I began running an XP static for my PUP since lord knows there's no other way it'll get XP without intense soloing, long waiting, or bugging people not LFP.
We're hard up for a healer, and I figure ok, SMN isn't our best choice, but just as NIN can pseudo tank and do well with it, so can SMN to main healing...
Anyway pt 52-53ish, we pop into KRT and buff and begin xping.
This guy buffs with Garuda's Aerial Armor and Titan's Earthen thinggum and we get a goin'.
Much to the surprise of Davion, Moon, Stevedizzle, our other member and myself, this guy left Titan out and began to melee. Occasionally Cure II spamming, leaving our Bard Davion to fend for us as far as staying alive went.
Eventually we confront him about it and we get the usual "I don't do..."-crap. I tell him it's not working after the first wipe and just remove him and find a BLU and ask him to go /WHM which worked out awesome.
Needless to say, the problem was resolved, but it's not just his Blue Mage that Dejan showed us that can use work.
S'his SMN too. >.> (Perhaps w/e else he plays, yes?)
I'm not elitist by far, I know what it's like to struggle without the best gear for my level and still truck on, but this guy just had a pisspoor attitude and even worse play style.
After most of our group gave him some pointers or advice to improve playstyle which he just shrugged off, and let us just burn after Davion(BRD) burnt his MP.
I hate that attitude he had...
I think that was the worst part, watching him shrug off the advice of 5 other fairly decent or better players, all rank 6-10 with some time in-game and he just insisted on doing what he was which added to downtime and eventually wiped half+ the party.
Ugh, just another worthless 2 cents in the pile but bah.
...knew I'd see some small sort of flame about him sooner or later and thought I'd share.
