Players To Watch Out For - The ReturnFollow

I wanted to post 2 people here for people to be on the look out for. Neither of these people were jerks or anything, but they just do not know how to do their jobs well at all.

Cellus - 65 RDM. Very bad RDM. Doesn't dispel ever, and doesn't listen to anyone. Don't know if he doesn't understand english well or what, but I've pt'd with him 3 or 4 times now (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment) and he has to be the worst red mage I've ever pt'd with. Just for example, an elemental pops nearby and we shout over and over to not cast magic. It seems that everyone listened, but then Cellus goes and casts refresh on himself and gets aggro. Another time a crawler pops nearby our camp. We shout over and over for everyone to move, which everyone does. Everyone, except Cellus, who continues to stand there casting Refresh and various spells on himself while we keep telling him to move. Of course, he gets aggro and once again we have to escape. He then says he didn't notice us yelling at him in party chat. Please don't invite this guy. He needs to learn how to do his job before he levels it any further.

Hulksmash - 64 MNK. Once again, not a bad guy, just really dense. Doesn't listen to what anyone tells him, doesn't play his job well, and makes a lot of mistakes like getting aggro on the way to camps and such. If you have a THF in your party with this guy, it's going to be a rough experience. He doesn't work well with THFs at all. He won't get behind the mob so the THF can SATA off of it. It takes him forever to initial voke so that tank can set up behind the mob for THF to SATA. He usually lets the puller get beat on for almost half their HP's before he finally vokes. I'm thinking he may be a younger kid, and he really doesn't seem to understand some of the mechanics of the game. I've pt'd with him a couple times, and each time we've had someone die almost from the start because of his mistakes. Beware inviting him.

I second YukioOfBismarck's post on adding Illusions to this list.

Way back when before I even signed up to post on these threads, I managed to find my way into a party in Crawler's Nest where Illusions was the White Mage. We were heading down to the hidden room in CN, where the item replicator machine is, and when we finally got to the bottom of the ramp, I sneaked everyone who needed sneak, or could not sneak themselves (I was a BLM/RDM in my 40's at the time). Since Illusions was our White Mage, also above lvl 40, there was no doubt in my mind that he did not have sneak.

Sure enough, as everyone on the party began to head towards the hidden room in CN, we see Illusion's HP dropping fast. Apparently he got aggrod by an exoray. After he dies, he blames me for not sneaking him, calls me various nasty names, and then he home points back to Jeuno, and disbands from the party.

Apparently, he was by himself in this conclusion, since everyone else in the party agreed with me that it was not my fault for not sneaking the White Mage. In fact, he should have helped sneak everyone on the way to camp, including himself. Instead, he refused to spend any MP for a mere sneak. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not going to sneak someone who knows the spell and is just too damn lazy to cast it. If you run into Illusions, avoid him.

Poseidonsiegel

This guy was a BLM who thought BLMs should never debuff and just nuke like it's the last mob of a possible chain #5 then sit and rest the remainder of the battle after he had already sent hate flying everywhere.

Even after several of the pt made polite suggestions he would just say, "I am not wasting mp on debuffs, that's a RDM's job (when we had no RDM). I have to save my mp to keep you all alive! (even though he never cured one time)." Then the last mob we all died on before I disbanded he zoned when the mob had about 1/10 HP left while he still had over 120 HP and 123 MP left and he would not cure any of us.

He was Elvaan with BLM/RDM job, so he didnt have uber mp to begin with, used no food or drink, and would rest EVERY TIME til he had full mp, even while we were fighting a new mob, he would just rest during the first half of the battle. At one point he even seemed upset when we asked him to cast something he said, "Well, I am trying to eat while I do this, too."

O.o

***** your dumb a[b][/b]ss Poseidonsiegel. The worst part is the party was going really well before he came along and everyone got along and was having a good time. Then the BLM had to leave and we had to get this ****. Just goes to show you people who think a bad player thread is a bad idea, these players should be called out. Its not a crime to be a poor video game player but it is a crime IMO to make several other people from wherever in the world they are have a miserable time after they had been having so much fun.

Heh Taruofdeath was in my PT for a bit last night, but as SMN. He wasn't lotting on anything at least. He was asking me tons of questions about avatar battles though, cost per battle, which ones are difficult etc. Asked me for gil to do the battles but told him the battles left me broke so I couldn't.

Now, there is something I find odd about him though. Someone mentioned that he is a newbie so not to go to harshly on him, but he has the SMN job, so he had to have gotten SOMETHING to 30 you'd think. While partying with him, I had thought that perhaps he purchased his account. Either that or he has just been squeaking by.

As for how he was playing, he was letting carbuncle out, letting him use poison nails, then leaving him out to melee. We had a power level though so there was no need for him to do any backup healing, so I can say for sure whether he would or not if needed. Also, the most interesting thing I noticed were his macros. His release macro said in /s "Return from whence you came!" Word for word from the Brady guide XD

Before he left, he added me to his friends list >_> /sigh. I have a hard time telling people no so I accepted. He wasn't rude at least so there may be hope for him. ^^;

Longshanks I had the displeasure of grouping with him a few times in CN. Probably one of the most egocentric people I've met playing this game, and for some reason he decided to play a paladin. I beleive the best line out of his mouth was "I don't play this game to help other people".

Group leaders beware.

This one is getting added just for obnoxiousness and for obviously low maturity levels.

