Shocked..

[Fliegar]

I'm shocked at the way some players treat others nowadays, it's pathetic that I or anyone else should even have to deal with some of them.

I was in a party in Yhoatar Jungle and we where killing Mandragoras at a steady rate. Sam (me) Thf, Nin, War, Whm (leader) and a Blm. After a while, this Dragoon logs in some 10 feet from our party and puts up his flag and hobbles over to my group. At this point I'm thinking, "Hey, he's just looking for a party and hoping we have an empty slot, maybe he'll notice we're full and walk away."

As the Thf gets back with the next mandragora, at about half hp the Whm (leader) says, "Sorry Blm, friend wants to come" and kicks him from the party, immediately inviting the Dragoon that was standing near us." I was shocked that anyone would do this without even giving a warning, and in the middle of combat even! The black mage had saved the party twice by backup healing and taking hate from the Whm when he over-curedus, by nuking the hell out of it. At this point the Blm is pissed off and starts telling the leader that he's a prick (which at the time, was what I was thinking), so I told the party that I was disgusted by their behavior and left as the Whm said, "Friends have more priority in the game sorry. This was followed by tells from the party saying "Lol, just a game, get over it."

Has anyone else come across some assholes like this in their play time? I didn't think anyone would be so rude as to do something like this.

Re: Shocked..

In my opinion, first come = first served.

I hate it when leaders kick perfectly good party members only to replace them with a linkshell member or friend.

Yeah it's just a game, but because it's just a game doesn't mean you can be rude to other people. The game may not be real but the people are, you'd be surprised how many people forget that and think the whole of Vana'diel revolve around their little lives.

Re: Shocked..

This is the first time I've ever been in a party that has done this. After the BLM got kicked and I left and posted, I found out that the Blm came back with a vengeance, and started killing each and every mandragora in the jungle. Serves them right.

Re: Shocked..

Well personally what the blm did can be seen as petty and childish, it wasn't only the leader he was annoying but the rest of the party, some of who were completely innocent in the whole thing. If I were him I would of been angry but just left and started looking for a better party, whilst adding the leader who kicked me to blacklist so I didn't party with him again in future.

You'll meet a lot of people like that ( noobs generally or just inconsiderate ) who tend to annoy the hell out of you but there's not much you can do about it really apart from stay away from them in future.

This is exactly what I would have done. If hanging out with your friend is more important then treating other people like human beings then he won't mind just hanging out with him not getting xp. And hey it's just a game, get over it right?

As for the rest of the party by not leaving in protest they are supporting his actions so they can all go die in a fire.

Turnabout is fair play.

Re: Shocked..

I do it all the time whenever an asshat leader (or in some cases the whole party) royally screws with me (provided I can actually handle the mobs >. >)

Re: Shocked..

I'll go with fallenintoshadows's idea; coming back to prevent the party from exp'ing is a tad too churlish for my taste, not to mention it's probably against S-E's rules.

It's better to jus /blist the idiot party leader and his DRG friend, and wash your hands of those ilk. ^_^

Re: Shocked..

The rest of the party didn't really care whether or not the Blm got kicked or not, they seemed to know the guy as well. If I was the Blm I would have done the same thing to be honest.

Re: Shocked..

Wrong or not, I could see myself doing this as well. It's all fine and good to act mature about things and keep a cool head and not sink down to the other guys level, but at some point I don't want to feel like I'm just rolling over and letting others treat me however they want. You can only take it in the nether regions for so long. Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do but the party leader did a craptacular thing and the rest of the party supported it. They still deserved it.

Re: Shocked..

I agree with the OP and the BLM both, I would have done the same thing, on both ends.... this kind of behavior is horrible, and should not be tolerated. What that leader did, was down right rude on every level.

Re: Shocked..

If you want the name of the Whm, he's Exelence, on Remora.

Re: Shocked..

I've had a pt leader pull this on me once so I know just how pissed off it leaves you. I was a thief and got kicked just after delivering the pull to the party.

I'm glad the party you described got what they deserved I didn't stay around to find out on mine after the pt lead confirmed in tell that my services were no longer needed. (he did so to reduce the level gap by 1. He just didn't feel I needed to know until after he kicked me).

Congratulations, you're just as big of an ass as the party leader.

Good for him. People that say that it's just a game deserve to be treated with their own standards.
