My Failed Pharos Attempt

My 5th Attempt at Pharos Sirius. (Failed)

This might be considered a rant, but it’s not a rant against people or player, but about my own failure.

Today my lv. 50 Duty Roulette decided to be mean to me and sent me to Pharos Sirius again. Let’s see, 1st time to 4th time, I was in there as a WHM. Today I got confident in using my Scholar, as I did well in Praetorium as a secondary healer, and I wanted to practice more SCH, so I hit lv. 50 Roulette with SCH. And yeah, it threw me inside Pharos Sirius again. How brutal!!! T.T

ffxiv_01052014_221535s

Brief review of my previous Pharos runs,
1st – Didn’t get past first boss (the pirate) but I learned about the stacking debuff and the explosion. Kept dying, pretty much because we couldn’t dodge well while dealing with adds until tank and bard bailed.

2nd –  Got in as a replacement when party was at Siren. Wiped once, then router died. Got so mad ; ; Sorry, strangers. Terribly sorry.

3rd – All members are quite new to Pharos. Great party. They were willing to communicate and to keep trying. Here, I finally learned that not only boss AoE attacks that give debuff, but the dog’s attack also does it! Wiped once, then won. Got to Zu, but kept dying until bard had to leave the house. Got a replacement bard who knew the fight and educated us to kill only the hatching eggs. Still wiped. New bard bailed. Disbanded.

4th – Got in as a replacement during first boss. Party didn’t communicate but they seemed to know the fight. However, the adds (dogs) swarmed around me and ate me. Was going to retry but bard bailed. BLM commented that the bard wasn’t helping to kill the adds and just left like it was our fault. LOL. Tank said sorry, last try, then we got a new bard, but we still died. So everyone disbanded.

Today we got in and the tank named Snow Winter was being honest and said it’s his first time in Pharos. Someone immediately left, so we had tank, me, and Zambari Amari (BLM) when Fureya Jhamei (BRD) joined as a replacement. I am naming them here in hope that they will see this entry and hear my apology. T.T

This team got to Zu, and nobody knew the true trick of the fight. That is, to kill the hatching eggs but NOT ALL of them. So, I’ve been shooting the damn eggs when they were threatening to hatch, and the Zu got enraged and used stun AoE that’s brutal on me (and anyone near me) then used wing attack AoE to kill the back-row people. I am so sorry I made you guys die multiple times.

Zambari had enough deaths, so this BLM left and we got Misha Lune, a very patient BLM who stuck with us until the very end. I can’t remember when, but the bard also left, and we got a Summoner named Cyber Impact as a replacement. I was killing the eggs in this round, too. So Misha spoke up and said to leave eggs to him/her, otherwise the Zu kill us. Misha kindly explained that killing the eggs will stack buff on the boss. So, eventually, we won and it realized it was ME who’s been making us fail repeatedly at Zu!!!!

So, sorry again, Fureya and Zambari. It was all my fault.

Then, we got to 3rd boss, which was pretty quick and easy. Misha announce the strategy which cracked me up XD “(Misha Lune) ok here burn the boss fast before healer dies” and then explained that I will have to kite all the adds while party kill boss. But in reality, I couldn’t attract the adds, so Snow got them all, but they killed the boss very fast and without any problem.

Then, the damned lady of the ocean, Siren, was our roadblock. We kept trying until SMN had enough of it (sorry, Cyber T.T I kept screwing it up by getting caught by the crawling zombies). Then in the last 10 minutes of the timer, we got a bard named Swift Claw as a replacement. I learned JUST NOW that to dodge the AoE charm, we hide under Siren. I’ve been running away and hugging the room’s wall to avoid it (my dodge failed once and succeeded twice) because Misha screamed that the tank must also hide UNDER Siren, or face the charm spell.

However, when she picked one random target to charm, if it was me or the tank, I always failed to heal up. Damn me. I got so mad at my lousy skill at playing SCH. I even had the help in curing from my faerie, Eos. Yet I still failed to top up my own HP or tank’s HP when charm landed. So, of course, we wiped twice and that’s it, out of time.

