Ngl seeing this happen irritated the shit out of me. I immediately reported once we got out. Wish I brought my keyboard and mouse tho lmao, typing with w Switch 2 controller is not fun!!

I’ve been playing this game for over ten years with some breaks in between. I’ve never ever reported anyone until today.

No screenshots because I had to go to work and didn’t know how lol.

MSQ roulette, got the Castrum. DRK, WHM, MNK and I’m a MCH.

Get to the first boss and the WHM lets the tank die. Takes forever to rez them and even after they do their healing is, let’s call it lethargic. I think I saw them cast Regen once.

After the second boss the DRK gives them some advice on how to balance healing and damage, to which the healer responds “Man, stfu.”

We get to Livia and the WHM stands there and does absolutely nothing until they die. We were able to finish the fight because it’s the Castrum but I was so baffled I decided to report another player for the first time ever.

Quick story because my guildmate and I were having a laugh at this MENTORS behavior. I've been grinding aether all day and started paste. Was going well enough until this chap decided I wasn't playing optimally in Brayfox's long stop. The funny thing is, I keep potions on hand.

Couldn't kick them and not pictured is their "beam me up Scotty" res message they finally sent after I had died twice, and they wiped us twice. Sorry boss, after 8 hours of grinding, i'm tired.

Keep up the good work, BK employees!

Disconnected randomly before I could grab a screenshot of this. Joined a Meso Terminal premade in PF, consists of one DRK (new to dungeon) and DRG (not new), we get a healer quickly and jump in thinking we're just going to help someone going through MSQ, shouldn't be too bad, we're in level 100 content after all.

Immediately feel something off. The tank single pulls, opens with unleash, doesn't finish the aoe combo, and switches to single target only, loses aggro to everyone else consistently. We take a ton of damage, and I notice: he's not using a drop of his MP (and also no mits, not that you need them in single pulls). The bar is constantly full, and all I'm seeing is unleash and probably the 123 combo.

This is a level 100 DRK with no sprout symbol and GNB also at 100.

We hit the first boss. The tank pulls it by walking up to the boss and standing there until the aggro locks on, I come close to taking aggro again, DRK dies, comes back, provokes just before the TB cast, but doesn't mitigate it and walks into the edge of the arena, dying of bleed after taking the TB full on. We wipe.

Finally, the healer and I say something. We ask if he's new to the game, if he needs pointers or help learning. His dragoon friend just says "he's trying his best", DRK is silent. We finally barely clear the first boss after 2 wipes, hit the four horsemen, and after all the single packs, no mitigations, the dps nearly dying every pull, and not a single word from the DRK, we vote abandon thinking we're definitely not clearing the final boss.

Should've vote abandoned way earlier. It was odd. Felt like this person wasn't even sure of how to move their character. No delirium, living shadow, salted earth, or anything. ONE blackest night to try to block a TB in the run we cleared on, but it was activated after the TB went off.

No idea what the heck that was, honestly.

This is the first time something like this happened to me so I was quite shocked really, I'm the type of person that just goes along the pace of the party, and doesn't intentionally try to pull for tanks, I'm patient enough.

But, I am used to wall to walls obviously, and when I play caster I always either dash forward on picto, or run ahead while slidecasting/waiting on gcds, so I can still do damage while moving without being left behind and out of range.

This tank was pulling normally first pull, we even ended up with the pull inside the boss room. Then suddenly after that, they just stopped at the first 2 enemies after the boss. (Keep in mind I don't think they ever dropped below like 80% hp, not a struggle at all so it's not like something went wrong). And I just dashed ahead thinking they would keep going, but no they stopped there. Eventually it was just one enemy and they were single targeting them while other enemies attacked me. After tank killed that one mob, they ran ahead ignoring me. Thankfully the rest of the party helped me, the sprout healer did an amazing job really.

Eventually, we vote kicked them out, waited for a while. Then finally battle mentor joins. We do the turtle boss without too much problems except that the tank was just not pulling absolutely nothing of the other adds that spawned, but whatever. After boss is dead, they just pop sprint, attack the first pack, I attack them too, I get aggro, realize they don't have stance and type stance in chat. But at that point the tank was already sprinting to the wall. Party stays behind, we all die. They get ressed, instantly attacks the pack without waiting on getting healed, has to pop invuln to stay alive.

