Before I start:

I'm not perfect and don't proclaim myself to be that way.
I have some screen shots that are relevant to this topic but will post them when someone asks. They are shots of the person in question in the gear and some of the annoying things said in chat log. But they probably arent necessary.

Meh this might be a trivial flame but I'm pissed and ppl that know me, it takes alot to get me mad.

So tonight after farming for a while I decide to EXP my PLD. I get an invite from Cloudstrifex (WAR/THF) after about seeking for 2 minutes. So I head to Kazham. He said he had to get some more ppl and that was cool. So while we wait he suggests we kill some mandies to keep from being bored. So we do that. Then he suggests getting a Goblin Smithy. I was skeptical about tanking it with only 4 ppl in the party (including myself), but I say: What hell lets kill one.

Big mistake. But oh well. We start killing the Goblin and it's not really going down fast enough and the mages and myself are running out of MP, so I hit Invincible to give the mages some time to recover whatever then could. So after Invincible goes down I heal myself as much as I can and so do the mages. After I die, Cloudstrifex doesn't voke off the THF and he dies, then when he does voke it he zones it which saves the mages thankfully. So after that we get raised. Some of my LS buddies come and raised us and watched over us for a little bit. After we waited for weakness we sat for about 20 minutes waiting for everyone to come back from AFK to do whatever we had to do and Cloudstrifex goes AFK comes back occasionally to find more ppl but rarely spoke. I was ready to leave at one point cause we were sitting there doing nothing and he wasn't saying about what he was doing, but he managed to get 3 more ppl (the RDM left cause of the down time) and we head to the Yhoator Jungle.

Once in this jungle we start killing. Everything was going fine. The setup was nice: PLD(me), WAR, DRK, WHM, SMN, and BRD (yay).

Only issue I had was that Cloudstrifex kept spaming Provoke when it was clear that I had hate under control. I sent him a tell saying that he didnt have to spam provoke and that I had it under control and he only really had to voke if I lost hate and couldn't voke and it the mob ran off away from the melee. He said he wouldn't spam it anymore. Ok good he's working with me. A few more fights later he keeps on doing it. At that point I just stop caring and just let him feel the consequences but at the same time I didnt wanna let him die either so i would provoke and cure him to get hate back.

During one fight POL decided to crash on me and my PC rebooted itself. I come back about 5 minutes later and replaced me with a MNK. I sent him tells (I wish I saved the brief convo) saying I was coming right back but have fun. He says: I thought you were leaving.

I just said fuck it and logged.

So yeah if you see this guy. Run away. I know ppl are new at one point but this guy takes the cake.
 
Dunes = Qufim = Jungle .. 'nuff said...
Tho i know how you feel, /comfort...
The main reason i solo all the way to 35 these days...
 
What Kirlua said, those three zones are just full of fail. Sorry this happened =/
 
That's shitty Davion, but usually if someone has some reference to Sephiroth, Cloud, etc... then you usually wanna run, and don't look back
 
lol silly davi

a gob smithy(unusually powerful in comparison to any other gob tier their) vs 4 peeps

it's a bitch with 6=D sorry to hear about that but yeah

those kinds of names send red flags everywhere
 
Cloudstrifex is actually a good RL friend of mine, I'm going to explain some things, not defend, but explain.


1) He is new, now, he should have taken the advice you gave him, sounds like it was good stuff. I've been trying to teach him and what not.

2) He DOES need ALOT of work on his party manners, I'm really sorry he repped you after only 5 min, and I'm sure alot of others feel that was shitty, I can make no excuses here. I will talk to him about it though.

3) The reason he was quiet is b/c his RL is hectic, I won't go into details, but don't think it's because he's "RMT" or whatever, I can assure you hes not.

4) Everyone on Quetz can /blacklist, or just take this as a High NOOB moment, he'll learn, give him a chance too. But don't come to a desicion about him, he rarely plays due to RL issues, and is still fairly new at the game. He will learn, or I'll kill him myself.

That's my last input in this, it's not a weak flame, but don't judge him so hastily, I recall I had a thread back when I started posting on QCDN about a BLM, I called him a newb and leech b/c he afked suddenly and for long periods of time and miscasting Bio on another mob, so don't everyone let this alter your perceptions on Cloud, he's a good guy and a good friend. Just give me some time to chew his ass out for making it a bad pt experience for ya =( once again sorry that happened.....
 
As stated, Dunes= Qufim = Jungle, No.ob land ftw!
Most of us are no.ob at some stage in the game so i'm not really surprised, more like it's something normal to be observed in this area (maybe Sh*tadel too)
 
....Sh*tadel....I like it...it's sexy..... peace ^^y
 
If he learns I'm cool. I was mad XD. Only part of that party I was mad at was being replace within 5 mins.
 
I refuse to believe that someone with a name like Cloudstrifex could be anything other than the finest caliber player. Not only is he named after a wickedly awesome sword wielding FFVII character, but his name ends with an 'x' to emphasize his disdain for authority and conformity.

Selph, at least tell you buddy not to start parties until he learns the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.

I'm gonna go way out on a limb and say he's an impatient immature teenager with family problems.

Tell him just to play the game for fun and as an escape, and to listen to people who try to help him out, and to try not to bum rush FFXI.

Fail.

No excuse. If his RL is so hectic maybe he should prioritise and stop playing an MMO.

Win.

Just do this now. Murder is always fun between friends.

You need to stop making me laugh so hard at work. I'm getting stared at.

Makes me wonder there if someone has the username 'Matrix' and has somewhat questionable gaming tatics. :)

I partyed with a Zsnowman the other day, see he didnt add x's to be cool.
