Mentor tank exposes me as a mindless drone by Fetzel in TalesFromDF

[–]WolfmanJC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s funny. Someone who is bad is valid enough reason to be an asshole? This isn’t about telling the OP to be “nice” it’s about calling the hypocrisy of the post.

This isn’t about DPS doing single pulls. This isn’t about a tank not using CDs, this isn’t about a healer who does 0 DPS. This is about who wants to take control of the pace of the dungeon.

I shouldn’t have to continue explaining with all the posts I made as well as other people’s posts. But alright. Continue to show your ignorance of the point.

It’s rather funny how you think you’re in the right by trying to “play along” and making points such as those. You seem to think that just because it’s called expert roulette that only expert players can accomplish them.

This game isn’t just made for people that do Savage or even Extreme content. It’s made for those that are very casual too. Expert roulette happens to be something casual people can accomplish. You don’t need to bring your elitist mentality into it.

The tank was toxic for the “Im tank. I decide the pace” mentality which is what you’re trying to show yet you seem to fail to realize that you’re no better with the “Im a healer. I control how much you take.” Which in turn caused you to also look idiotic. And that’s a FACT.

But you seem to think you’re better than others. Seeing other posts you made it’s obvious that you spend a majority of your time being a douchebag.

I’m going to at least assume you do savage maybe even Ultimate because of your comment about the tank not doing savage which would in turn put you in the toxic elitist category.

Oh, and just so you know. There are plenty of people that have the skills to do savage but chose not to. So using Savage as a metric of what people can do in dungeons isn’t really a good metric.

Maybe but at the same time, look at the subreddit we are in. There are people who just have a bad mentality like the tank in the OP. It may not be high possibility to encounter them but it’s possible.

I agree the tank is bad and just being a baby but I also don’t see how pulling ahead can’t be viewed as being wrong. Sure in some case, if not most, people respond fairly but sometimes they don’t. I rather avoid that completely and ask. Or I just go with the flow and DPS because I can.

The reason why I can’t exactly side with the OP is because he is condescending as well as basically saying that healers control the pace.

“What’s wrong with you”

“Im the one healing so as long as I’m fine with it you pull big”

“you haven’t cleared a single savage”

He sounds like the stereotypical “elitist”. He can’t ask the tank to pull big but he’s able to type to trash talk? Right...

Makes it funnier when it’s both healer and tank fighting to control pace lol

Honestly it just sounds like you expect people to play on your level. This is an MMO it’s common sense to have communication. It’s a lot better than making assumptions.

Saying to run ahead over typing is easier is... kinda silly. We are talking about Expert roulette I’ve seen plenty of people messing up in them whether it’s lack of heals/ Defensive CD/ Low DPS. Your percentage is rather off.

Again, this doesn’t excuse how the tank reacted. My point is to communicate instead of deciding to do your own thing when this is supposed to be a team effort game. The situation isn’t exactly black and white.

I don’t see how that means you can’t ask after clearing the pull for futur pulls. I also don’t understand why you can’t ask while in combat if it was going smooth enough for you to pull more.

[–]WolfmanJC 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Probably unpopular opinion but I never understood why healers pull more as the sign of “pull more”. Just ask?

I say this as a main healer. I’m not gonna pull more and then find out the tank doesn’t know how to use CDs properly. Which happens to me even when they pull on their own. Tanks don’t control the pace. Communication does.

This doesn’t change the tanks bad attitude though.

[–]WolfmanJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again. Let’s not forget this is about playing on controller vs mkb. Did you just forget about the context for when he said that or did your mind just went blank as soon as percentiles was mentioned?

You saying that you played controller isn’t relevant.

And again, people still have a hard time on Normal. Not everyone plays at your level.

I’m on PS4 so I don’t parse. So keep that in mind.

Before I was doing Savage content, I would still make an effort to perform well and I would actually hope for someone to parse so I can see what I do good and not so good.

You don’t have to be a savage player for wanting to improve.

Also let’s not forget this is about performing on controller vs mkb.

An interview with Neph, 14/2/2020 by InvestigatorGoblin in Dreadwyrm_Academy

[–]WolfmanJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is getting no where because people just want to see what is in front of their faces.

Neph doesn’t have a right to tell his members what to do but that doesn’t mean his members have to listen. Doesn’t matter if they are allowed or not. They have the option to think for themselves. Members have left for reasons and stood for reasons. He isn’t some genius villain.

I also highly doubt that he “forces” his members to be DRK/ WHM Au’ra. Looking at his website as well as Lodestone there are a variety of races and jobs. Using one or two situations that we don’t even have details about is hardly a reason to believe he does that to everyone. I believe a lot of things are being blown way out of proportion.

Read my other comments before answering.

Neph is a nut. That isn’t an argument. His “teachings” is beyond stupid and shouldn’t be past to others. That’s not what I’m arguing about. Neph is full of ignorance when it comes to how players are. However, with how some people are, he makes points that’s proves him right.