I want to say sorry to all these people, Snow Winter, Misha Lune, Swift Claw, Cyber Impact, Zambari Amari, and Fureya Jhamei. And special thanks for Snow and Misha for the patience to stick it out to the end. Also thanks to Swift Claw for being energetic and positive even when we were running out of time. Again, thanks Misha for teaching me a lot of things to watch out for on each boss fight. As for me, I still am not confident enough in my SCH to say I will beat Pharos the next try. L Lots more to practice. I always have my faerie on auto mode. People said it’s better to manually control the faerie for MP conservation. Yep, I always have MP issue. SO I think that’s where I need to practice. ><;;

 

 

Cure Spam In Town

2 Comments

One thing that gets on my nerves is that some people like to spam skill or spam spell in the city. It’s so annoying, especially when you are crafting and is bound on the floor, while the person decides to stand near you or in the sound effect range of you and spam skill like their button is haunted. Just right now, for what the hell ever reason, there is a Lalafell Scholar who came to stand near me and is spamming cure using their Eos faerie. It’s been continuing on and on for 10 minutes now. I got up and moved away from the person to decrease the noise but it’s sooooooooooooooo annoying even at a distance. :(

People, if you want to spam your skill or your spell for whatever freaking reason, at least please don’t do it beside a crafter’s ear!!!!! Come on. Have some consideration. :(

 

Connection Lost (Rant)

So I just got home and logged on, trying to do Duty Roulette for extra 40 M Tomes. I got into Pharos as a replacement, the party was at last boss. We went in and wiped once, while we were running back to the boss room, my freaking Wireless Signal died on me and I got kicked off the server. By the time I got back into the server, all 3 members already left. Time was about 6 mins left. T.T I thought I could try to be useful in Pharos for once….but nope, stupid router had to ruin my day.

Well, it was my 2nd time in Pharos, and on the first time (my yesterday’s roulette) we didn’t even beat the first boss. Not sure if 6 mins was enough for last boss or not, but I feel very sorry to those 3 people. :( I’m sorry I gave you false hope of getting a new healer and then crushed that hope when time was running out. I don’t even remember anyone’s name. T.T

The Fish Sense Something Amiss

“The fish sense something amiss. Perhaps it is time to try another location.”

Never had I been madly angry at this message like today before. I don’t mind moving to other spot, sometimes just 3 steps away, to resume my fishing. But….this….this thing happened to me when I was supposed to Mooch.

Fish sense something amiss

I’ve been out there in Northern Thanalan for over an hour, trying to complete my fishing log and fish guide. This Alligator Garfish is the last fish I need to complete everything in Thanalan region for me. And it needs Mooching from Common Sculpin. Previous round, I was fishing with Glowworm, then I thought I might be able to land more Common Sculpin if I change to a lure, so I went back to town and crafted some Streamers.

This round, I’ve been getting 9 NQ (normal-quality) Common Sculpin as well as plenty other fish, and had been made to move to fish elsewhere by the anti-bot system a few times, as I got up from my chair to do other stuff at times. This time, though, I was sitting right here at my PC, and was just typing something in the chat, when I saw something bites, I immediately hit ESC to cancel chat input, and hit Hook. There, I finally got a HQ Common Sculpin, so I tried to Mooch. To my surprise, and dismay, I was forced to put away my rod. T.T

BUMMER!!!

Main Scenario Quest Rant – WHY!

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

*WARNING: Spoilers of feelings for lv 46 main scenario quest. Though I am not saying what happened, I’m talking about how I feel, and that might spark a hunch for some people.*

ffxiv_11182013_141356s

I just finished level 46 main scenario quest from Castrum Centri and I am extremely upset by the turn of event. I was screaming No no no no NO NO NONONONONO! WHY!!?! This cannot be! Why, SE, WHYYYYY!?

First, I was mad that we left the thing behind when we escaped, and then shortly after, the cutscene showed something that broke my heart. That’s Thal’s balls! Balls!!! Nophica’s teat, and Byregot’s beard! RAWR!!! /cry /fume /disappointed

And as Aganbold of camp Revenant’s Toll would curse, “Ooowww, swivin’ sons of─! Seven hells for seven brothers, that hurts like a troll marryin’ my daughter!” This is pretty close to what I’m feeling right now.

