Dungeon runs like the one I just had make me wonder why I keep playing FFXIV.
I'm a decent healer, GREAT, even, if my number of commendations and times I've had people compliment me means anything.
And I just had a tank accusing me of sucking because NO ONE WOULD DO MECHANICS and they all KEPT DYING and before we could manage to win I was down to literally ZERO MANA with my tank having EIGHT STACKS OF VULNERABILITY UP.
EIGHT STACKS.
HE WAS TAKING EIGHT TIMES MORE DAMAGE.
And yelled at me for taking debuffs off him in the trash pulls!
My mana was dead pretty much all that dungeon because no one would ******** do the goddamn mechanics. <********, I HATE people like that, wouldn't even listen to me when I was explaining exactly why we ******** wiped.
I'm so mad right now I'm shaking, hella pissed...
And to think, I was literally only in that dungeon FOR FUN, it wasn't going to give me ANYTHING.
I could just scream right now...

Some people just don't understand the idea of an MMO is to help others, not go solo. Clearly, he's one of those people because he wasn't working at all with you. It's inevitable you'll come across people like that in games every once in a while sadly. I just hope that you don't have to put up with someone like that again.

True, true.
Sometimes I have really great groups, and sometimes I get lucky and run with two friends so at least half my party is competent, haha~

It's even worse with people like that in xiv because you CAN'T dungeon solo, when you queue you'll always be matched as a part of at least a four-man party (in some content, your party will be as large as eight people, and raid dungeons have three parties of eight for a total twenty-four), and the mechanics rely on EVERYONE doing their part.
I don't usually get groups so bad, but it was so infuriating, because it was quite clear the tank had never healed and didn't understand my job AT ALL.
The icing on the cake, and what really set me off in the end aside from being accused of not doing my job right by someone who had no idea what my job even entailed, I think they vote kicked me.
Which not only was stupid (We were on the last boss, kill it and we'd have been DONE. I'd love to see another healer get them as far as I did without exploding in rage or having the party wipe, because we actually almost managed it despite my DPS not doing mechanics at all and my tank being an antagonistic butt.), but also abuse of the vote kick function; thinking someone sucks isn't a valid reason to kick someone, and I hadn't even said anything mean to them, or cursed even (a feat, I curse like a sailor), so they couldn't have used the 'harassment' option to kick me without threat of possible investigation which would find them the guilty parties. (Which means they either said I was AFK or offline when they chose 'why' to kick me; this kind of vote kick abuse is actually quite prevalent, and since the person getting kicked doesn't know why, or even that it's happening, nothing can really be proven, it's a pretty big gripe with some of the players because experienced players sometimes like to use it to kick newbies from harder content, which is super mean because of how long some of these people have to wait to even get in to this stuff.)

Doing mechanics...?

And note to self, don't try these games if you can't solo. People in online games tend to piss me off in general. And latest bouts have only been GTA Online and ESO. Don't really want to drop into chaosville by going online with Dark Souls III just yet.