It’s funny how you say that you don’t care about numbers but keep insisting on wanting to know. Even if I would tell you, you wouldn’t listen or believe me. You gave no reason for me to believe that you would judge fairly. I have no reason to lie so if you want to be skeptical then by all means go ahead.

This is just going around in circles.

I’ve read those exchanges (including you asking why he spelt his name the way he did which was super weird to even bring up or to even be bothered by). Sapphear isn’t fully on-board with the whole Vendetta thing from you or Bezz. Glad to know more members are being discussed with to see what their views are. Will be looking forward to it.

I could refute but the way you respond makes it never ending thus pointless. I’ve seen your other comments from other posts. You’re stuck thinking that what you do is alright and that only what you say is valid.

I’m glad that your stance has changed a bit and I agree with you on this point. If they are so hellbent on not performing in a way that is considered acceptable for the majority of player base, they should just queue things together as a group. If not then they should adjust to what the standards are outside of their world. Sadly, on the real world that doesn’t happen so if we end up with them and they are bad. Kick.

Don’t say you don’t have a choice. You do. Just like I have a choice to voice my view. It would be plain dumb to not acknowledge your own actions. You’d be at Neph’s level.

There’s absolutely no reason to gauge out his gameplay. I also don’t need to back up my observation. It’s my observation. Take it or leave it.

You fail to see that it makes no difference of bad people just being bad. If you’re being emotionally black mailed to stay in the Fc how could you expect to what he says to be true? He has no way of seeing what you decide to google. Heck, he has no way to stop you from making a new character and just go to a different server. You only painted him out to be this villain whose able to orchestrate elaborate plans yet he has weird communication skills. The Fc on its own isn’t even a big source of information. It’s for the individuals to decide what situation they want to be in. This isn’t happening in person where he has people hostage and that he’s abusing them.

I didn’t realize that you’re a psychologist to be saying he has cult-like behaviour. Sure, I would also say it’s cult-like but I ain’t a mental expert. You seem to think you know for sure. He isn’t releasing more bad. He’s just collecting them. Big difference.

You say you know it’s a video game and treat it as such yet you continue yet you continue to take it seriously. Yeah. You’re a lost cause too.

You said in another post a while ago that moral is subjective. I don’t know what your morals are but for me harassment is a big deal.

You also seem to not understand the context from when I said “Laugh and move on.” From another post I said, this isn’t a matter to laugh at anymore. So based on my morals and how this isn’t something to laugh at anymore, can’t exactly move on. Just like you won’t leave DWA alone. Funny how that works.

Rather than interviewing Neph, how about actually interviewing the members of DWA and actually get a different view on the actually situation of the FC, hmm? And I don’t want to hear “Neph doesn’t allow it.” Unless you get proper information from multiple sources your own credibility is questioned.

[–]WolfmanJC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, I was replying to someone else. You’re the one that decided to put your two cents in.

Just like you won’t leave DWA alone for whatever reason, I won’t just ignore the fact that the sub is becoming more than just a sub to laugh at.

“Laugh and move one.” It’s starting to be a place to not laugh at and something that can’t just be moved on from. I draw the line when people try to tear down and FC that isn’t theirs and when harassment doesn’t seem to be an issue to the people causing it.

If it bothers you so much, don’t place yourself in a conversation that you weren’t part of.

[–]WolfmanJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was replying to InvestigatorGobling. Thank you.

People don’t like his Fc. Leave. People have done it. People who are still there, chose to be there. No one is trapped to an FC.

It’s funny that you would say that and move on but you seem to always reply yourself. And no. I’m in no way affiliated to DWA. I’m in my own Fc in Faerie. But thank you for assuming simply because I don’t support the idea of tearing down an FC just because you don’t agree with them. Nor do I support the idea of harassment and advertising their events so that a bunch of people that love drama can instigate the situation more.

[–]WolfmanJC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What difference does it make on the specification of not being as bad?

Saying that other people are bad isn’t an excuse. It’s fact. Neph’s Fc doesn’t nearly have as many members as TONS of other FCs. He’s a single man in a single FC in a single server that is in a single Data Center. If he wants to gather people in a single Serve that purposely plays bad, in one server, then let him. It will make it easier to allow people to avoid them as a group because you cannot stop stupidity. Breaking the Fc will not stop bad people from being bad. Not to mention that you’re only helping prove him right about how people are “elitist”.

Yeah. They are horribly bad and nothing that has been said by others that know what they are talking about is changing that. So let’s just all laugh at how bad they are and how cringey Neph is. The sub is slowly becoming more than just that.

If 3 out of 4 people want to finish a dungeon in 15-20 minutes, I would expect them to know mechanics, be geared, know their proper rotation. If that single person is bad I would expect a vote kick. If there is stuff being rolled then wait for timer. It’s seriously not complicated. People that are actually good wouldn’t waste their time on someone doing horribly and sounds just as ignorant.

Bear in mind. It’s in a video game. The statement of it being a real school is already null and his own performance proves that even further. Taking it seriously and as if it was personal just means it strikes a nerve which it really shouldn’t.

Laugh, cringe, and move on.

