Second time now in a PF group I get someone who needs on an item they are supposed to greed against me.

I gotta really stop joining greed only parties...

I've seen multiple BRDs just ballad at the start and every time they get mp to do so, which is retarded 99.9% of the time. I use ballad so rarely it's crazy, almost always using Foe's, unless we have no casters obv, ofc then I see other BRDs use Foe's fulltime, when we have no casters.

90% of the time I hit ballad is it's Turn 5(and at this point it's probably more for LB then MP cause our healers rock) or a healer died during an Ex Primal.

I'm not defending idiot Bards that specifically full-time Mage's Ballad or start with it at all. I'm just saying, it's a complete fucking toss-up what a group of 7 other morons are going to throw a fit about regarding songs... most of the time it's healers whining because they're low on MP halfway through a fight because no one knows how to dodge anything.

Again, while I know when and where to put up ballad or requiem, sometimes I just shut up the morons by putting up what's requested and roll my eyes.

Yeah greed party can be dangerous for ninja lotter

Especially if someone who is suppose to greed wants a drop for the job he's on atm

**Lokus** · 2014-02-02 09:29

Had that happen recently as well. BRD came and said he wanted to greed Fending bracelet from Ifrit. Rolled need on the aiming bracelet that dropped and then left. Someone on the OF asked if we could set our own loot rules for a party, like getting rid of the Need option and the only options available would be Greed or Pass. Course, the fire of the OF came down on him for suggesting that.

Doing roulette from yesterday because reasons, I get Thousand Maws. I proceed to get requested to drive my sister to her babysitting job this morning. Tell pt I need 5-ish minutes(back in about 7), and I get fucking reamed out by a DPS who is pissed and calls me an "idiot tank" for going AFK during a dungeon.

Some people need to see the fucking outside world once in a while.

**Meph** · 2014-02-02 10:13

if you're the tank you have insta-queue anyway, drop out and let them get a new one.

It's always by "accident" too. Had one do that the other night and he /tell me a few minutes later that he was sorry and had also accidentally left the party.

Fortunately for the others rolling on that ring he had the highest number regardless, but still a shitty thing to do.

It was a win group rather than farm anyway, but people still make you set greed rules in win groups these days too which is a pain to set up for one win. Just going to save myself the hassle next time and state need rules in the comment.

Also those fucking PF groups that have a comment that translates to "This is a greed party, except for me who gets to need on my loot!". They of course butter it up by saying the loot is "reserved". People actually join them too, which is the annoying bit because it takes people away from groups formed by decent people.

If you had to spend 30+ mins in queue you might not be so amused either.

Does 'Titan EX' farming (I put in quotes cuz pugs cannot do Titan EX

Setup is PLD X2 WHM X2 MNK(me) DRG, BRD BLM

OT ask us to 100% kill 1 add before killing the 2nd one (makes me worried but w/e)

DPS is awsome get to heart phase and break it np and comes the Adds phase

OT takes them correctly and we kill the first add before the first bombs explode, but it's fine cuz tank is at the 2nd set of bomb, so we get there (2nd add is still 90% cuz no body hit it, before the first one is dead) while me and DRG are in the middle of the "lava pool"

Tank does not move and eat the 2nd set of bomb while me + drg gets blown up and die due to the laval pool dmg

Start asking the OT why he didn't move after first bomb explode, told me to go eat a dick and if i'm sad cuz i die to be like a normal player and play a real DPS which doesn't require movement aka a range player.

These people sigh

Not saying that tank wasn't an idiot, but if the death puddle was such that it made the regular path for dodging risky/impossible, should have tried to relocate. Situational awareness and all that.

People always try to kill both goaler at same place so you have like "1 pool" only

If me and the drg ran away I doubt the brd and the blm would've killed the last jailer before thetered

That's actually why I prefer equal damage on both targets, somewhat annoying when the second gaoler is taken care of with quite a delay after the first one.

**Obsidian** · 2014-02-02 18:06

Our melee DPS always stand with the group for bomb-slides, then run back out after Weights. If your two options are stand in the sludge and die or move away and DPS Titan or something, I don't see why you would just stand there in the sludge and then be shocked when you die. I don't see the point in killing one before the other on purpose (maybe he doesn't want to deal with two landslides?) but I also don't see the point in intentionally killing yourself.

**Sephiroth** · 2014-02-02 18:30

The tank was clearly worried he'd lose hate on one of them if people were killing them both at the same time. This suggests lack of experience. It's best to kill the adds as soon as possible and with a BLM in the group they die fast. But stop that BLM using Flare and you'll kill DPS on both of them.

You have to remember that a lot of people join farm/weekly clear groups who haven't yet beaten it, trying to sneak in a win. That's fine if they're good enough and not going to hold the group back, problem is many aren't good enough.

**Niiro** · 2014-02-02 19:56

Anyone else think it's bullshit that the game still auto-logs you when you're in the DF -_-

Don't forget to throw up rain of death so the healers can land their dots in coil with their low accuracy.

The amount of times that I've had healers request ballad when it's already up made me stop questioning my choice to not listen to any requests in pugs.

Although, ballad when the healers have 80%+ mp isn't always bad. I'll do that on fights like Ifrit Ex so that the whm can save shroud for the nail phase because fuck you I'm not singing ballad during nail phase.
