Except when Brock pulls a Sahagin back to camp with his boomerang, and accidentally targets and attacks the Young Opo-Opo, having 3 of them link, and wiping out nearly the entire group. The F8 key is only good if the desired mob is the closest one.
Or when we're coffer hunting in Castle Zvahl and Jwb decides to take a look at what's at the bottom of one of the 4 circular holes and happens to fall all the way to the bottom and gets owned by about 3 demons, totally out of tractor range.
Funny times..
I can't say that without these stories though:
1) I pulled a Bark Spider back to camp in Boyahda and pulled the same stunt Brock did with the Opo-Opo, except I attacked a Death Cap. About 4 of them linked and wiped out everyone in our static except Jwb and I.
2) Rhain, Brock and I were in Xarcabard doing BLM AF1. We got about 3 or 4 demon links at the very end of the Chaos Elemental battle, so we figured we'd just have Brock cast Teleport-Holla to get all 3 of us out of there. Rhain panics and casts Warp II on Brock about 1 second before he was able to cast Teleport-Holla. Brock made it safely to his homepoint while Rhain and I were slaughtered by demons.
3) We asked Primetime, when he was a level 57 PLD (now 75), why he doesn't ever (literally never) use Defender. He said "Because it lowers my attack."
We look back and laugh at all of our occasional noobness.
