In a party setting, I generally don't have anything to say. There are different play styles...and pt's should be able to accept that and just keep rolling. The best of everything doesn't always come, lol. Just do the best you can w/ what you have....within reason, of course. (Funny how that last part is subject to personal interpretation....) (paragraph limited to my whm exp of lvl 56. Can't speak about pt dynamics after that.)

I've only had to voice my concern once during an exp pt....and that was to a RNG, who was pulling beetles faster than I could recover decently enough w/ an RDM in the pt. The tank was armored a bit light, and between me and the RDM, it was all we could do to keep pt members hasted, and keep the tank standing. On average, I was only able to get a tick or two in for down time. If it wasn't for the RDM's convert, the tank would have fallen on several occasions. No MP? ....let's pull anyway. That's a sure recipe for a pt wipe. ...matter of factly, that's when I did say something to the puller. Basically, a couple of pt members would request recovery time...and the puller didn't cooperate. The tank dutifully did his best to hold hate and survive. (PLD tank). Between 2 mages and the tank, we kept the tank alive till the mob was around 5% left. The DD's finished it off... The excuse was one that I've seen all too many times. ...not going to settle for "substandard" exp. Personally, I thought that was crap. That line makes me mad. Every time I hear that line, I'm going to ask "x" player if "y" player should have to settle for less exp due to death because "z" player hasn't recovered adequately. It's only my personal opinion here, but (sorry, I'm venting...lol) pt's are a co-op. {rant} Over pulling is just as bad as an improper SJ. {/rant}


...hell, I've just spent my last two pennies....



Doesn't this really say it all? ><