Nagasaki, lv 18 taru BLM. Spam invited me tonight in the dunes because my search comment said not to (because I despise blind invites, I put "/tell first" in my comment and "spam invite won't work.") So, in a lovely show of maturity, this Taru spam invites me until I blacklist him. I don't see him for awhile, til later that night when he gets invited to a party when he immediately disbands when I take him off my blist and acknowledge his presence. Another hour passes, leader of the party changes, and Nagasaki is again invited to the party and again leaves when he sees I'm in it. Not a word is uttered.

Of course that's nothing to be reported for, but the fact that he acts like a little child and then runs and doesn't take responsibility for his actions merits mentioning. Also, the THF in my party apparently knew him and used a couple vulgar words to describe him so it's obvious he has done something in the past.

Be wary.

I saw someone post something that intrigued me...



Ahh man, I thought this name looks familiar. I was in a party with Bren around level 49, and she didn't have Altepa Gate Crystal nor the spell. I'm cool with that, maybe annoyed, but still alright with it.

The thing that boggles my mind is...she went AFK for 10 minutes, she comes back saying...
<Bren> Hey guys I got enough money now for Altep
<party> Cool it should be roughly 80k
<Bren> Yeah I know, I bought gil
<Bren> It'll be here shortly
..........................

Needless to say the party leader booted her after that.

I Totally Agree with this, How can you put someone on here for not knowing there job. I can see if its lvl 50 or so then mabey i would be a lil bit leary. But you said he was pleasent to you and such, so then why would you put him on here? Varcore is right on bro i think you need to come down a few notches. Your Attitude towards him will only make him be a worse player. If you have a problem with his play /tell him about it and offer advice. If he then becomes and Asshat then i would say put him on here but for not knowing a job that seems kinda petty on your part

Wow... I saw Briann's name in posts earlier and I was compelled to back up the previous posters. I pt'd with Briann in garlington citidel (sp >_<). Setup 2pld 2thf whm blm

Basically it was a SATA fest, we timed it to have a SATA every 30 seconds. One of our pld left, but lucky (or so I thought) we got another pld.. Briann.

Sure not everyone knows the concept of SATA, but its not that hard... stand behind the mob, let the thf do the rest right? Nope for the life of him he would not stand behind the mob, forcing me to be the SATA partner for other thf (and vise versa).

Briann finally got fed up with us asking him over and over and over to stand behind, and he disbanded and logged. About 15 minutes later we see him in the pt next to us... not as a tank, but their main healer >_<; Needless to say we got a good laugh out of it... but wait there is more!

A few days later I see him on my ls at the time (EliteTaruCollective, good group^^) I decide to give him a second chance, I say hello and ask how he is doing. No hi back just a, Will someone help me get RSE in gusgen mines? I reply that I was on my way there, but I was a thf... so I was just going to pick the lock, not fight monsters for the key. He reply's with a "You all suck". wow... I wasnt gonna let some ****** pld talk to my ls like that, so I rudely asked him to drop his pearl and never ask for one again.

Sorry for the long post, this guy just gets under my skin. Bad player, retarded pld IMO

Players to Watch out for - Discussion Thread

That's linked in the OP, but I thought I'd put it here for convenience.

Not that this has anything to do with a PLD refusing to work with SATA and then trying to play main healer (both irritating beyond comprehension), but your stating that you'd only pick locks not fight monsters for keys is in effect telling him you won't help him. XD He'd need the key to get his RSE, and he'd need to open the chest himself. If you were going to be opening the chest without needing RSE and/or outside of your race/gender time it would also increase the respawn time for his chest, making the RSE chest hunt more grueling than it already is. All I'm saying is...maybe that is why he got mad and said everyone sucks. Still not excuseable, but...

Dryhus, the devil's advocate

Well, make sure you double check that spelling, because there's an Aryana and an Ariana and a couple others. Either that name's really popular or it's from a game I've never played. Aryana is a GOOD person, I can vouch for her, only saw Ariana pass me by (and pretty sure it was a THF actually), and I saw the other one as a mule. Only posting this so the wrong Aryana doesn't get a bad rep.

EDIT

New addition: Infamouskiller

Hume RDM, absolutely arrogant and overreactive. Blindly invites a LS member when he is not even seeking. LS member declines. About an hour later, he sends a /tell "pt" and that's it, sending the invite again. LS member declines and, as is his way of playing, says to Infamouskiller that he will Black List him for the BlindInvite if he continues to press it. Infamouskiller gets rude, says the "F-word" and threatens to put the LS member on his LS's blacklist board. I then get involved, telling him he has no place putting the LS member on the board when he himself was the arrogant one. Infamouskiller claims the LS member was rude in his declining and with the Black List warning, and "didn't mean to blindly invite." To which I said, if it was an accident, you tell him, otherwise you are the one who is overreacting." Naturally I never got a reply to that, and I am most likely on his black list and his entire LS's blacklist. Not that I care, I really won't miss his company.

For as high and mighty as he acts, he not only had an underleveled sub (something I rarely pick on, but when you act elitist, you better fit the bill), but couldn't even form a coherent sentence.

No doubt in my mind he has followers here, so if you would like to contest this, please, feel free. Follow the link provided in the original post or what Nataraja posted.

[ANOTHER EDIT]

Now he has no room to talk. Two mins ago he sent another tell out of the blue to my LS member, "****." Wasn't provoked, LS member siad absolutely nothing to him since he stopped talking, and then he says that to him. This is why I nearly quit this game, because some little boys have too much time on their hands.
