AITAH - When you're up late b4 server goes down trying to get in a random dungeon AND

FurryCandyHearts · April 20

There's this guy who is playing a tank, who's wanting to use the ritemaster in scriveners hall as his personal training dummy and i got 1 last dd to get through before the server goes down BUT i keep getting the same tank queueing for the same scriveners hall AND let me just say, we ain't getting through the ritemaster, not with my dd and probably not any other that's likely online at that hour. I'm just on training gear trying to reach cp 160 and i think i'm using level 40 gear until i hit cp 160 and put on some real gear.

But aside from all that, can we just agree that the last couple hours before the server goes down is not the right time to queue repeatedly as a tank to try and solo the ritemaster and treat him as your personal training dummy? People just want a rN and get on with their day already! Amirite? And so i think i wasn't the only one who felt this way b/c when i voted to kick him, we got a quick vote.

what say you?

Why would he be trying to solo it? If he’s genuinely like… “everyone stand back I’m going to solo this” then yeah that’s questionable. It’s literally the first boss, he could just walk in solo.

Yep, I'd kick that tank too tbh. Haven't had anyone try that in a group with me thankfully.

My personal pet peeve is those players who won't try to rez group members when a boss fight gets spicy. Then you end up with the last idiot standing routine. They can't actually kill the boss solo, but they think they can. In that moment, they don't need to rez the other DD, healer or tank. They're invincible!

So you get that long.... slow... dragged out demise. They run around healing as it gradually dawns on them that the end is drawing ever closer. But no, they will bravely fight on... or at least keep trying to heal and making vague stabby gestures towards the boss.

Meanwhile the rest of the team lies on the floor knowing with 100% certainty that this idiot is going to die. Someone shouts "just wipe!" but alas they will never just wipe. This is their moment to shine and battle that boss solo, with the glory of a victory in front of an unconscious audience. And then finally they die. The rest of the group re-awakens and grimly says nothing as the boss respawns with full health again.

The worst bit is, you never know if they're being a selfish jerk or actually capable of killing the boss until they die lol.

Such a fun dungeon on vet, haven't finished the hard mode but it is for sure one of my favorites. It always sucks to hear of people having trouble in randoms. That's why I don't do randoms except normal sometimes. Too much headache and variables.

That's what I don't understand either - you can literally enter solo either by direct wayshrine travel or walking in through the front door...

Heck, I've done that on the couple of occasions I've forgotten to turn in the quest after a trial run!
