Well I'm sure you're all gonna take the ranger up on a PT offer anyway because people suck, but... just a little warning about Konartistc.

First off, is I think static with WHM Soulsiege, who personally I have no problem with, except isn't a very good WHM. Has Erase, so obviously takes the job seriously. But 2nd mob in I'm dead because he goes AFK without saying it. Then MNK is dead because instead of healing he casts raise on me mid battle.
Well anyway...
This PT had the potential to be good, but people kept making stupid mistakes.
Now the real trouble started when we pulled a goblin, and on the way back to camp, it lost aggro and went yellow. Japanese party next to us takes it. Konartistc starts to rant for about a minute how Japanease people piss him off. Of course... our RDM, who is Japanese, speaks english very well, and he makes her sad. I tell him to be careful what he says, and he withdraws what he says, and says he doesn't hate anyone.
Well I knew from there this guy is an ignorant asshole, because he made a total blanket statement and he totally dissed our awesome RDM.
Then he decides to say how much he hates Bush. And he starts to go off on how America is full of bigots and anti gays and whatever. And he starts spouting off all this horseshit. I tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about, and he's completely ignorant(e. g. shut the fuck up). Then bam, the MNK(who is the first voke for SATA) starts to get involved in this discussion. Enter the WHM again, involved in discission. These three are chattering nonstop, and they aren't doing their jobs.
I am nearly killed by distracted WHM, who promises not to do it again, and I admit afterwards was better.
MNK no longer vokes first, he is too busy talking about this stupid discussion about religion, to which they are all a bunch of ignorant pricks who don't know what the fuck they are talking about but pretend to be experts. I keep telling them to please play.
Enter the bad pull. Konartistic is in red, prolly going to die on his way back from pull. RDM runs out and she heals him. The mob starts attacking her. Does the MNK voke... of course not! She is in red and finally I voke(I'm Ninja). No SATA to me, then the WHM goes cure crazy before I can build any hate. WHM is killed. my hate's all fucked up. Ranger is killed. WHM activates reraise, gets up.
Konartist then gets pissed off and disbands the party, MID BATTLE. I'm standing there soloing this IT mob yelling at people to zone and I barely make it out with my ass alive.
I send angry tell, "wtf are you thinking?!"
And he accuses me of letting him die on purpose, as if a ninja can control hate without sata when everyone is totally fucking up at the beginning. I voked and uses that elemental attack stuff but it wouldn't turn. except for a few seconds at a time.
So I say quite frankly "You are an asshole"
"How am I supposed to respond to that, you are rubber I am glue?" he says.
Taking the moral high ground. Isn't it a little late asshole, you just disbanded the PT mid battle cause of your own god damn fuckup. If you just listened to my repeated req and stopped chatting with the monk who obviously couldn't tank and do something simple like provoke at start at the same time, then your dumb ass wouldn't have been killed. But no, you're a retard.
 
I'm not sure, but I think Konartist may be played by two different people.

On the one hand, osme of my best pickup XP/hr parties have involved Konartist. Very good puller (thf,) excellent at SATA and generally willed the PT to keep going even past ~4AM. Accepted link deaths too, just ate the XP loss and asked for Tractor/Raise.

Other times, I've seen Konartist level RDM 'for the LS' so s/he didn't need to be bothered with Dispel. A lot of weird other stuff too that doesn't seem to be in character with the Konartist I've XP'd with.

Just my opinion, could be any number of reasons. (And another reason why I keep my mouth shut when I XP. Heh.)
 
You can all be rank10 and still loose to a very tough mob.

It's all about communication, team work, and organzation.
Obvously you're party had none of this.
 
Konartist is a fucking asshole and a fucking moron.

I was in a party with him in Kazham, when his RDM was around 25. He was chattering nonstop, and when someone left, he started swearing blah blah. He was doing a lousy job, too.

There were probably other things he was doing, because he made my blacklist. It is VERY difficult to get on my blist, I have 3 people on it.
 
Yeah Fire, i Don't know that Konartis guy, but i did play one time with Soulsiege, and it is true. He surprise me by having erase, yet he sucked @ been a whm. Went Protectra wore off, we had to remind him 4~5 times to recast it, ppl poison, i had to be poisona them cause he never notice it, and yes he had erase but never used it either unless u beg him for it. What good is having all spells as whm, but yet u don't know when or how to use them...???