But I don’t give up my hope yet. I suspect a foul play. It seems too deliberate that we would discover this at such time and in that split second. As pathetic as it sounds, I am clinging onto this thin hope that it is not what the story wants us to believe. T.T Nu nu nu nu nu! At least I, for one, don’t want to believe it.

Fleece Farming, Again

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Suppose there are 8 Karakuls at a farm, and you get there when it had no one else. You start killing them one by one. Suppose you can kill as many as 4 Karakuls before they start to repop. You may find any of these situations when someone else arrives:

– They kill the other 4 Karakuls in each round of respawn cycle without even trying to snatch your half of the mobs.

– They leave after killing a few Karakuls, for whatever reason.

– They obviously intentionally leave because they don’t want to seem like asshole.

– They try to compete by trying to claim Karakuls as fast as they can, as  many as they can, even the one that pops right on your character.

– They try to compete by claiming as many Karakuls as they can, plus trying exceptionally hard to not letting you get ANY of the Karakuls.

I have experienced all of these, either when I farmed Karakuls as WHM50 and as ACN/SMN 38 to 41. People are indeed interesting. ^_^

Karakul Claim War

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

I never liked Fleece farming because it’s highly competitive. I used to farm it once or twice so that I have materials for some clothes (or some LQ items). It is overcamped most of the time, and you can’t expect hospitality from your competitor, even if you are level 37 and they are level 50.

Why would I farm the Karakul using my level 37 class? Well, yesterday I needed to get my Arcanist to level 38 in order to proceed through the main scenario quest. I was stuck on “Road to Redemption” where it requires level 38 in order to claim reward. So I went around the area, getting every sidequest I could. Most sidequests that pop there at the time were level 36, 37, and 38.

There was one sidequest at Coerthas that pitched me against greedy fleece farmer right outside of Camp Dragonhead. Quest name was “Sheep to the Slaughter” and it requires killing 6 Ornery Karakuls (thanks the Twelve that key items have like 100% drop rate, so they will always drop after each kill, otherwise I would be pulling my hair, or someone else’s hair, out from more frustration).

It was a fierce claim war. After killing 2 sheep easily without competition, I was suddenly always outclaimed by the SMN’s summon’s spell, because Garuda Egi has epic long range and speed, as I’ve observed. And while some people kill the sheep one by one, this person would claim one on the ground above, and claim both of the Karakuls on the lower ground as well. I was very upset because if I don’t get the claim and don’t outdamage them, I get no kill credit and earn no key item. So I had to work very very hard in order to accomplish both.

ffxiv_KarakulWar01

After a tough half hour or so (could be shorter, but my frustration might have made it seem much longer than reality) I got the quest done. And after leaving the camp, I remembered to come back again to take a screenshot so I won’t forget their name. =_= I know it’s creepy to do so, but I was so mad at them, because I said in /say that I needed the sheep for sidequest, and yet they still claimed every possible sheep they could without any sympathy. I personally feel it is rude of them to arrive later and barged into my farm, hogging all of the mobs when I NEEDED them for my quest. Some people are inconsiderate.

Then, after all the sidequests level 36 and 37, I was still a bit short of leveling up to 38. FATE in the area were nuts, I can’t even see the enemies in FATE, because it is always very crowded and has like 1000 people or so in each FATE. Well, 1000 was maybe exaggeration, but for example, a Croc FATE boss died in 50 seconds after spawning. I merely got there and unmounted my chocobo, and could only land 1 Bio. So EXP sucks in FATE for me in Coerthas.

Anyway, while camping outside of Damp Dragonhead to wait for FATE to pop, I saw another Karakul camp which was empty, so I started killing some more Karakuls, in hope for Fleece as a by-product. A knight in black armor came, I think it was Paladin. And they observed me. After seeing that I could only kill through 3 Karakuls in the area before the first one repops, the person started killing other Karakuls that I never claimed. So we shared the camp by half and half. It was a pleasant farming for a while.

