Auuuuuuugh

I say this as someone who loves the bonkers pulls: if someone isn't comfortable going wall-to-wall, we don't! Full stop! if I heal, I roll with whatever the tank does - if I tank, I ask the healer first if they want to do the bonkers pull.

I swear, I don't get the complex some people have over a thing as simple as this! (Except I do, and it's because the demographic that's Terrible At Consent is also one of the demographics drawn to online gaming. Ugggghhhhhhh.)

Anyway! I don't remember which DC your alt is on, but if they're also on Crystal, I will volunteer my services as a non-asshat tank, time and possibly-narcolepsy permitting.

:host-love: I did (MERCIFULLY) get past it on the third try– tank tried to turn my "oh god please don't" into a joke but when I got out a hasty "please no" mid overpull they stopped!! So I only hated them slightly and narrowly came down on the side of staying. (Longfriend is doing so much de-stressing work tonight.)

Except I do, and it's because the demographic that's Terrible At Consent is also one of the demographics drawn to online gaming. Ugggghhhhhhh.

This puts it into words so well, I say, making the season greasons face (very mild gore warning).

Obviously the forehead-slap part of this is that I am capable of healing these pulls, or as close as anyone is going to get. I'm rated for at least entry-level Savage on WHM. But if I want that kind of stress, I sign up for hard content! Leveling dungeons for MSQ should not make me feel like my skeleton has jellified from adrenaline, ESPECIALLY not because the tank was too busy sucking down WD-40 to apply a single moment of thought. I'm very happy to help people as long as they are doing their part; conversely, if someone has decided they're entitled to make me do all of the work and my explicit requests are to be ignored, bye!

ps. alt is indeed on Crystal! Looks like I won't need rescuing tonight, but I'd be thrilled to run something with you sometime (and after this debacle I might caaaasually check in when I make it to the 67 dungeon. no more cursed tanks pls, DF.)

Makes sense! I'll probably purge this info later just because I don't like having my contact info out in the open, but if you use Discord, I'm/we're [redacted] there. Feel free to shoot me a friend request - I've also got a teeny FFXIV friend server that I'd be glad to have you in, assuming everyone else is cool with it.

Glad to figure out other methods of contact too, including "hope we're checking Cohost at roughly the same time" lol.
