Calm the f down if I didn’t pull the optimal amount of trash mobs!! I play to have fun, my stats aren’t bleeding edge and my gear may not be absolutely perfect, I know my rotation and my cooldowns and I can get the job done. Sorry this run took 90 seconds longer than the perfect run!

Yup - out of necessity. My friends are very responsibility-adverse!

It's always a headache being in the hotseat. I have to actively avoid playing classes that can tank otherwise people will make me do nothing but.

Yeah, this is the worst. I usually dps, but I never learn anything about dungeons because the rest of the team is just rushing everywhere. I'm glad FFXIV lets you do it all solo.

It is the only MMO where I've played as a role I'm not used to, specifically healer, and had someone message me after a dungeon with very courteous and helpful pointers.

Never had anyone be that nice in wow or even GW2, though in gw there aren't really proper roles, at least not when leveling.

Yea awesome community - when I first started I would put up in chat that I was learning to tank or it was my first run bd people were super patient.

Just the other day i was doing a run as a machinist, noticed the healer was struggling with keeping the tank alive, and asked if we needed to slow down.

We made it through the rest of snowcloak with very little issue and the tank was happy and healthy

The boss fights are the most relaxing part of healing in FF14 because the tanks go crazy on the trash pulls. I'm there thinking we have a good 10 mins before I have to really start paying attention. I have my hand in a bag of chips with the TV on the in background and then tank just runs off through about 4 groups of enemies. I'm left behind thinking "fuuuuuck, I actually have to work".