Then, a Bard came and started outclaiming everyone. I put up a fight by speed-claiming with all I got. Virus, Bio, Aero, and Energy Drain. I think I won the claim about 2 out of 3 times (limiting to only 3 Karakuls I was originally killing). I don’t run to compete with the Bard, because that would just give me disadvantage. Then, the Bard started using ability that covers an area on the ground, and it claims the sheep for them even when they ran away to get the other sheep in a far corner.

ffxiv_KarakulWar02

Boy, I was so mad. So I just spam spells on the sheep even when I was outclaimed anyway. And on some of their Karakuls, I still got EXP. Guess it was because I outdamaged them somehow (thanks Carbuncle and chocobo!) Although I hate competition, I didn’t want to just yield my way to them because I felt that I was there first and thus I had the rights of way. Mind you, though, that I understand very well that a roaming monster is a free game. Being there first does not mean you own all the mobs. However, with monsters having such rapid respawn rate, one could easily afford to be kind and share with others without being overly selfish like that. It’s just frustrating that some people have no respect to fellow player at all.

For example, when I was on my White Mage farming Ornery Karakul, I would stop and let other people have some of them if I see that they were below level 40, as I am aware of the sheep quest. They would kill just a few, and then leave, and it never took long. I don’t even have to let them have all of the 6 (or 5?) sheep, I could let them have 2 in each respawn round, as they kill one by one and cannot kill off all sheep in one camp fast enough anyway. After they leave the camp, I can continue being greedy and claim 3 or 4 sheeps at a time again.

For this Bard, however, my plea of needing a few thousand EXP to get me to level 38 for quest requirement fell on deaf ears (or blind eyes). It was one of the reasons why I got persistent and kept competing with them instead of just leaving to kill other mobs. Anyway, the claim war continued for more than half an hour (by rough estimation, because I lost sense of time and the battle of Karakul claiming seemed like forever!) Then, the person suddenly disappeared. So I happily hunted more Karakuls until I leveled up, then left for more sidequests and main story quests.

 

Duty Finder: DPS Not Cooperating

By | |
2 Comments

Again, this is my lengthy rant about some lousy player in random Duty Finder party.

I was unable to write this right after the incident, because I had real life time pressure and had to leave the house shortly after. I was also too furious to organize my thoughts. But now, as I am no longer angry about it, I want to write it down in my journal so that people may know, or that person might even stumble upon this entry and see how ridiculous I think they were.

This is a Dragoon person, and I will have no shame in naming them here, as I secretly wish they would find this entry, or that someone who knows them will see it and tell them about it. The name is Lordin Edenfall.

We were in The Wanderer’s Palace to farm some Tomestones, and among the 4 random parties we got, this one was the one where I was most furious about, as the person wasn’t performing horribly out of the lack of knowledge or experience, but purely out of their own rebellion and probably the need to show off and seem superior. They also refused to work as a team and when the tank said something, they had the nerves to reply with an answer that obviously show that they had no intention to cooperate with the party.

First, I noticed Corn (the tank) started using number sign on the mobs, this was because the DRG just attacked whatever they wanted and didn’t assist the tank and other DPS in killing the mobs one by one. However, they continued to disobey the number signs and kept attacking what the hell ever they want, drawing enmity from the monster that tank wasn’t focusing on, and getting their ass kicked. This resulted in my trying so damn hard to keep up with all the cures.

At first I didn’t notice what was going on, I thought he was just one of those lazy DPS who would just stand there and eat AoE attacks instead of dodging them. WRONG. They intentionally take one monster away from the tank and fought solo. I might have drawn enmity from DRG’s mob and got whacked a few times, but I don’t really remember. But I did notice that the DRG’s Stoneskin would disappear very fast after I applied it, and I had to throw Regen and Cure on them very often.

At the skeletons room with a switch, I finally noticed what was going on. I saw the DRG fighting a Skeleton away from the group, taking a lot of damage from it. Then Corn commented on it in Linkshell. Then, while fighting other group of mobs, the DRG did it again. They intentionally attacked the other enemy.

Then, at the last room before Tonberry King, shit kind of hit the fan, and the DRG got chased by Tonberry Stalker because they didn’t group up with us. They ran away, and they returned to join the fight, still attacking the non-focused enemy. Then Corn finally spoke up, trying to be polite and not cursing the hell out of the person, I imagine. He probably didn’t say anything before because the number signs are obvious and most people would have cooperated by following the numbered order, but this person just wouldn’t be a good team member.

