Okay, not going to name any names, but I have a story to tell about a blantantly bad party I was in last night. I got a tele there from Jeuno, and went to party as the whm. We had tanks, another rdm, etc.
Immediately, I get killed by a goblin which was too strong that was pulled, and then I remembered-DOH! I had forgotten to set homepoint. So I went back to Jeuno, no big deal. I had a teleport to Holla already waiting for me when I zoned there. Then the leader asks me to disband while he gets someone to replace while I'm on my way walking there from La Theine. I didn't see the sense in it, as I would be there in just a minute, but alright, I did what was said.
I get there, set my homepoint...then he says "Hey, the whm is going to stay. Our RDM is leaving in 15 mins...can you power level us till then and then you can come back in?"
At this point, I'm getting kind of iffy. Here I've sacrificed my life to save the party, as well as lost exp. And then they're asking me to help them stay alive by powerleveling them thus also giving them xp after they had told me I could get right back in?
So I finally got back in the party. First off, one of our tanks d/cs mid battle. No biggy, we have another voker. Then I get hate...voker doesn't voke. -.- So I start to run...then the leader /tells me off for running, telling me I'm supposed to sacrifice myself. (I had already DONE that, difference was, the voker was actually VOKING that tie) So next up, we're getting 50 exp off tough crabs which they have a hell of a time fighting anyway. The puller runs out, pulls, then gets a gob train and zones. Comes out of zones, gobs attack again, he goes back to zone. Then he comes out again...drops dead. Goes back to home point, comes back to party. SO we're finally going again...we take on a vt crab...and we have HELL getting through it...I and the other whm are having to spam cures to keep them alive...finally, THEY die and we get...115 exp. Not worth it...took way too long.
And then, finally, I tell the leader I'm getting tired, and I'll be logging in about 10-15 mins, to just let me know when he found a replacement. (I COULDN'T look for a replacement, they were pulling repetitively, and I was having a hard enough time trying to keep them alive. BESIDES, it's not my JOB to find a replacement, and even if it were, as much trouble as I had been through with the party already you'd think they'd have cut me some slack)Oh no. That was it. I had had it. I LEFT. Logged out.
Was I wrong to do this? I can't see how I was, because honestly, I had already sacrificed myself, and I was having hell. What's next? I'm slightly worried that people are going to be spreading the word that "Dreamar is a bad white age who quits parties without warning" or "DREAMAR IS A HORRID WHM". Just to set the record straight, this is what happened...and I'm...peeved. -.- *huff puff*