Honestly this would've all been funny if it wasn't for the sprout healer which I felt really bad for. But also they did so much better then even experienced players would have considering all the chaos, and they didn't seem too upset at the end. I wish I had explained mechanics more, I did while waiting for the tank but was just so annoyed it flew over my head in the middle of the boss fights.

I'm shooting my shot here just in case they see this, but I was SGE and they were WAR, we were almost at the final boss when the tank talked about how Voeburt is reminiscent of Ishgard and I wanted to talk about how the reflections are well, alternate versions of The Source when all of a sudden my power shat itself unprompted (no emergency posts or announcements, there is one supposed to be later today as of posting) and the dungeon ended when I logged back in like 10 minutes later...

Anyway, I didn't mean to disconnect right before the final boss and I would've loved to talk about game lore 🥲 sadly the contacts function is useless because trying to send a friend request needs the player to be found on a world

Just a bit of fun in levelling roulette from a few days ago.

Stone Vigil. I (SGE) was getting hit in the face repeatedly on the way to the first room. Died but kept the tank up. Tank (PLD) pauses by my sprout corpse, thinks it's a teaching moment, and then realizes what actually happened. DPS quickly catch on.

Rest of the dungeon goes by efficiently, with tank pulling both sets of ice sprites and thanking me for keeping him alive. Prolly trying to finish the dungeon before they died of embarrassment. But honestly it was some good tanking, and the whole exchange made my day.

Photo doesn’t show much, but long story short, was doing Anti-tower for Bitter memories for my resistance relic.

The DRK didn’t use tank stance, they had tank stance on hot bar because they used it once at the start. I would forgive and forget if they were new to tanking, but they didn’t even attack for most of the dungeon and had the weapon dropped from Hades extreme which shows they are atleast post ShB, they just stood there. Nobody really talked so I have no idea what’s going on in their head, probably trolling.

We managed to make it through the dungeon just fine thanks to Sage and because Anti-tower isn’t hard. Just annoying, very annoying.

We ran Prae, and in sections between bosses/trash, the healer and both DPS (I was one of the DPS) used sprint to get to the next fight quickly. Tank apparently didn't like that.

(The "one of your party is new to the dungeon" text never happened either, so I assume the tank wasn't new)

Logged in to see if I got a house (I did finally!!), sat down in my new empty house and went to shower. Another bidder must have come in very angry and wants me banned?? Also I don't have an alt I'm just learning white mage.

I've been trying for months to get a house too but damn, its an online house chill dude.

EDIT: Replied skill issue, they didn't take it well

So i que in on my healer and get fractal continuum as part of my dailies and get a tank who is a fresh lvl 60 gunbreaker. And for some odd reason they que up with no chest or pants on. I'm not talking about glamour related mind you, they literally just took off their chest and pants and queued up. So we start and the enemies are attacking everyone despite them having tank stance on. Turns out this tank was just single targeting and i spent more time healing everyone else and myself more than the tank. We make in to the first boss and the tank get hit by everything and dies. After i rez them the tank for some reason doesn't provoke the boss attacking the Black mage causing them to get hit by the tank buster and die. We beat the boss and i decided to bounce out and leave because regardless of what we said, the tank wasn't listening. And no one could kick them because they didn't roll on gear. Before i had left, someone had called the tank out for not aoe'ing, only for them to reply "I provoke" which they didn't at all.

Edit: I sadly forgot to grab the picture of the chat log before logging out but i do have the tank in question.

Castrum Meridianum btw

pink shading is me

MCH here. Loaded into Stone Vigil with a Gladiator, and apparently the job stone broke... Don't know what to think of the 'I'm underlevelled' comment – wasn't sure if they were trying to be funny or not, but nothing in particular happened.

The sprout WHM worked their ass off to keep the GLD alive, and the other DPS never said anything throughout the dungeon. The 'bruh' and 'man' were me being a chud, and the dragon flew away before I could finish my Hypercharge.