(Corn Muffin) patience please
[1]<Corn Muffin> that is not what i wanted to say lol
(Corn Muffin) Defeat this one first!
(Aleczan Knighthill) focus target
(Lordin Edenfall) what?
[1]<Corn Muffin> get me out of this hell hole
(Lordin Edenfall) nah
(Lordin Edenfall) if i focus i lose a ton of dps
(Lordin Edenfall) i wanna rush this dungeon, not babysit it
(Corn Muffin) its ok alec
(Aleczan Knighthill) But you are MP sink because I have to heal you a lot :)

(Lordin Edenfall) omg
(Lordin Edenfall) gl
(Aleczan Knighthill) O_o
[1]<Aleczan Knighthill> He shuts himself out lol?
(Lordin Edenfall) i believe in u guys

What happened here was that the person got locked out of the arena. It was either an accident because they were too busy trying to talk back, or was intentional out of spite. I have no idea which was the cause. So we fought with 3 people, and died because I couldn’t keep up with the cure while spamming Holy.

[1]<Corn Muffin> come to mid and holy
[1]<Corn Muffin> cure
[1]<Corn Muffin> just ignore them
[1]<Corn Muffin> and lets finsih
(Lordin Edenfall) nice try tho
[1]<Corn Muffin> just let em go please
[1]<Corn Muffin> or im gonna explode
[1]<Aleczan Knighthill>  ; ; pat pat
[1]<Corn Muffin> you know what else loses a ton of dps. running your mouth isntead of entering the arena lolol
[1]<Corn Muffin> oh well
[1]<Aleczan Knighthill> lol

Then, we retied with 4 people, and once the boss died, that person spoke again.

(Lordin Edenfall) he died too fast…

I really wanted to say “He died fast because no dumbnut got locked out this try.” But I didn’t want to interact with the person any longer, so I just exited without saying anything.

Furious was I, though. I actually wanted to say more stuff than my “you are MP sink” but there was no time for a lecture in there. I also didn’t have the patience and effort to type too much when angry. But here, I will rant about it.

Quoting, again:

(Lordin Edenfall) if i focus i lose a ton of dps

What kind of lousy excuse is that? I haven’t played level 50 DRG since the big skill revamp in 1.0, so I might wrongly be unaware of any DRG ability that makes you deal more damage when you are being attacked, but the damage output should be about the same even when you attack the same enemy as the tank.

(Lordin Edenfall) i wanna rush this dungeon, not babysit it

This is even more stupid. If you follow proper strategy, like focusing on one target, the enemies die faster, one by one. This does not only make one enemy die faster, but also decreases the burden on the healer, as they don’t need to split their attention to save your ass. You don’t have as high defense as a PLD, so when you get hit, it means more HP for me to cure, and thus I have to spend more MP than I should. This “attacking what the hell ever I want while ignoring the number signs” is not rushing the dungeon, but rather hindering the party.

In the other random party earlier, there was someone among the 2 DPS members who secretly marked the mobs with number. The order was accurate, and everyone focused their attack on them in order. So the mobs died very fast and I had easier time curing, having no extra burden to keep alive, as no one strayed and got their ass kicked. We blew through the dungeon very quickly and without any oh-shit-moment.

However, that was not the case in this party. By the Dragoon’s soloing without having a tank and having their ass kicked by the enemy, I am the one who was babysitting them! It was I who had to cast spells and spend my MP to keep them alive. They were the hindrance. They were my burden.

I repeat: Lordin Edenfall, by not cooperating, you are the hindrance to the party. And that is not rushing us, or you, or anyone, through the dungeon, at all. Brainless brute force might achieve something in some situation, but not where strategy is important like in FFXIV dungeons.

(Additional text, edited to add on 24 OCT 2013)

If your targets were not attacking back, splitting force and defeating them in unorganized and unfocused order will achieve the same result as defeating them one by one. But that is not true in the situation, as all of the enemies were attacking back.

I’m going to write a simple, idiot-proof, explanation here.

