A few of mine: (Most of these apply to RDM and WHM)
-If for some reason, we all die, and I HP to come back and raise you, don't bitch about how long it takes me. I ate the most xp loss, not you. Furthermore, when I head back to town to change back to the job I was exping on, don't ask me if I'll PL the five of you. Even further, as I'm getting myself back to change jobs, don't fucking die again from aggro because you're too stupid to rest out of aggro range, and THEN expect me to come all the way back out there to raise you. If you die again before I leave, fine, I'll raise you, but when I've gone to change back already then you're SOL. You eat the HP this time for being dumb.
- Bring oils and powders, because hell no I'm not coming back to find you when your sneak wears next to twenty-six aggro mobs. The sneak/invis you get at the zone is courtesy, the rest are up to you. Further, if you die on the way to camp surrounded by aggro mobs that aren't going to depop, you might just want to suck it up and HP, because no mage in their right mind is going to attempt to raise you.
- RDMs, don't over-cure me when I'm on WHM. I know exactly how much HP a Cure II, III, IV, and V can heal for. Nothing pisses me off more than a Cure V for <100 HP. Things like this make me rather party with Bards. Also, take note: Your Regen will
have no effect on someone if I've already casted Regen II or III on them. I know you know how to main heal. This time, I'm in charge of it so please back off.
You should be happy to have the break.
- If you don't want to /nin for my merit parties, don't be surprised if I don't cure you the second you get hit. I have other things to do in exp, and part of the reason I asked you to /nin in the first place was so that I wouldn't have to stop my cycle to get you your HP back.
- Don't let me pull hate from curing you so you can get your shadows up, then voke. I'm not a tank, nor am I a back-up tank. Don't turn me into one. If I wanted to tank I'd have leveled a tank job.
- Conversely, if you're a WAR/NIN and I have two of you in the party, don't be surprised if you're asked to dual tank,
especially if we have a Bard. Don't be a baby, keep your shadows up, trade vokes, and I'll keep you alive. Promise.
- If your gear sucks, don't be surprised if you're kicked. I understand the difference between, "I'm trying" and "I really just fucking fail." Coming to my merit party with level 14 rings is just not acceptable, nor is coming with empty slots. If you put so little effort into your gear, I find it hard to imagine you put much effort into playing well.
