I'd rather stare at my moogle.

Ok so apparently I am that guy. So I haven't been on BLM in quite a while. I think I might go back to it this coming week though. I've been leveling Samurai and Thief lately. Both are currently 59. Been loving playing those jobs and it's nice to have a party sometimes. Although I do enjoy solo company is always nice.

But this party I just had. Wow. Such a horrid party. After 30 minutes I couldn't take it any longer. The party was on SAM by the way. Was a level sync party @ 55. So I get there, wow a lot of dd's here. /sea all party. /Sigh. NIN MNK DRK THF SAM(me) BLM. You have to be kidding me. Ok well it's 4 am I should at least give them a chance. Then I see a PL. Ok fine I guess that explains the one mage a little. A little.

Both the MNK and DRK are /war so I figure they already have a first voke or they would say something. Eh wrong. I proceed to engage and watch the thf trick attack viper bite the NIN for ~50 dmg. What the hell is wrong with people? Does he really think that's helping? So I mention something in party chat and ask if they need first voke. They ignore me. Thf keeps pulling and I continue to watch him TAVB the NIN. Finally after a fight I say, "Stop!".

As soon as I did this the NIN (also party leader, and from what I gathered the PL) Side note. Being a tank and PL same time not a great idea imo unless you are very skilled. Especially not NIN which really needs full focus. Anyway as soon as I said "Stop!" the NIN says 1st provoke SAM. So they weren't ignoring me completely just mostly. Good to know. But after that everything gets a bit better. Except for the fact that even with the THF now SATAVB'ing the NIN, the NIN still loses hate way too easily.

To be honest the THF was trying so I'm not going to take it out on them. Once after we established I would voke first I saw them SATA Hide VB the NIN towards the end of the fight. Which is annoying but I asked for them to save TP for the start of the fight and after that they did.

Still the camp was in the most ridiculous spot, NIN wasn't getting haste from anyone and wasn't keeping shadows up. I finally got fed up with the sub-par exp and asked the party leader(NIN) that it wasn't working out for me and could he please find me a replacement. I got silence back. sent another tell. Nothing. So ok he's dual boxing maybe he missed it. Another tell. Nothing. /stare. Hmmm a tell I guess if you want a reply you need to stare at the person you wish to speak with. Anyway he says ok. So I plan to stick around. THF pulls I voke. Then so does the NIN. Ok so I may have overreacted but it was the final straw. I disbanded and headed back to whitegate. Where I am currently sitting in my mog house seeking.

So yea maybe I overreacted. Or maybe you just had to be in the party to realize how horrid it was. But for me a party in Wajaom with dune syndrome was not going to cut it.

I'd rather stare at my moogle. (Or write in my under used blog)
