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.
