Just when I thought DF couldn't get any worse...

[Vynym]

Not only is it common to put up with a plethora of things when using DF for dungeons, I just experienced something I hadn't seen before to add to the list:

The TANK says: "Ok guys I'll only keep you for a minute or two. I just want the scimitar." He runs ahead, through the dungeon, loots a chest (mind you the rest of us are all still at the beginning b/c he made no attempt to actually pull anything, just death run to this chest he wanted) then says, "Oh darn it wasn't there" and leaves the group.

I stood there dumbfounded, until some tonberrys came rushing back and killed me. Revived. Killed me again, at the entrance! They never de-aggroed. SO not only did the tank abandon for a chest, he didn't get what he wanted, left us without a tank forcing us to que for another, we all had to just lay there dead b/c otherwise we get up and get eaten by tonberrys.

Anyway, anyone else seeing this type of thing?! I couldn't believe it. Well, yes I could, I just didn't want to.

Thats a new one, and that scimitar he wanted for his Relic quest only costs about 6k. Rather cruel for such small change!

Did you report him?

Did you report him?

I don't think you can get reported for something like that sadly.

Sorry to hear that happened to you OP, I'm assuming this is why people were nervous during my first queue in Wanderer's, cause they were expecting me to leave after the second chest. :s

I would say you definitely can get reported for that. Not only is he subverting the purpose of DF and screwing over an entire group (which, if he has done it more than once, could be construed as griefing), he's also exploiting by running past the mobs to get a chest that he is actually required to kill said mobs for. And again- all at the expense of his group.

This is the picture perfect example of something a person can, and should, be reported for.

the thing that you can open chest that is guarded by pack of mobs is wrong..... chest should be locked until you kill them

However, this is far from the worst community ever in an MMO.

when TERA Online gone free to play that was the worst i came across

I reported a troll for something like this the other day, two at that. The response I got was that "there isn't a rule or policy that regards actions player must take to fulfill the role of their job/class." Basically saying there's nothing they can do about it. True that they should be able to be reported for it, but if SE says they can't do a thing about it, what can you do? :/

How is OP supposed to know which server that player originated from?

I just wanted to add that I think this is the worst community I've seen in an mmo (at least one I've played) in ... ever! I hear WoW can be trollish, but I wouldn't know first hand. Didn't seem this bad the brief stint I had there.

Some of you will say: go with fc, go with friends. That aside, assuming I can't, don't want to, or no one is available, DF does happen. I shouldn't be apprehensive about using a tool given to us in game b/c it's filled with....tools. I'm not a tool! (At least I don't think I am!) SO I know there are good people out there that use DF.But I guess we're a minority? I dunno.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this little story. I sincerely hope this isn't a new trend. Tank ques, gets a group in DF, death runs to his favorite chest, does (or ilike in this case does NOT) get what they want, and then abandon the group. If this becomes the new "thing" I'm gonna...um.. well probably do nothing, because what can one do about it? But man, it would suck

Most of WoW's trolls spam trade chat in the starting cities, spam general chat in the Barrens or ERP in goldshire. You get the ocassional douchebag in LFG but even then its mostly "go guy" and your random assortment of...people.

Here if you get so much as one new person who's never done AK before, people will actually leave without saying anything. And that's only for starters. >.>

PS: Someone should start compiling the stereotypes and do a FFXIV version of "how to win at pugs"
