I’ve had it up to here with people pulling bosses early in raids. It seems it is no longer possible to have a smooth run, with people doing their roles properly without ignoring strategies and mechanics. What’s with a NIN always darting ahead, pulling bosses without asking for confirmation and without ANYONE using a Ready Check. (On other runs, sometimes someone uses a Ready Check, but some other freak in the alliance would ignore the Ready Check and would pull anyway. UGH!)
Early pull not only disrupts the flow of the battle, but also makes it much more difficult for people to get in position and execute their job role properly. Enmity flies everywhere because the puller wasn’t a tank, and it made it hard to reposition the boss after it’s been chasing people everywhere. Not to mention that it locked people outside of the room!!!! And for some runs, missing 1 or 2 persons could make the party (or whole alliance) struggle already. Countless times had I been in a wipe that was caused by impatient puller locking people out and failing DPS check phase. And it is not nice (or rather upsetting) to witness some idiots trying to save 30 seconds by early pulling bosses and ending up wasting 3-5 minutes because of a wipe and walking back to reattempt it. =_=;;
This kind of person and behavior really makes raid run become a suffer instead of a fun. It is toxic environment. I wish for smoother runs and more friendly alliance, not something with such a big mess of brute force people ignoring party role and strategies like this. (And yes I did report the person, in case you’re wondering if I’m just ranting here uselessly.)
With such a run, where people are uncooperative, I feel like it consumes 3 times as much of my life energy and my will power than normal. It’s a nightmare. It makes me hate DF. It makes me hate strangers. Sometimes I really don’t wonder why I avoid Roulette and Duty Finder completely….
To keep my sanity, I must develop a new skill. Like, “I Give Zero Fuck” skill, and just heal my team without thinking. Just stop feeling anything and do it like a programmed robot. There are too many freaks out there who would play the game however they like while ignoring team work and strategies. It is unhealthy to get worked up every time I run into one, because it is highly likely that I WILL run into them every day or every other day.
It’s so tiring, and not fun AT ALL.
Sometimes I’m so mad I wish some lightning strike would zap near the person’s house and knock out his or her internet, so that the raid (or I) will be rid of a nuisance. GAH GAH GAH. So much hatred today. Why can’t these freaks weed themselves out? It’s always us who play by the rules who eventually get annoyed or tired enough to quit or flee from the mess. Why is being disruptive and uncooperative becoming the norm? Why are people putting up with such misbehavior? Why can’t those freaks be nice and stop causing trouble to others?
Ugh I’m rambling off. Better go tend to my garden and stop dwelling on it. Let’s focus on doing stuff that keeps me happy instead of getting upset at useless and unimportant people. :'(