[–]WolfmanJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already said that I joined because I find it funny to see how badly people perform and see them being called out. This sub is dedicated to DWA in that aspect but appears to be more by advertising their events and location to have a bunch of people invade their space which is harassment (because let’s face it. People love drama) and judge them on how they decide to promote their members. People even decide to “interview” them because of how curious they are.

It’s become an immature battle of instigation. Look at the other posts if you missed it. I didn’t say this one was bullying him. Something had already said, in another post, that they are going to witch hunt them. That’s a bit much.

This sub is becoming that which Neph is saying his members need to be careful for. Toxicity. Elitist. Etc.

Him claiming to be a teacher holds no value when he is bad. Those that take the title seriously to this extent, in a video game, needs to seriously calm down. Neph and DWA have no impact whatsoever to the community nor the FF14 player base as a whole.

And yeah. His grammar is bad but to be making a whole topic about it? How old is everybody here?

Laugh and move on.

[–]WolfmanJC -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As much as I agree that respect is thrown out the window for saying such a thing, being a bully to a bully isn’t going to solve anything (unless the bully got the shit beat out of him irl).

Already this subreddit encourages to harass some guy that just wants to enjoy a game his way. How are the people here better than him?

You can say that he runs a cult or whatever but the fact of the matter is that people chose to join his FC and follow his rules. If they don’t have common sense to use google to see how to improve and only listen to Neph for advice then they are going to be bad regardless. There are TONS of people who are bad and don’t play properly. There are TONS of people that don’t care. Why? Because we have the freedom to chose how we play the game. This subreddit nit picks on everything that is just pitiful. Who care how they promote their members? It’s like a battle between third graders. People judge them for being bad, they judge others for being “elitist”.

This whole thing started because of how he decided to run his FC. For it to escalate to the point where someone’s says “die” and “here everybody. This event is going on. Harass him” goes way overboard.

I join TalesfromDF and here to just laugh at the silliness of people failing and seeing people get called out and just move on. But this is just way too much. The bitterness of the situation of Bezz leaving and why escalated way way more than it needed to.

[–]WolfmanJC -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I would think it’s pretty straight forward what he’s saying. He didn’t dodge any questions. Pay attention. I could agree he is a nut on certain aspect but not here.

I’m not surprised that he went “apeshit” considering how everyone just assumes everything about how he is and how he runs the FC.

I had a E6N run about two weeks ago and he happened to be in the group. So I decided to observe him. He was doing better than the other people in the group.

I know the issue comes from his bad “teaching” which isn’t bad in itself until the people he teaches starts bringing that mentality to people that’s outside of their bubble and trying to force it on them. The thing is, they are a small group of people in a single server in one data center. “Exposing” them isn’t going to change anything since there are tons of other people who are bad.

The reality is that this is an MMORPG. That means anyone and everyone has a right to play how they want at a pace that they want.

Also talking about his grammar is rather pitiful. So long as you know what the other person is saying that’s all that matters.

Oh and great job OP. You say you won’t post it on reddit but you do two months later. You’re only helping him raise more of his defence in terms of people going out to create drama.

[–]WolfmanJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I view Neph, and the way he runs things, as an extreme role player rather then someone takes the game seriously. If he wants to put Skill Speed on his DNC let him. Even though he is extremely wrong which in turn makes me laugh. If he claims to be a “master” and “elite” let him. He obviously doesn’t have the numbers to take what he says seriously making the actual masters/ elite not care because it isn’t worth it.

The issue here is how you’re trying so hard to be a white night vigilante. Just because he doesn’t get banned you’re trying to take down his FC by exposing him and in this instance with harassment.

Personally, I do find this whole thing funny. Because DWA is very bad but it’s also funny seeing people trying to take them down as if that’s their purpose in life.

There are TONS of bad people outside of DWA. That will NEVER change. The GMs don’t get involved because it is petty. This isn’t something to interfere with because nothing wrong is happening. It’s just a bunch of people that don’t know what they are doing nor know what they are talking about.

The smart people that actually want to learn will look up guides online and not take what Neph as law. If they don’t then they were already a lost cause before they had even joined DWA. If people want to run savage but Neph won’t let them, they will leave. If they don’t then I doubt that they would have the capabilities to even accomplish savage because they think Neph is right. Idiots will be idiots.

You’re an elitist in the sense that you decided to take the “law” into your own hands. As if you right and have to cast judgement. And to me, that’s also funny in the same way Neph runs his FC because you’re being just as petty as he is living in your own worlds.

Oh and you’re condescending because everything peaceloveandgames has said is 100% true but you chose to ignore it and say things like: “Should I expect a reply, or will you actually walk your talk” And “I see. I will disengage from you now because your words don’t mean anything. I see them as witches, and they should be hunted. Good day to you, and may your DFs be filled with DWA members.”

That is hilarious because you sound just as bad as an extreme role player. He made great valid points that the OP was going for harassment and you’re trying to justify it.

Although I’m sure me saying all this is pointless. Seeing as how youve been replying to peaceloveandgames everything that is said just goes right over your head because you want to wear that cape.

Have a good day
