Ok then. Yesterday, I was xping allllll day, trying to get level 70. I got invited into a party at Caederva mire. It was going great and we were fighting Jnuns, imps, and flies, and it was an all JP party. I loved this party, but unfortunately, only after an hour and 30 minutes, the leader says "Disbanding party".
So, I put my flag up when I'm about 10k tnl, and I get invited to yet another xp party at Caederva mire. Once again, the party is doing superb. We've got a ninja, blu, sam, bard along with a rdm for refreshing, healing(which we didn't really need at all), and silencing of the imps. All is good! Unfortunately, after 30 minutes, lo and behold, the ninja, rdm and bard have to leave the party, and I'm only 3k away from my next level. So what do I say?
"Let's try to make our own party guys!"
Big, big mistake. The rdm gives the sam lead, and we manage to find a war, whm, and nin. OK. So we go to fight imps. I play like I usually do, and I had about a stack of echo drops on me (which I didn't have to use before because the ninja was able to keep hate). So, we're fighting imps and flies, and I'm doing my style like I usually do. Then I notice something. The whm, who's wearing a vermy cloak, has mp that's constantly in the 150-250 range, so what does the brilliant samurai say?
"Vyse, you're going to support heal."
I'm having to constantly support heal due to the mobs attacking the other players, I'm alright with this. Half of the time, I'm attacking, and the other half, I'm healing the other players. Big deal.
Now, some of the special attacks of the imps take away special abilities of the characters. So what does the Samurai say?
"Vyse, cure our status ailments!"
Here's the kicker. You would think the whm would silence the mob.....wrong. So I'll be in the middle of casting Blizzard III or some other high tier spell, and I would see "The imp heralder starts casting Thundaga II". So while I'm healing everyone's status ailments, using echo drops on myself(because the whm is getting hit very often) and casting curaga on the party.
Everyone's telling me to stun the mob when he casts an -aga spell. I'm not able to because I'm in the middle of casting something else that's not in my job, to even care about it. So, in essence, they get wiped, because I was chain-spelling everything else.
So brilliant samurai says,
"Don't you know what stun does???!!! I shouldn't be telling this to a 70 blm."
So the party is aggrevated at me. Wow! The ninja slaps me and says I'm doing a half-assed job. Thanks!
All I do is say "lol" and ignore it. So the whm in the party is giving me a snot-nosed attitude, saying that you should bring 3 stacks of echo drops whenever you party here. Ok....newsflash, idiot. I shouldn't be getting hit with AoE spells in the first place. I brought one stack for myself and lo and behold! The stack was already gone within 30 minutes. So I endure their hisses for 30 minutes, get my level. So in essence, in the end, I wasn't even magic bursting anymore, let alone playing
my own job. I was made out to be their whm/rdm bitch and I would've told them to fuck themselves, had I not been so close to leveling.
Randomly, the brilliant samurai and the whm say that they have to go, so I got my level just in time. God forbid the samurai waits to get a red mage, or just says that we can wait until we find one. I was curious as to what these guys were up to, so i do a /sea all and I find out the sam is a 75 mnk and the whm is a 75 blm. Figures. Condescending idiots make me mad. Just shows me that anybody can hit 75 these days.