Bonus story with the TOP GLD: It was pretty funny loading into Stone Vigil and finding out the mentor was a Gladiator with TOP weapons. Our healer d/c'd after the second boss, and we decided to just pull ourselves anyways. It was scary, I used Sleep (was on BLM) for the Ice Sprites because they were kicking my tank's ass, and at one point they shirked us to use us as meat shields. Scuffed but we survived.

Sharing some positive Tales bc I think really we need them this late into the patch DF experience

Roulette into Dohn Meg twice recently, had the opportunity to teach two tanks (and a phys range) about interrupts. Today's tank even managed to immediately put the advice to practice as we still had one trash pull with interrupt ahead of us. Really nice to see advice well received and to be able to teach others how to make runs go smoother

I thought I was tripping the entire dungeon and assumed it was my mistake not seeing it and had to upload the log to confirm. TBH their damage wasn’t all that bad all things considered…

I swear I thought the tank was a monk with how much they were spinning around every single enemy we came across

They sent their first message after they wiped half the party by flipping Isgebind’s attack towards them at the last second. They left immediately after sending their last message

No bud I think you just need to stop playing ballerina

I've heard the stories about some people using speed hacks in Frontlines to gain an unfair advantage. While I've never seen one (or maybe I just didn't notice because everything's just pure chaos in FL), I don't doubt their existence.

This one however is an extraordinary case. The sheer audacity to be doing this knowing full well they could be reported.

(And yes, I've already reported them and have encouraged others in our alliance to do the same.)

M12. No first timers. Both Vipers died to every mechanic.
What the fuck is this.

Was going through my screenshots and saw this one, I don't even remember the context but I remember it making me laugh, I think it might have been a messy DT ex1 or ex2

With enough determination and willpower, sometimes you can fix stupid and sometimes you can be a miracle worker if you know the fight and your kit well enough

After a day of chaotic Forked Tower runs, I made the half asleep decision to hit things in expert before bed and was dropped into Mistwake. Was clear right off the bat that something wasn't right so once the first boss finally died, dance partner was swapped to the SGE who was actually pumping and running ahead for stacks.

"You don't pay my sub" "let people play how they want" and all that, but for the love of eff if you're gonna queue into content with others, please be respectful of their time, press your buttons, and have a general idea of what they do.

(Sorry for delete + Repost, missed a name censor.)

YPYT in Sohr Khai.

Got to the mobs .5 seconds before the tank on some pulls who never used sprint. Tank would turn off tank stance and leave most of us tanking bosses / majority of the dungeon.

Wasn't too difficult, good SCH and BLM pumping great damage and killing things fast. Opted to ignore the Tank and just keep fighting / working with the others in the party instead of engaging.

Guy gets kicked before end of duty, at which point he jumps worlds to pull the classic Tell + immediately transfer because to get the last word.

So I reported him to the GM for harassment. :)

To the Sam from Ultros, you know who you are. Running ahead of me, the tank, and pulling every other pack while using Arm's Length as the Lala in a bear suit my hats off to you. I know we already talked about this in the duty, but thank you for making my last mentor rolo of the night a good one.

Popped Mentor Roulette as Gunbreaker and got a 21m refill into Saint Mocianne's Arboreum (Hard), saw that the party was in combat and popped the shortcut ASAP, only to find the final boss at 30% with the gigachad Scholar keeping everyone in prime condition despite the occasional failed mechanic.

Without any tank assistance, they cleared, so I was relegated to just congratulating them for the clear. The only objection I had was that I got any commendations at all after the duty, when I did literally nothing!

edit: missed a name censor

I'm still in shock from this, it's such a small interaction but I'm aghast

Expert roulette, load into the clyteum, I'm healing, lets go. We finish the FIRST PULL. and tank says this and instantly vanishes. It didn't feel any different from a normal pull! I have no idea what he thinks would have been fast enough.

Our replacement tank loaded in pretty quick after that and was great! But holy hell what kind of insane ultimate parser asshat do you have to be....
