My name is not Tank!Follow

Also let's not rip on the guy for not having a keyboard...I'm sure he realizes that it would be easier for him with one but maybe he doesn't have 20 bucks sitting around atm...

No, now let's use an example.

If the BRDs get behind on the Turn 1 snake boss in BC, and the tank is taking more damage than I can heal for, and die, I don't want to hear about how ****** the healers are.

If someone is ignoring mechanics, and taking loads of unnecessary damage, or attacking the wrong target, I don't want to hear from a DD how ****** the healing is.

Basically if you're making ******* presumptions, based in ignorance, while you or someone else is just wantonly undermining the group's chances of success, I don't want to hear about how it's MY fault.

To say it is faster for people to know your job over who you are referring to also says you aren't very observant of the people around you. You are basically waiting for someone to tell you what jobs are in the party with you because it would be too slow for you to look for yourself."BLM sleep the mobs," now you know you have a BLM. But how did that person know that you had a BLM in the party. I wonder, could it be the icon directly next to the players name? No, that couldn't be, it's too simple and not fast enough. I think SE has made the game fast enough to the point where we don't need to increase it.

One of the many complaints about FFXIV is that the pace is so fast, that there is no time to make friends, make conversation, actually enjoy the time you are spending with random people you may or may not ever see again. Because even in DF, you will never end up with 1 or more people who shares the same Server as you. We complain yet we make no attempt to do anything about it, instead we blame SE or DF. Why are you(those who don't want to acknowledge the people around them) playing an MMORPG?

Excuse:;: This is not an RP server.
You are playing an RPG.

Excuse:;: DF.
In my main post, did I mention DF?

Excuse:;: Not Fast enough.
SE doesn't need your help.

Excuse:;: That how it is, get over it.
I don't have a one track mind that seeks to close everyone out, get over it.

Excuse:;: Friends and FC
Sure, fair enough, but Friends and FC aren't cages meant to keep you from enjoying the company of random people you may or may not see again.

I'd probably start with something simple. "Ecchi Two the Oh", "Aquamemnon" and other such things, but eventually I'd probably just end up calling you Haqua. I'm not really sure why that would be where I settled, but somehow I just get that feeling.


Edit: Topically: I've always been called by my role in PuGs in several games that I've played, with almost no one using my character's name. It's mildly annoying, but you'll give yourself an aneurysm worrying about it too much.

That's just the way it is with the way DF works. People are going to be curt because they don't know you, there's no social aspect, you're just a role. Unless you're teamed up with people you know we all just treat each other like automatons.

Since I'm wrong and we are still pointing fingers at only DF
Tank = GLA, WAR, PLD
DD = WAR, PUG, MNK, DRG, LNC, ARCH, THA, BLM, SMN
Healer = CNJ, WHM,
Somewhere in the mix = ARC, BRD, SCH

I still say you don't know who or what is in your group because is it too much work to look at the corner of your screen. Also, from the very beginning, my pet peeve was my job being used as my name, not to know them on a personal level. Sure I don't mind getting chummy with a complete stranger, however that neither here nor there. But, since you know what the post is about, I'm sure you knew that.

Just entered a WP in DF and got "Hi Tank" the second i spawned, I laughed for the entire run.
