Dear TFDF, I never thought it would happen to me

I’ve been playing this game for over ten years with some breaks in between. I’ve never ever reported anyone until today.

No screenshots because I had to go to work and didn’t know how lol.

MSQ roulette, got the Castrum. DRK, WHM, MNK and I’m a MCH.

Get to the first boss and the WHM lets the tank die. Takes forever to rez them and even after they do their healing is, let’s call it lethargic. I think I saw them cast Regen once.

After the second boss the DRK gives them some advice on how to balance healing and damage, to which the healer responds “Man, stfu.”

We get to Livia and the WHM stands there and does absolutely nothing until they die. We were able to finish the fight because it’s the Castrum but I was so baffled I decided to report another player for the first time ever.

He's trying his best.

Disconnected randomly before I could grab a screenshot of this. Joined a Meso Terminal premade in PF, consists of one DRK (new to dungeon) and DRG (not new), we get a healer quickly and jump in thinking we're just going to help someone going through MSQ, shouldn't be too bad, we're in level 100 content after all.

Immediately feel something off. The tank single pulls, opens with unleash, doesn't finish the aoe combo, and switches to single target only, loses aggro to everyone else consistently. We take a ton of damage, and I notice: he's not using a drop of his MP (and also no mits, not that you need them in single pulls). The bar is constantly full, and all I'm seeing is unleash and probably the 123 combo.

This is a level 100 DRK with no sprout symbol and GNB also at 100.

We hit the first boss. The tank pulls it by walking up to the boss and standing there until the aggro locks on, I come close to taking aggro again, DRK dies, comes back, provokes just before the TB cast, but doesn't mitigate it and walks into the edge of the arena, dying of bleed after taking the TB full on. We wipe.

Finally, the healer and I say something. We ask if he's new to the game, if he needs pointers or help learning. His dragoon friend just says "he's trying his best", DRK is silent. We finally barely clear the first boss after 2 wipes, hit the four horsemen, and after all the single packs, no mitigations, the dps nearly dying every pull, and not a single word from the DRK, we vote abandon thinking we're definitely not clearing the final boss.

Should've vote abandoned way earlier. It was odd. Felt like this person wasn't even sure of how to move their character. No delirium, living shadow, salted earth, or anything. ONE blackest night to try to block a TB in the run we cleared on, but it was activated after the TB went off.

No idea what the heck that was, honestly.

Quick story because my guildmate and I were having a laugh at this MENTORS behavior. I've been grinding aether all day and started paste. Was going well enough until this chap decided I wasn't playing optimally in Brayfox's long stop. The funny thing is, I keep potions on hand.

Couldn't kick them and not pictured is their "beam me up Scotty" res message they finally sent after I had died twice, and they wiped us twice. Sorry boss, after 8 hours of grinding, i'm tired.

Keep up the good work, BK employees!