Probily bought the charater, or bought gil online for shit.
 
An update. Konartist lvling 51 THF at citadel while lvling thf up top... first zoned about 20+ bats and wiped out our rdm and whm. Then people were mad so he/she zoned a chamber beetle and killed some more ppl. Yes, IS a MPK.
 
Not cool ... that is all ...
 
Heh, I saw the after results of that Firestreak. Thought I'd /shout once or twice about how friggin' foolish it is to zone out in Garlaige with a train, especially from the lower level (50+ hunting ground). Sucks when people do that... takes away 20 minutes or more of EXPing. I asked him (it) why he didn't just die (I was helping Harmoney look for her WHM AF coffer at the time), and he said "I usually do, just didn't this time". lol I don't see how this time was any different, not like you can forget to die when you're building a freakin' huge train. :roll:
 
In general its a good idea to leave politics out of an XP party. That is pretty much what the LS is for, having more real life discussions. Other then that making blanket statements like JPN or Americans suck is just being an asshole.

Nice :)

Ahhh, I appreciate your words of honesty. I remember that party clearly. Indeed, I was distracted. I would have to say though, that is largely in part to a small verbal tiff. However that may be, I have to say one thing. My character is not purchased nor is my gil. I am currently coming up on 80 Days of playtime all of which I have played. Having read over your rants, I am now aware of some of the mistakes I made as a whm. I think one of my biggest mistakes is playing while extremely tired. However, my hesitant use of erase is due to the mp cost, and lack of need. For example, I do not feel the need to erase a blm who has slow. I attempt to focus my erases on the damage dealer and the tank. If the damage dealer has slow or str down, I erase. If the tank has evasion down, I erase. I am also hesitant to cast poisona at times, reason being, if I have regen II on a person and they are poisoned I am not too worried about such a minor hp loss. I will admit that the party with firestreak was horrible. However, insulting us is not necessary, to err is human. I can say that since the aforementioned party I have learned from my mistakes. I have fashioned myself into a much better whm. I apologize for that horrible party performance; you definitely did not have my 100%. My over-curing comes from a learned behavior as pld and war, until recently I always felt the need to sacrifice myself to save another. However noble that may be, as a whm it is not in the best interest of the party. Thank you for your brutal honesty ^^

P.S. Please excuse my horrible formatting and grammar as it is 7:55am and I have not slept yet.
 
Hm... Konartist also has been known to start rumors and harass players based on the rumors he starts '-' it is unfortunate that such players exist :( If he really is played by two people, i hope the 'nice' one becomes aware of how much his 'other' is damaging his reputation, because some of the stuff he says to others is just retarded.
 
I've pt'ed with Kon & Soulsiege before as my RDM... they aint bad... but aint amazing neither :x
 
Both were alright when I partied with them, but nothing I would strive hard to party with again for that matter. I would take either of them over someone I know nothing about, but after 60, you pretty much know your options for a pickup party.
 
I was in the 2nd jungle last night pulling for my pt (rng) and saw him dead on the floor by a lizzy I think.

I'm SO glad to see this.... because "she" (claims she is female named Kim) is doing this to me right now!

I tried very hard to be polite about not wanting to join a party she was in because of my prior knowledge of her behavior, but she wouldn't leave me alone. Now she's saying some really stupid shit about me. It's very annoying because where many times I have certainly been a total rude bitch to people, in this case I really really tried to be nice and as polite as I could be about it but still I'm getting shit talked about me. Today this resulted in my being unjustly accused of calling someone racist (just so happened I was engaged in a conversation in lower jeuno when someone accused someone of being racist and suddenly it was me who said it). Apparently this person is a friend of hers, and coincidentally was part of a Mission 5-1 party I got invited to. Suddenly this person is calling me a bitch, as a result of shit Konartist is saying about me. I had to blist Konartist and I missed out on a 5-1 party because of her antics.

It's very frustrating.
 
Firestreak use ur fckin brain.The basement in garlaige citadel is a good spot to level at level 50 and 51.And when u get sneak for some reason while coming up the stairs its gone in the middle sometimes.Unless there is a BLM to warp 2 there is a high chance to train and there are so many ppl who train to zone so they dont die its perfectly normal... not an MPK or w/e.