If there are 3 enemies, and if you kill 1 enemy within 20 seconds, 3 enemies will take 1 minute to die.

If you focus on 1 enemy and kill it off, from 21st second to the 60th second, you will only have 2 enemies beating on you. Then, if you keep killing one of the two enemies, by the 41st second, you will only have 1 enemy to deal with. There is 3 parts of this battle. First part, lasting 20 seconds, you get bombarded with attacks from ALL 3 enemies. Second part of the fight, however, you will only have 2 enemies trying to kill you. Then last part, the last 20 seconds, will be the easiest, because you are fighting 1-on-1.

On the contrary, if you spread out your attack, after 20 seconds you will still have all 3 enemies whacking on you. On the last part of the fight, you will have 3 enemies, all with only 1/3 HP, still trying to kill you. Then, you kill them off at the same time after 1 minute time ends. But what about your own HP that was taken by the enemies? Of course, you lose much more HP with this strategy.

You might not realize it, because you weren’t the one who took the burden of keeping yourself alive. It was me and my MP. And since your defense is inferior to the real tank, when you tank an enemy on your own, it increases the work load for healer. I HATE YOU FOR THAT.

(End of the additional text)

If I had heard this “babysitting” smartass answer earlier in the run, I would have let them solo the mob as they wanted, and wouldn’t have cared to throw them any Stoneskin, Regen, or Cure. I should have let them die fighting the enemy with wrong order.

Some people are just horrible like this. I need a break from random Duty Finder party for a while, a long while.

Shouts Immaturity

Leave a comment

I’m not angry ranting, but just sharing a part of shout conversation where people amazed me with their ability to be randomly offensive and amused me with how some people talk back to a rude person. But I put this entry in “My Rants” anyway.

In FFXIV, as with anything else on the internet, being somewhat anonymous makes some people feel confident enough to act like an ass. Everyday we can see people talking crap or cursing at each other. Some people just get angry easily, so they curse at others or at things without feeling the need to restrain. Some people are just downright rude and select to be a douchebag without provocation.

Today while mining, I saw a chance to spread the knowledge about the use of <pos> and the map marker it will generate. However, there is this person who doesn’t appreciate the tip and tried to pick a fight with me for no reason. It was offensive and very immature. I was mad at first and secretly wish they would never get a Raise. But they did. Strangely, I didn’t get angry or disappointed that the asshat got a Raise. Probably because some other shouters who made funny comments while arguing with that rude person.

The chat went:

Aphrodite A.: can i get a rev in 15 33 plz
Aleczan K.: If you type <pos > (without space) in your Raise request, it lets people click on the coords and see your location on their map. Will make Raise find you easier. :)
Aphrodite A.: cool story bro
Soul E.: I didn’t know you could clic on the coordinates. Nice tip! Although with the PS3 controller… :-/
Aleczan K.: Someone told me how to do that on PS3, let me look it up.
Aleczan K.: OK he said “On ps3 you can hold L1 and click R3 for mouse. then L2 is left click, R2 is right click.”
Soul E.: Wow, that’s great! Thanks a lot! ^^
Aleczan K.: NP, I’d like people to usa <pos > more to save raiser some headache XD
Soul E.: Well, noq thanks to you probably all people connected in this area know how to do it! :D
Soul E.: *now
Aleczan K.: Someone else taught me (and everyone who read shouts) this thing last week and asked us to help spread the knowledge :)
Soul E.: I, for one, will put that knowledge to good use :D
Soul E.: Thanks agian!
Aleczan K.: My pleasure! Gotta love that cute little green flag.
Aphrodite A.: will pay 500 gil 2 anyone who revs me in 15 33
Aleczan K.: If you use <pos > to make it look like South Shroud (16,19)  I’ll change job from botanist and go for the rescue ^^
Aphrodite A.: Aleczan  go suck my fat cock and shut the fawk up
Aleczan K.: Well, if you don’t want to make people find you easier, then you’re welcome to just lie there and rot ^^
Cameron V.: Ah, the maturity of shouts :/
Aphrodite A.: il play the game how i want 2 dipshit
Aleczan K.: Suit yourself, gentleman. And don’t whine if no one go raise your dead sorry arse ;)
Oblitus A.: dafuq?
Aphrodite A.: 20000 gil says i will be raised ‘
Aphrodite A.: i can just go 2 bed and wake up bet id be raised by then
Cameron V.: It wears off after 1 minute :)
Crosine A.: make it 2 mil and ill come raise you :D
Oblitus A.: The heck is going on?
Aleczan K.: I was trying to be helpful and gave out a tip to make people spot a shouter easier on the map, but someone doesn’t appreciate it. That’s all.
Crosine A.: oh nm ob just idiots that dont want help being immature
Aphrodite A.: u not the boss no 1 gona listen 2 yur sorry ass
Cameron V.: And nobody is going to raise yours :)
Aphrodite A.: eat shit and die bitch i just got raised
Cameron V.: That’s not what I’m into ;(
Oblitus A.: Its the internet first off…lol
Crosine A.: Dear lord aphro he was trying to help you, shut up and lay there
Valliant P.: helping each other is what makes us win the war
Salantis M.: hodor
Crosine A.: unless your aphro in that case we kill our own XD

