Yeah, when I ran Brayflox once, the group gave me no respect, although sadly, I was also the only reason they barely scraped through. The healer would do anything but heal, wasting MP on attacks and sleeps that weren't necessary, the tank dying multiple times. The lancer had awful DPS; so awful that he thought the healer's Stone II was amazing and kept insisting the healer to use it, and when the healer at some point complained that it wasn't his fault that people were dying because his MP were running out, the lancer said that he ran nothing but lancer, no other classes for cross-class skills or jobs and that the healer obviously HAD to have something to restore MP outside of Ethers because hey, Lancers get something to restore TP, right? I had nothing to complain about with the tank, the fact that he kept dying was because the healer failed at healing and the lancer could not kill quickly enough.

I was running as BLM on this, mind you. I could have helped things go along more quickly in the DPS department, but no. Our white mage decides to sleep everything at the same time that I sleep it, wasting MP, even though I insisted that I can cover that because BLM has easily replenishable MP and the tank needs those heals. On top of that, I had to waste a lot of time doing extra healing or emergency healing to keep the tank alive. Which wastes up MP because fights take too long because the three of them are poor at damage dealing. It's a catch 22, because if I can't keep the tank alive, we will not make it, and if I can't deal damage, the tank needs more heals.

This goes along the entire dungeon. After skipping multiple chests, two wipes on the final boss mainly because the tank drops dead and we have not dealt enough damage to finish it off, I explicitly tell everybody how to do stuff. Tank needs to pull the boss from the pools, lancer needs to use full combos and proper positioning and use the two-bar Limit Break, healer needs to do nothing but healing the tank because I can cover the heals on us DPS and the healer himself. The lancer uses an emote, "looks at you in disgust", claims it was an accident. We beat the boss with this strategy and the most hectic juggling of dealing DPS and cross-healing people I've ever done in the game, and eke out a victory on the dungeon with only a couple of minutes left on the timer. The three guys thank each other and leave.

No thanks from anybody, speed right out through the gate, no items won from chest rolls, nothing. Yeah, what a great run.
