I wasn't going to flame this guy, honestly. Normally I'm not one for starting flames on people. But there's just so much suck going on, that even after 2 days I'm still amazed, so I wanted to share this story.
So Wednesday night we find ourselves with 5/6 linkshell people for meriting. We had NIN, THF, MNK, WAR, and me as RDM. We decide we're gonna try the mamool at Tandijia Isle, so we need a whm for extra healing if we're gonna do that. We pick up Keeblerx. I'm a little skeptical cause of the stupid-ass name, but everyone deserves a shot, right?
As we're starting the move from Whitegate to the camp, Keeblerx keeps mting all kinds of shit. We ask him what's up, and he apologizes and says his linkshell is doing prime fights, and that's what the mts are about. Ok. We all get to camp, and Keeblerx is still fucking around in Whitegate. We end up waiting like 20 minutes for him to get to us.
Soon as he gets to camp, Osse (who was leader) says buff up and we'll get started. Keeblerx instead throws up sneak/invis and runs off, saying "I'm gonna scout the other camps". First off, the other camps have colibri, which we didn't want to fight (our NIN had even gotten increased food duration on the assumption of mamool). Secondly, the other camps are past a drop-off, which means to get back we'd have to go back to Whitegate and run back again, taking another 10 mins. But he's already off the ledge before anyone can say boo, so we're fucked. He says the camp is open, so we make the best of a shitty situation and follow him down. We didn't want to fight birds, but we sure as hell can't fight mamool now. Of course as we're dropping down the ledge another party is also dropping down, so we end up with 2 parties in the shitty spot the whm led us (which only really supports one camp). Lovely.
Soon as we get to camp, I send Keeblerx a /tell asking him who he wants me to haste. He never responds. I just start hasting everyone, not giving a shit if my haste overwrite any he casts. At this point it's blatantly obvious that having the WHM in this camp fighting birds makes him dead weight. He has full MP the entire time, and I rarely drop below 80%. We decide to fight wivres as well, since colibri are way easy and the other party is taking them anyway.
As we're fighting the wivres and Keeblerx has to actually start doing shit, it makes me realize how much he fucking sucks. I was already hasting everyone as it was, because he refused to coordinate with me. I never saw him cast regen on anyone. He basically only cured, and when he did he almost always used Cure 4. He NEVER cast Cure 5, only 4 and sometimes 3. He got hate at least once from doing this. Another funny tidbit is he had a Nobles tunic, yet for some reason when we started on wivres and his mp actually was less than 95%, he swapped to Vermillion cloak. My mind is still boggling at that one.
After we kill our second wivre, Keeblerx says "sorry something came up unexpectedly gotta go" and immedaitely disbands and starts teleporting out as Osse is mid-pull on a colibri. At that point we'd fought maybe a half-dozen birds and the 2 wivres when he'd ditched us. Wanna guess what the "something unexpected" was that came up? Well, I did a /sea on him about 15 minutes later and he was in Cloister of Ice. That's right, the unexpected crisis was the prime fights that he'd been MTing about a full 30 minutes ago, before any of us actually even left Whitegate and started to camp.
We ended up continuing on with just the 5 of us against birds, and do just fine because this guy really was just dead weight. The only reason we'd invited him in the first place is because we wanted to do mamool, but he screwed us out of that right at the start.