Not only that these funny people arguing against the rude person made me laugh and quit being mad, but then, someone shouted:
“anybody wanna join fate group? i just kicked aphrodite from it.”

And I was just laughing in front of my keyboard. Seems the person’s rudeness was too much and the leader couldn’t stand it, or maybe the person was also being an annoyance in the party, or the leader felt the need to deliver a punishment for such misbehavior. Hahaha.

Blind Invite, I Hate It.

I was genuinely enraged today by this bloke. In short, I saw him shouting that not enough people are joining FATE party for the sake of more EXP bonus. Some people counter-argued, me included, saying that not everyone are readily available for partying up with random people for various reasons. I stopped arguing because he’s such a waste of time.

Then, while I was harvesting on my Botanist, a FATE popped in my Lush Vegetation Patch area, and this guy sent an invite. =_=;; WTF. I confronted him like in the chatlog screenshot. Then I got royally pissed off. Did he mean that by selecting a target (namely me), he could click on the target and execute the Invite To Party command from the menu without even looking at the target!? What’s more, it is so rude to just spam invite without even looking at the class/job of the person. He invited blindly, yet had the nerves to complain (in shout) about people not joining his party. Just WTF!? If you want people to join your party, show some decency and make some effort, PLEASE. And he said it is not blind invite. Ha!!! *smirks* OK, I will believe him that the invite wasn’t blind, but it’s probably him who is blind.

And yes, I took it personally because it is rude like hell to do what you did. I don’t mean just the invite, but all your actions combined together, that is rude. First, you got mad and shout ranted about people not joining your FATE party. Then, you showed that you just invite whatever that’s in your way. Heck, if there were a Tortoise standing there near your FATE, I bet you would invite it too. I don’t mind partying up with strangers if you share same goal. However, I hate that you can’t spare just 5 secs to look and check if the invitee shares the same goal as you or not. Now, that is incompetent, and also impolite in my opinion. You want people to join your party for your EXP benefits, easy profits eh, yet you do not pay attention to whether they are willing (or available, or eligible, even). How selfish! Self-centered, I would include, for you apparently were blaming people for not wanting to join your party when you yourself do not perform well as a party leader or event organizer. I can’t help but wonder that maybe the real reason why people don’t join your party is that you have been inviting Miner and Botanist (or maybe crafter, haha.)

What’s the most ill-mannered action today was, however, the way you responded to me about your mistake. Instead of admitting that you’ve made a mistake by not checking my class before inviting, you acted like I was at fault for standing there. Excuse me, I was there first, your FATE popped later. And no, I would never send you any message had you not intruded my peace by sending your lousy invite. Also, you insisted that joining FATE is a good thing. NO, your stupid excuse is invalid because I am a Botanist and cannot contribute to nor benefit from FATE. If you want to argue that your inviting people from Disciples of the Land to FATE is not wrong, then stop bitching about people not joining your party. Or simply check before sending your goddamned invite, so that less people will decline it!

RAWR RAWR! OK I am done. All steam is out. And I really hope that the game will return to its normal community (having less morons) soon. This past week had been brutal. The launch always does this. /sigh
