Fellina said:I have one to add . . . mind you, this happened a long time ago, but I was reminded of it when I saw this guy in Jeuno the other day. His name is Bushwick, and last I saw he saw a low-20's BLM.
When I partied with him, he was a WHM with no sub. I was leveling my BLM sub, about level 12 or so, and got a invite to a Maze party. There were 5 of us, so we decide to chain some tough Akbabas just outside while looking for a 6th.
On the first fight, I notice our tank's HP dropping a lot. When the tank went into the red, I had to start curing (yes, as BLM) to save his hide. Finally, towards the end of the fight, when the tank would've probably died if I hadn't stopped nuking to chaincast cure as fast as possible, Bushwick throws off a Cure 2.
Now, the following isn't an exact quote from the dialogue that followed, but it's close enough for these purposes.
I send Bushwick a /tell, saying "I noticed you seemed to be holding out for Cure 2. At this level, Cure is more mana efficient, you may want to cast that, and save 2 for emergencies."
He responds "Yeah, meanwhile the tank is dead because he didn't get healed enough"
Me: "Well, that's why you keep casting Cure 1 until 2 is needed . . . "
Him: "Whatever champ, who's the WHM and who's the BLM?"
Me: "Hey, I'm just trying to help, I've played healer a lot at this level, and I've found that Cure 2 just isn't worth the mana for a few levels yet"
Him: "Yeah, well who gives a fuck. I'm not really a WHM, so what does it matter"
Me: That's a poor attitude to have- you may not be a WHM normally, but you're one NOW, and the party is counting on you in that capacity"
Him: *string of obscenities*
I'd had enough at this point. I say to the party: "I'm sorry, but I don't think this party will work, I believe your WHM is going to get someone killed, and don't want it to be me. I wish you luck." Just before I put in /disband, I see Bushwick over /p say "Oh boo hoo, go home and cry to momma you pussy"
So yeah, real class act there. Happy end to this story is that the leader sent me a /tell asking what happened. I explained the situation and Bushwick got kicked, and I was invited back in, lol. 15 minutes later we'd found a WHM and Ninja duo which we brought into the group, and I got from 12 to 14 in less than 2 hours.
If others have had the same problem with him that I have, it may be part of the reason that he's only low-20's BLM now, some 2 months later. *shrugs*
This asshat is on my blist. He would still throw out nothing but Cure 1 by 40-41 range as well. he did figure out that he can stay in the party longer if he macros it to SAY he's using Cure 3. Got our Pld and Dark Knight killed at seprate points.
I always look at the party logs, that's why I noticed it. Anyway, we gave him a second chance and that's what got the Dark Knight killed.
This little turd is the worst kind of player there is. NEVER even consider inviting him.
