This little shithead...

First of all, so sorry I’ve not been around. I’ve fallen in love with FFXIV SO hard. I’ve been playing it like it’s my job. lol

So, the other day, I decided to run a dungeon called Haukke Manor for XP. It’s about half my level, but I’m finally comfortable with the maze. (I have a shit sense of direction.)

I get in, and some guy named Kris pipes up and said “First time here!” and the others go “Yeah, this is like my second time.” Okay. Cool, I’m in the lead here. I tell them they’ll do great. I don’t think I need to say “Follow me” to the newbies, because in every other fucking dungeon I’ve run, that’s what it’s meant.

This little shithead keeps peeling off and getting totally lost. I say “I’m in X room that you were just in, I’ll stay here, come back to me”, or “Tell me where you are, I’ll come get you”. He keeps getting more lost and the other newbies don’t know whether to follow him or me, so the problem just keeps getting compounded.

I finally tell everyone to regroup at the beginning, and nobody but me does. Kris has been telling them he knows where to go! Um, no. So I have to ask them to stay where they are and that I’d come to them. AGAIN. 

They get lost because of him nine times. (ETA a few times because I forgot them.)

I finally catch up, and this asshat is still telling the others he knows where to go. We get up to near the big boss, and I’m going “Over here”, and then this little prick lays it out - “I told you I was a first-timer, and you should’ve known that means I need to look at every room.”

Then he told me he knows how to defeat the boss. No, you don’t.

We get like 90 minutes to run that dungeon. It takes more like 10 when someone shows you where to go. We almost ran out of time because of this shithead.

If I ever see that little crap again, I’m just gonna boot myself out of the dungeon. I don’t give a shit about the penalty.

I did something kind of assholish.

(Edited because I realized I wasn’t the asshole here.)

I was doing a dungeon raid for purposes of leveling. My party had 5 people in it, including me. 

So as soon as we got in there, the other 4 people peeled off and went for a baddie, while I was left with a really strong guy to take care of on my own. Because I had no support, he killed me. 

I waited a full 3 minutes to be raised, and asked in party chat if someone would help me. They just moved on. 

So I quit. I kinda had to. They weren’t coming back for me.

Boy, did I just fuck up.

In Final Fantasy XIV, I started a new character on my LiraelClayr account. I wanted to find out how to use my lvl 33 character to shove some money over to my newbie, but there isn’t an easy way to do it... You have to send a friend request over to the second character in order to mail them money, and you can’t do that between two characters on the same account.

So I went “Okay, then I’ll just re-download the trial version and create a new character under a second account. I’ll log in, send the friend request, log back in to my LiraelClayr account, accept that request, and Bob’s your uncle.” Right?

Doing that actually uninstalled the whole freaking game.

Way to go me! /s
