just tells me how to do it I don't feel like I am playing) We had some laughs and talked it through and you know what...we ended up doing just fine and it was a total BLAST...we really felt like we accomplished something. Same with Qarn...having issues for many runs failing and then when we finally beat it...it was just so awesome!


It is all about who you are playing with which determines how much fun you will have on the group content. If you play with a bunch of uptight elitist that cannot spare the time for a wipe or 2 because you "must be stupid if you don't have this fight down already" then you will not have much fun. If you play with some reasonable players that understand people need to learn the fight and get use to it then you are more relaxed and not so stressed out that if you make one mistake you will get black listed and never get to party with them again.
I wish everyone would be decent to each other and just chill out sometimes. I ran into some really mean people when my and some of my group were running Qarn and it was just bad....the tank was talking crap the whole time telling the white mage that they must be stupid to die from the curse...and was swearing at her and everything. Me and the Black mage from my FC stood up for the white mage and then we just left that jerk of a player...that is the only time I will quit on a dungeon is when someone is being a complete ass.

Too bad you see this once in a blue moon.
I believe people who ask do this so they can explain things to begin with.

How about beating SM Garuda with a party of first timers, none whom had read guides? That was fun!

As to the OP: I ask this question all the time, but it's not to quit if people say they are new. This information is necessary for most dungeons, because based on the answer I know whether or not I will have to explain every boss encounter to the party I am in. If everyone says they have done the dungeon before, that's awesome, but if not...well time to get typing and to explain the bosses.
